Rival watch

Except it doesn't count as silverware, any more than the Emirates Cup does. Not that you can win that these days.

 

You can't expect them to beat the New York Fizzy Pops.

Home or away.

 

Except the fact it's an official competition, not something set up by the clubs. Every league in Europe has a super cup and there's even one for Europe.

It might not exactly be the champions league but it's an official tournament so it obviously counts as a trophy (a minor one granted) far more than the emirates cup or any pre season club arranged cups do.

Barca include it in there 7 trophies in a year boasting

 

How can it be a trophy when only 2 teams enter? This aint the Boat race.

 

Take it up with footballs governing bodies, I don't make the rules

Oh and those two teams have to go and win something first to enter it, there are requirements for who is one of the two teams, they aren't just a couple of random teams in pre season

 

Your own official website has it classified as a major honour

 

Then our official website is wrong

 

It also has the 2nd division title down as one. That doesn't make it true.

 

A few of your fans may disagree but your club obviously views it as a major trophy

 

Is 99% a few now?

 

You've asked them all? :O

 

As they do the 2nd division title. Yours also thinks that the Fairs Cup is one, despite it not meeting your own criteria of being "an official tournament".

 

The fairs cup is an interesting one, it was organised by people including an FA official all ending up senior parts of fifa, it is the predecessor to the uefa cup, but is not recognised as a major honour by uefa as they didn't run it, but FIFA do recognise it.

I think an argument could probably be made for or against including it as a major honour.

 

Christ, they're banging on about this more than when Wilshere "bossed" Xavi

 

Annoying, isn't it?
One Arsenal fan I know tried to rub the result in to me today, so I asked him a simple enough question:
Who won it last year and who did they beat?
Total blank.

 

According to someone in this thread, Barca have even won it although I can't say I remember them ever winning the FA Cup or even competing in the Premier League

 

I think that he was referring to the Super Cup. A Chelsea fan that I know insisted that this was also a major trophy, until their game against Atletico!

 

The Fail are at it again, saying that Walker is on Barca's list of players they want to replace Dani Alves.

The same Dani Alves that nobody is interested in buying due to his wage demands, so they haven't sold him to necessitate a replacement.

 

Adrian Durham was ripping the absolute piss out of Gooners, on his TalkShite show, earlier. It was hilarious!

 

Good story
