Surely it's about attitude.....?It's too bloated. There's too many games. And when you get through the group, after playing 2 rounds of qualifiers just getting to the group, you then have to play a bunch of CL rejects. We don't and never have had the squad depth to take it seriously and be competitive in the league. We just don't.
Man City don't NEED to win the 'Mickey Mouse Beneath Us League Cup'.... yet they do.... year after year.... cos they just wanna win whatever, or WHOEVER is put in front of them.... yes, of COURSE they've got bigger fish to fry... up to a fortnight ago, they were going for the quadruple!
Imagine having to play CHAMPIONS LEAGUE REJETCS!!!! urrrgh, get that awful taste out of my mouth!
It's not about the 'glamour or prestige' of the trophy in question.... it's about attempting to win every trophy you enter.
...so WHAT if it's Plovdiv or, God forbid Quarabag on a Thursday night.... ? Woe is us, having to mix it with, and travel to such European PLEBS... oh the SHAME of it, cos we're SO above that!
I'd rather we'd have won a trophy, ANY trophy this season.... EVEN IF it was the 'Who cares, except Man City League Cup or the (I can hardly bring myself to say it) ROPEY LEAGUE!
Fuck me, we're SUCH deluded entitled snobs.... no wonder everyone hates us!
