Who's dumb idea was it to parade the League Cup before the PSV match?

Here we were about to face the run away leaders of the Dutch league, fighting for a spot in the last 8 of the UEFA cup and only 3 more teams to beat to win the UEFA Cup, and somebody has the brainwave to parade the League Cup and distract the players the job at hand.

If the season is going to continue with us looking backwards we might as well fold up our jerseys and throw them into the bottom drawer until August.

Plenty of people wanted an open top bus parade, this was a much better option.

This isn't why we lost.

....This isn't why we lost.
Not the main reason but these things add up.

Don't think Chelsea would have been parading before their Champions League match if they had won the League Cup. Kind of hoped Ramos wouldn't stand for slacking off.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the result, had the players not done a warm up and just sat in the changing room looking at their reflections in the trophy then maybe. We lost because PSV tactically got it spot on, end of

Bale and Gunter looked quite embarrassed by it all but the demand came from the fans. So much for singing 'my eyes have seen the glory of the cups at White Hart Lane' and then complaining when they actually show the cup off! :lol:

Anyway, I don't think this affected the performance in any way.

Yep, 2 non playing players whipped the cup around the stadium whilst the team were in the dressing room, this is surely the reason that we lost.

It had nothing to do with the result, but it was still a VERY dumb idea.

I thought some effort would be put in to it, Bale & Gunter looked like they'd rather be a million miles away! It was hardly a 'parade' either. I actually though it was dissapointing and a bit of a daft idea considering we had the big game to follow and no 'big' names to 'parade' it!!

first home game since we won it. it was a logical thing to do. methinks u are a tad over reacting.

I think Psycologically a few of the squad are candidates for complaicency so every little reminder should be avoided.

you honestly believe this is why we lost?

you honestly even think this contributed to us losing?

you think gilberto was thinking about it when he gave the ball away?

You think keano and berba were thinking about it and thats why they didnt score?

You really are scraping the barrel with this one mate.

Loser.
