The brutal truth is that the only teams being historically successful in the last 10 years or so are Utd and Chelsea and in last 5 years City (and Arsenal to a lesser extent with 3 FA cups in 4 years). You also have to mention Leicester due to the astonishing nature of their Title.

Trophies won in the last 10 years (no com shields or other glorified friendlies)
Utd 10
Chelsea 9
City 3
Others 5
Arsenal 3
Liverpool 1
Spurs 1

As for Spurs they are undoubtedly progressing but until they win big on a regular basis they can't really be successful IMO, just like liverpool TBF.
A league cup every 10 years is really going to cut it.

In the long term no one (bar a teams own fans) remembers finishing 2nd in the league or losing a final. History only remembers winners. It's that unbroken success that builds a dynasty.

As for the top 4 and CL it's brings money and prestige but I doubt many fans consider getting dumped out at the group stage or absolutely hammered in the last 16 as successful.

But then again, i'm not from the Far East, America or an Accountant, so what the fook do I know.

Pompy fa cup 10 years ago... ditto.
Swansea league cup... struggled since
Leicester league... total rubbish.
Birmingham league cup. Also done.

All those clubs fans loved their trophy. It gave them happiness

Fascism alive and well in Italy.

Fans protest during Holocaust tribute at Serie A matches

Some Juventus fans turned their backs and sang the Italian national anthem during a minute's silence to remember the Holocaust before the Serie A game against SPAL.

Turds.
I'm sure there are still plenty of people everywhere with racist and anti-Semitic views, but when they openly flaunt it as a group like that it gets a bit scary. They'd just claim it's their right under free speech principles, I suppose, but whatever your opinion of a certain group of people the implied condoning of mass murder is unacceptable in any civilised society.

Cheers for spotting my TYPO. corrected it.
 
embarrassing times... the league cup draw is 1 hour 19mins late due to "some technical issues"

as in they can't seem to stream it back to china or something.

total farce.

Disney should come in with a bigger offer than Carabao next time.

Then it really could be "the Mickey Mouse Cup".

All the yank owners in the league would be desperate for that one :emoticon-0136-giggl
