View Full Version : fa cup or worthington? redtide34 26-01-2003, 06:37:PM which is more 'important' and counts toward the treble? Thanks flamehawk 26-01-2003, 06:54:PM I dunno, I think the FA- CUP is more important ShearerM4 26-01-2003, 07:09:PM .... huh easy question. FA Cup rules !! we need both cups ... but you can ask anyone which one they'd rather win >>> FA Cup no doubt the Cup is such a tradition in England, was there even b4 the league Neutral LFC 26-01-2003, 07:29:PM FA Cup Digitarius 26-01-2003, 08:15:PM FA Cup by a mile. The Worthington 'Worthless' Cup has none of the sparkle of the FA Cup. Although they both yield a Uefa Cup place these days there's little question as to which is more important. playmate 26-01-2003, 08:21:PM well there never wud be such unanimity of opinion as we see in this thread.:) arthur 26-01-2003, 09:42:PM The FA Cup is certainly the more prestigious trophy. The Worthington Cup would count towards a domestic treble. Of course, 2 teams still have the possibiity of winning the quadruple - the Premiership, FA Cup, Worthington Cup and European trophy - Man U and Liverpool. Realsitically, Liverpool are highly unlikely to win the Premiership but it's all there for Manu U. TOON ARMY 26-01-2003, 09:49:PM Originally posted by ShearerM4 .... huh easy question.

League FA Cup Champions' League Worthless Cup Community Shield UEFA Cup Intertoto Between FA Cup and Worthington 'Worthless' Cup, anyone would rather have the FA Cup. BTW: Arsenal can win the Quadruple, Shield - League - FA Cup - CL night 26-01-2003, 11:33:PM Originally posted by Ljungberg08 Community Shield CL isnt it called charity shield? :confused: Bobby 26-01-2003, 11:35:PM Could be, but i heard it recently changed names. Digitarius 27-01-2003, 10:40:PM It is now called the FA McDonald's Community Shield as of this season. And a team cannot win the Champions League and Uefa Cup in the same season. I know you knew that, Ljungberg08, but I just like to point it out to somebody who might not. Intertoto Cup doesn't have a clear winner, because the there are three finals. InterToto, Community Shield and the European Super Cup are all pointless trophies so a lot of teams don't bother with it. JayWay 27-01-2003, 11:25:PM LDV Vans, ok! How can't you adore a cup competition that still embraces regional cup ties. Digitarius 28-01-2003, 09:26:PM But Premiership sides aren't allowed to play in the LDV Vans Trophy, though, in the same way that they can't enter the Coppa Italia. Seán D 28-01-2003, 10:17:PM FA Cup is better, but the Worthington Cup is a good prize for the smaller teams i.e, Man Utd and Liverpool. arthur 28-01-2003, 11:24:PM Originally posted by Digitarius But Premiership sides aren't allowed to play in the LDV Vans Trophy, though, in the same way that they can't enter the Coppa Italia. Not strictly speaking true. West Ham United won't ever be allowed to play in the Coppa Italia because they are not an Italian team. But they will probably be playing in the LDV Vans Trophy in season 2004/5 :D arthur 28-01-2003, 11:32:PM Originally posted by Digitarius But Premiership sides aren't allowed to play in the LDV Vans Trophy, though, in the same way that they can't enter the Coppa Italia.

ShearerM4 30-01-2003, 05:44:PM Originally posted by Digitarius But in that same vein West Ham United aren't going to be in the Premiership soon, are they? well dunno good win for them last night ... could be the start of their revival and saviour Payaah 30-01-2003, 07:55:PM Originally posted by Seán Denny FA Cup is better, but the Worthington Cup is a good prize for the smaller teams i.e, Man Utd and Liverpool. :rolleyes: :mad: :nape: |
