Mebbe just me, but taking piss out of what is some of our best performances ever, in terms of winning and final appearances doesn't sit well, especially as we've won cock all else of note

At one point we were best ever performers in this cup. Dont shit on your own door step??? 

 

But that was when it was a proper, lower division cup. Now its just a meaningless way of getting a runout for the Prem u21s against first team footballers. No more meaningful than preseason friendlies now.

Still annoyed they allowed youth teams into the tournament. Completely discredits the tournament and disrespects the actual teams in it. If you want ‘mens’ football for your youth, loan them out or play them your damn self. Don’t dump them into ‘lesser’ cup competitions that don’t have your precious big 6. 
 

I’m actually in a really good mood but needed to get that out.

We still are I believe. It’s a fine competition.

If we did ever upgrade to Cat 1 academy status, would our U21s have to enter this nonsense?

Oh come on... How funny would it be if our youth team beat Rovers 1st team in a cup competition..?!

This is a poor relation to the LDC, FRT, JPT etc.

The fact I have such fond memories of the competition is exactly why I hate the “condescending to the lower leagues”/“bootlicking to the Premier League” mess it has become. 
 

The fans of clubs in League One and Two deserve so much better than being dragged into a training exercise for Premier League youth teams.

Especially when the EPPP / Premier League 2 (u23) was supposed to be the way forward for PL Club youngsters.

I would rather we win the Tinpot Cup than the Welsh Cup ! (That win needs to be deleted from our “Honours” List) ?

Pretty sobering, 7 games in , Sheffield United who are one season down top and then the three relegated teams already make up the top four ?

Parachute payments are making football a joke 

I still think it’s gonna be a closer league this year though.

On gas chat a few years ago, one of them posted he dreaded City taking part in case our reserves and youths thrashed their first team. ?

But the fact remains with these Prem clubs competing, eventually the final will be between the U21 sides from two Prem  clubs.
