Would just mean Arsenal make the final or close to it every year but never win it.

Wouldn't change much then.

Ouch.

But seriously, Middlesborough vs Bolton was a League Cup final match. Need I say more.
But Boro weren't a bad team back then, they somehow got their way to the UEFA Cup final the following season, but rightly got spanked by Juande Ramos' Sevilla.

The League Cup was a money spinning competition back in the 80s. They realised that fans wanted more football, so they put this competition in place, getting more money out of the people. But with the money involved in the league and European Cup nowadays, this little cup is no longer on top of the big clubs' priorities.

I've always enjoyed the Carling Cup, because it gives our reserve and young players a chance to play some serious football, and it also gives me a chance to see how they are.

Middlesbrough: Schwarzer, Mills, Ehiogu, Southgate, Queudrue, Mendieta, Boateng, Doriva, Zenden, Juninho Paulista, Job (Ricketts 65).

That was their line up for that match. Fair bit better then what they have now id say.

You just think it's crap because liverpool aren't in the FA cup anymore.

boro don't have horrible players as some might suggest - some are certainly premiership material.

e.g: tuncay, downing, pogatetz, o'neil, alves, aliadiere, huth.

porto have not lost to an english team ever at the stade de dragao; and they've hosted all 4 big teams in the last few years...and they won all those games except 1-1 with liverpool 1 year.
