Stan Collymore, an increasingly essential pundit in my humble opinion, has just proclaimed (tweeted) that the order of top club's priorities is as follows:
1. Champs' League
2. Domestic League
3. Top Four
4. FA Cup
5. League Cup
6. Europa League
I presume by this he means Europa League qualification as opposed to winning the thing; I fancy winning it outright would be considered a bigger deal than winning either the FA or League Cup.
Nevertheless, the low prioritisation of both domestic cup competitions seems to be something we'll all have to accept.
It's bloody painful to know that Dicky Davis will never again wake the nation up at 8am live from Wembley on Cup Final Day, but as this hasn't actually happened since 1984 I guess we'll all just have to build a bridge.
Kenny Dalglish and Alex Mcliesh are proof that it's been a bad week for people whose surnames rhyme with quiche. They are also proof that winning the League Cup means diddly squat.
There is every chance that the winning manager of this year's FA Cup will be out of a job this time next week too. Bad times indeed for our domestic cups. Stay strong you ribboned, silver jugs of joy.
