It's sad but true, I don't think the Carling carries much weight anymore, certainly if it's the only success of a season - I remember my own pleasure in us winning it in 2003 lasted pretty much until our next gormless and insipid defeat, at which point I forgot all about it.

 

If someone had offered me 2nd in the league and a decent run in the CL at the start of the season, I'd have been more than happy to take it as it would have (and will, hopefully) represent a genuine step forward.

 

(Who knows, maybe we'll nab the FA Cup this time round too...)

 

Who remembers second best?

Sad but true. No matter how small the Carling Cup is, it still represents a victory, a win in a competition. If we gets 2nd this season, it will be a step in the right direction, however it still doesn't represent being the best.

Ask any of the LFC players, and my guess would be they have the same view. They want to win competitions, not finish second, even though that second place might represent a step forward.

I'd say finishing second has an impact on players' perceptions of us as well Andy.

 

Whose? Fuck 'em!

 

The choice was 2nd in the league, last 16 CL

OR

3rd in the league, last 32 CL, winners Carling Cup

 

I'll take the trophy anyday. Or is one place in the league better than a cup when that place is not 1st?

There are some fundamental misconceptions in this thread that I'd like to correct: 1) we're going to win the league; 2) we're going to retain the big fella; and 3) Wigan are going to stuff United at Cardiff. Obviously we'll have had the most successful season.
