This has been driving me nuts.
Whats the difference between the League cup and the FA Cup? I thought they were the same.

Is it harder to win the League Cup (I always see how even the biggest teams have like 10 FA Cups and like 1 or 2 league cups in their entire history.

thanks

The FA Cups are more important, League Cups 'big' clubs usually play thier reservs, and bench players.

The League Cup is for ONLY the clubs within the English Football Leagues. (League Two and up)

The FA Trophy is for EVERY club below the football leagues. (Conference and below)

The FA Cup is for EVERY club in England!

That's the simple explanation! (as far as I understand it)
