c1982 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sunday 26th February 2012: What was the original idea behind the Football League Cup in season 1960-61? I've heard it was made mid-season when Liverpoo were doing poorly and the idea was to give them another chance to win something and get into Europe just in case! (Everton were never to be allowed to win it!) liverpoo have been allowed to win on 'off' seasons regularly ever since... That's what I've heard anyway!

The Beard Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Just thought I would throw this one in. Which current league side's only domestic honour is the Charity Shield? The answer is Brighton and Hove Albion. Between 1910 and 1915 it was played between League winners and winners of the, amateur, Southern League. Brighton beat Aston Villa on the only occasion the League winners lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Help!, there's questions all over the place, it's like trying to answer three at the same time. Need some organization here I would never have got that Charity Shield question right, I wasn't even aware it was active as far back as that I dont know the League Cup question either, Rotherham were very nearly the first winners I think of all things and all things considered maybe they should never have even brought this tournament about, its merely an insignificant plastic piece of trophy. If they can scrap the ECWC like they did about 10 years ago, which wasnt a bad european contest, then why leave the League Cup unmolested and just getting in the way of proper calendar fixtures or games that are actually relevant. Has nothing to do with the fact Everton have never won it or the Shite have a little game on later today, its merely how I feel about it Maybe there was a lot of competitions starting about that time, such as the Scots League Cup, UEFA cup, ECWC, European Cup, even the European Championships in 1960 even, it was just that time for it all so they thought 'let's include this in it too' I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THFC6061 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It was to gain more income for the clubs to pay for the stuff they used, or something like that. Almost there! It was to enable clubs to get extra income from their investment in floodlights, as matches were played midweek in the evenings, including the Final.

Sorry Mike, I should have checked the question, I was of course meaning the Division 1 (in all its guises, the FA and League Cups and Charity Shield. I thought the Charity Shield part would have fooled folk as they never won any of the others. Ah well back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I can see a theme starting here! My first guess would have to be Denis Bergkamp seeing as he is an absolute genius with the football. I'd expect that he would have scored a fair few goals for the Netherlands in his prime and I woulden't be surprised if nobody has matched it. I don't think that Van Basten will be up there due to his long injury crisis which will have stopped him from scoring so my guess is Denis Bergkamp. Patrick Klivert gets an honourable mention too, if it's not Bergie then I'll guess him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Kenny Dalglish (won with Liverpool) Sir Alex Ferguson (won with Manchester United) Jose Mourhinho (won with Chelsea) I do actually know the other three because I have heard this question before when it was just the five managers (Dalglish only got added to that list when he beat Cardiff the other night) and I'm sure the other managers are before my time. I'm 100% confident about my first three guesses however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ages ago I guess I'd go for the Olympics too, they have never won the World Cup or the Euro's and there is no other competition that I can see them entering. It's probably from a long, long time ago though; 1920's? 1930's? Anyways, Olympic Gold for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
