Congratulations to Salford beating Pompey in the 2020 final at Wembley today.
I wonder if they took the cup home to display it in their trophy cabinet? The 2021 final is tomorrow so it won't exactly be gathering dust.
Makes you wonder why they bothered with the final at all. Why not just split the money 50:50 and scrap that meaningless game?
And maybe the whole competition?

Since the cup in it’s various guises was introduced we’ve competed for it every season bar four (three when we were second tier and one when we were non-league) and never won it. They have entered it twice and won it once. Reckon it was more than worth it for them. After all we still go on about winning a cup limited to eight teams who had the distinction of being the highest scoring sides in their division who didn’t win anything...and we won that on penalties after a nil nil draw just like they just did.

Playing at Wembley without fan,totally pointless,farce Not really as I assume it had to be done for the sponsors etc and also to split the prize money, not sure why they did it on consecutive days though, why not make this season's a preseason game next season when, I assume, fans could actually attend. Not sure why Pompey don't dismiss Jackett now rather than the summer, as they are rumoured to be doing, unless they don't want to get promoted. |

I just wish the EFL would hurry up and invite Premier League B teams into the 3rd and 4th Divisions so we can crack on and bring back the Anglo Scottish Cup so we can then focus on getting Rangers and Celtic into the Championship

They didn't happen because people pushed back against it. So the people you think you're taking the water out of were part of the reason it didn't happen. |

See Squeeky Lee won with Sunderland at Wembley Fair play to him. it was funny watching the celebrations. All the players were jumping up and down and lee was struggling to make his presence felt bless him. he is half the size of any of his team. |
