I have to admit I dont know why there is so much anomosity towards the carling cup. Admittedly, the Premiership is number one priority, but if there was a chance to win some silverware along the way wouldnt we all love a trip to Wembley? Of all the trophies it is one that is very winnable with teams putting out weakened teams. You just need some lucky draws and who knows. The binners proved that theory right last year coz let''s face it their team was pants last year!!!

and it get's a team in to European football![]()
Birmingham, cup winners relegated team............
We did it ourselves last time too!
Also saw some binners questioning why we are laughing at them, on twitter, for getting knocked out by Northampton! They say they had their second team out and it's a 'mickey mouse cup.' Odd seeing as they reached the semis of the competition last year!
