I remember with relish the Dutch team that lost in WC74 for their football mind and exquiste style. How many of us remember the winners of WC82 and 90. Contrary to what the Americans want us to think, winning is not everything!

Frankly nobody remembers anything particularly if they lose.
A chance of making these so called ‘kids’ of ours a reference point for the future will only start from pointing to this final if they win. I’m sure a lot of purists rememeber that Barca won the CL final but don’t really remember the amazing football their opponent (Arsenal) played leading up to the final.

What I’m saying in short is that it will become very distant memory if they are beaten by Chelsea on Sunday but ‘may’ be remembered when they get even better in the future (if they win this Sunday)

Nice story! I’m with you, the people that count will remember the remarkable efforts the ‘kids’ put in. Here’s to finishing off the job on Sunday

I agree with rob. No one would remember the team that lost.

I don’t wanna be funny but this “kids” thing is condescending to the young professional players we put out in those matches, as it is to their opponents.

And I’m fairly sure that this year’s carling cup winners will be the team that actually wins.

That isn’t to say I’m not pleased and excited by what some of the players we have on the verge of breaking into the first team can do and how they’ve played so far.

But in a year or two people won’t remember who played, they’ll remember which team won.
