Question for those who might have a deeper knowledge of the history than me: If I guaranteed you that we would come in 4th in the league this year, would you rather win the League Cup or this competition?
I've been following Spurs for a little less than 20 years from the U.S. I always assumed this competition was more prestigious, but is it just about the CL placement? Which cup would you rather have all things being equal?

EL. Gets a CL spot with silverware
Bit of an odd question as you seem to answer it yourself. This competion is more prestigious than the Rumbelows Cup AND gets CL qualification. There is no comparison if you can choose one of 4th in the league, league cup winners or EL winners.
Europa League without a shadow of a doubt!
My question is more: assume we finish top 4 in the league (meaning we get CL either way). Would you rather win the League Cup or this?
It's the polio in his right leg that does it. Here can only pass in one direction.
Definitely Europa League. Much harder to win in terms of games to play, much more prestige.
EL is definitely more prestigious than League Cup.
I know, I meant his contract runs until June 2023
To tease this out more: Assuming we would get top 4 (CL either way), Europa or FA cup?
EL for me, especially since we had to play through all the qualifying games too. Still a long way to the final though so fingers crossed :avbpray:
Oh I see. Bit of a moot question. No chance we’re getting top 4 this season in my opinion.
However for the avoidance of doubt, I’d imagine you’d struggle to find a single Spurs fan who’d pick the Littlewoods Cup over the UEFA Cup. (Unless we could guarantee beating the scum in the Milk Cup final).
Europa again for me
I love a polo me.....
European trophies have much more prestige.
Clearly the Europa is the more prestigious prize, even if we ignore the CL Place awarded to the winners. Apart from a penalty win against Chavs we just had to beat Stoke and Brentford to get to the Carabao final!
Europa is a marathon slog around the continent’s backwaters. Worse for us - we had several qualifying matches to even be able to take part!
