Since experiencing the joy of Sunday a few fans of other clubs have tried to dampen my spirits with the cliched 'worthless cup' jibes. It's a secondary trophy which is beneath the big clubs and only fans starved of success with no chance of a 'major' trophy would revel in winning it they say.
This got me thinking about how my perception of the prestige of the League Cup has increased over the last few years and the value winning it now has. There's a very insightful article in the guardian (for a change) on this very subject, which provides great ammunition in any 'debate' with bitter 'fans' trying to belittle our great achievement. Check it out.
