2 footballing giants come to head to head in 2012 to contest the cup final.....but first, it's liverpool vs cardiff scrapping over a tinpot that most other teams couldn't give a t0ss about, hence the regular presence of smaller clubs. Whoopdedoo, we may win the carling cup. If we do win, I hope that henderson doesn't get a medal - I've contributed more than he has!

winning the Carling cup and/or the FA Cup are markers of where we are now. Not where we want to be or stay, this is not our ceiling but more of a platform to better things. 80% of success is ability and 20% is belief, I look at UTD and I see a decent to average side yet they are powering away in the league. Very much like what we did in the 80's, all because they have the nous for winning.
I don't discount your views on attracting the best players in fact I agree but if the team is to bond and improve as it is then trophies are required. In 2001 we bumbled along in the league but did well in the cups, once we won the Carling cup the team had the appetite for more and we acheived 3 cups and champs league place - mainly because we were high on winning and felt we could not lose. That is what we need this season. Fans also need to share in the success, after the Hicks/Gillete years we once again need to be proud of our club and winning the Carling Cup on sunday will go someway to achieving that.

I will be there and be as proud as ever to hopefully see the buys celebarting as winners once again. Winning is infectious

We lived in the radcliff estate before it got knocked down, if you remember that place faz

of course its shameful for liverpool supporters to dismiss liverpool possibly winning a cup or two , what would these people rather have the carling cup or another nothing barren season.

Faz is right on your deathbed you won't remember getting 4th place. BUT......

Had we not got 4th place in the 2003 / 4 season then there would have been NO Istanbul. Well all right there would have been but we would not have been there.

Remember that.....

I agree with faz here completely. Do people realise that if we don't win a trophy this season then it would be Liverpool Football Club's longest trophy drought in over 40 years? That's unthinkable. The club is built on success, and success is built on trophies. In 20 years when you look back on the club's honour roll, finishing 4th won't be on there.

Listen before you get on your high horse, dont be getting offended, all I am saying is there is simply no way I can get my head around anyone wanting to support another city's or Town Clubs when they have perfectly good ones on there doorstep, IT's just something I simply dont understand and like I said I dont want to upset anyone as it's not my intention in thsi case.


loyal SEASON TICKET holder...

That's a very good point Stanley. However, us qualifying for it isn't anywhere near a guarantee that we'll win it the following season - that's a massive rarity. You're right though - you have to be in it to win it, but we're in a Cup Final now, and for people to say they'd rather not be in it is beyond ridiculous.
