what is the difference FA Cup and League Cu

The LC is much better as all games (except the final) are played during the week and therefore dont get in the way of the PL. The only thing worse than an FA Cup weekend is the international break.

When we used to win the FA Cup it was regarded as just as good as winning the league but mainly due to so much live football and the top 4 CL situation its not what it was.

Used to be the fa cup was prestigious and the league cup was a series of friendlies and you got a shiny if you won them all

Now they're both distractions and you get a shiny if you win

If Chelsea win and have qualified for Europe already, the League cup Europa place goes to the premier league. The losing finalists don't qualify


Ooooooops......................of course I was thinking of the FA Cup

"Used to be the fa cup was prestigious"

It still is the greatest competition, because of the non-league aspect.
That the authorities demean it by not always having it as the last game of the domestic season etc is another story.

Whilst the FA Cup seems to have the better reputation, and certain club fans claim not to be too bothered about the League Cup, if you look at a list of recent winners of each, it shows how serious the bigger teams DO actually take it. Here's a list of recent winners for both.

FA Cup:

2014 - Arsenal
2013 - Wigan
2012 - Chelsea
2011 - Man City
2010 - Chelsea
2009 - Chelsea
2008 - Portsmouth

League Cup:

2014 - Man City
2013 - Swansea
2012 - Liverpool
2011 - Birmingham
2010 - Man Utd
2009 - Man Utd
2008 - Spurs

a lot more money for winning the FA cup £100,000 for winning Capitalone cup

When Chelsea beat Tottenham in the final, I hope people won't be saying it's only the league cup.

There is not much chance a Spurs fan is going to mock the League Cup seeing as its the last silverware we won....

But would they mock it if their last 2 pieces of silverware over the last 2 decades was the FA Cup or Premier League?
