League Cup Is A Bonus

I want us to win tomorrow. I want us to lift as many trophies as we possibly can this season. I want the younger players in our squad to get a taste of success like they did in 2006, following the barren year of 2005. I want Tevez to score. I want Welbeck to score. I want Nani to have a good game. I want Gibson to prove me wrong. I want Foster to play a blinder.

Essentially though, I want to keep the Premiership crown in Manchester, I want us to have a really good crack at the Champions League, and I fancy a return visit to Wembley in the FA Cup. Those are the things I really want, the things that are in the back of my head when I’m walking to the ground on the match day or sat in the boozer having a footie discussion with the lads.

I’d rather win the League Cup than lose it and now we’re in the final, of course I’d be disappointed to see us lose. But we’re not going to lose any sleep over it. The manager agrees.

“The League Cup is a bonus,” said Ferguson. “We did not plan to be in the final, that is why we played young players from the start. We thought we would get a good run to the quarters or semis and see what they are made of. But they progressed well and we got home draws, which always helps.”

How much do you want it?

    Yep, completely agree.

    League > CL > FA Cup > League Cup.

    Personally i want a win, i know people will say its not important but when you are in a final (any final) you go to win it and i hope we do

    SAF has put his faith in the team that carried us this far thus making this game something like a summer tournament final:you want to win but mist of all you want to see the youngsters under pressure.I want the trophy you guys because i still have hopes for the quadruple or at least for a domestic treble.I remember in 2003 where we lost the final and i think SAF said that he preferrd to win against Leeds 3 days later.I will say the same.Above all,we have to win at St James’ so that the Chelsea and Lverpool stop hoping for good.

    I disagree with sir alex here – i think we have to go for it. After the dissapointing result in the san siro where we absolutely dominated Inter, if we don’t beat the yids it could be a huge morale crusher (as we’ll surely dominate tomorrow too.) Remember when we beat arsenal 4-0 last year in the FA cup? It turned out to be the turning point in their season where they handed us the title. I don’t want to see the same happen to us!
    That said i’d still be giving the youngsters a chance though. I might be inclined to be playing a slightly stronger side than the one that beat Derby, maybe play Rooney to get him sharp for Inter again!

    I really want us to win. Losing in any final is a bitter pill to swallow, No matter what sort of cup it is, a final is a final. Not to mention success breeds success. I really really want our youngsters to taste the incredible feeling that comes with winning a final. I’m sure we’ll be fine. Nemanja will pick the trophy up, if not Rooney!

    Yeah want the lads to win the final tomorrow but by the same token I wont be too gutted if we lose. As someone else has mentioned though a win will be important to keep the momentum going and confidence high. It will not be easy tommorow but reckon we will beat the yids in 90 minutes.

    League>Champions league> FA Cup> Carling.

    I want it all , but I know its almost impossible. After reaching the final , I surely want to win it. A loss here wouldn’t hurt as much as the league or the Champions League but I’d be utterly dissapointed to lose in the final that to against that Arry!
