"We're on our way to Cardiff!!!!"

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! League Cup Final here we come!! What a performance, excellent game. Murphys first was goal of the match, Fowler had a brilliant match and great to see him score at the end he deserved it. Credit to Palace to get this far and give us a rocky first leg, but we thoroughly decerved to go through.
Look forward to meeting Birmingham or Ipswich in the final. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!

Don't give a rats left testicle if its league, F.A or premiership mate - its a trophy. Its another honour to the list and its also a backup into europe if things go wrong in the league.
And hey, next year - it could well be the champions league me and the other Liverpool fans are celebrating :-)

And you might laugh, but look at how Leeds have done. Plus we've beaten the 3 English teams in the champions league and we have a good squad, so i don't see why we can't do very well in the CL.

Makes me laugh how people slate the league cup - always changes once their in the final themselves. And just think, it was being eliminated from that cup that stopped United achieving the Quad rather than the treble.
Given the choice i know which of the 2 i'd rather achieve.

Savatt, your on the way to win the LEAGUE CUP not the Champions league.

Dammit - I should have known that!! Been trying to work it out for ages!!

An ARSEnal fan no10 ? Got something to say to ya......

Answer to the 1987 Littlewoods cup final question :

It was the first time that Liverpool had lost ANY match in which Ian Rush had scored.

A wretched season ?. I suppose by our own high standards you could be right. However, we are still very much in contention for a Champions League spot. We are still in the FA Cup and, who knows, maybe Tony Adams will be holding the Champions League trophy aloft in the San Siro in May.

If Arsenal win the CL it will be a great season. If we win the FA cup and qualify for next seasons CL it will be a good season. If we just qualify for the CL next season without winning any silverware then it will be just about OK. We may have lost sight of Manure in championship race but there is still everything to play for.

I can't believe that no Liverpool fan knows the answer to the question from earlier today. Call yourselves fans ?.

Ho ho! Do I detect a bit of jealousy Mr no 10? Just because Arsenal are having such a wretched season, there's no need for sour grapes, is there?

Correction to previous post :

The question relates to the 1987 Littlewoods cup final (Liverpool v Arsenal) not the 1997 cup final as posted.

Arsenal lost 3-2 to Luton in 1988 and it was the Littlewoods cup final. It was a strange game (Winterburn missed a second half penalty which would have put Arsenal 3-1 up). Luton then equalised and Brain Stein scored a last minute winner. (Yes I am a football anorak).

The previous season Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Littlewoods cup final. Rush put Liverpool ahead but Arsenal went on to win with two goals from Charlie Nicholas. That was George Grahams first trophy for Arsenal.

That 1997 Littlewoods cup final famous for breaking an incredible goalscoring record - does anyone know the details ?.

I will post the answer tonight.

Didn't Arsenal once lose to Luton in the League Cup Final, back in the days when it was the Milk Cup!

In recent years this cup has gone into decline a little. Even the promise of a European place hasn't drawn anyone to it. When was the last time 4 Premier League teams reached the semi-finals?

Still I guess it is better than winning nothing, but as a Man Utd fan, I wouldn't know much about that....
