We haven't had "a dont give a f**k attitude to cups"!

On the contrary we've nearly always fielded full strength sides. We simply haven't been good enough!

        As it was mostly reserves,the extra 30 mins playing time would've done them good. (n/m) (NCFC) - Big Jim, Aug 25, 11:12:38
    - *Touch paper lit* (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 25, 10:46:01

    - Oh i do love a good ol' defeatist attitute. Cup shocks never happen then eh? (NCFC) - Big Jim, Aug 25, 10:39:15
      - That the cups are largely irrelevant is a different argument though (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 25, 11:03:32
        
        No, because our own fans are belittling the only competition we've ever won. (NCFC) - Big Jim, Aug 25, 11:07:23
        
        we've won the hospital cup a fair number of times (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Aug 25, 11:11:25
  - Personally I think our attitude and performances in cup competitions over the past (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 10:10:16
    - We simply haven't been good enough over most of that period (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 25, 10:27:49
      - Have Millwall or Cardiff, or even Barnsley? (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 10:50:09
        
        Yes these team have had so much to shout about in the league! (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 11:11:01
        
        Yeah caus eopur league sucess is unparallelled in the past 15 years (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:12:36
        
        I bet most of those teams fans would have of rather been up to the prem (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 10:57:32
        
        Yeah cause its great going up to the prem, getting dicked every week (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 10:59:51
        
        being in the prem needs to be the clubs goal. (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 11:07:06
        
        We haven't had "a dont give a fuck attitude to cups"! (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 25, 10:57:08
        
        How come teams we would comfortably beat in the league we lose to in early rounds of the (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 10:58:55
        
        Could be that we were shit on the night; could be that they raised their game. (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 25, 11:27:32
        
        This started because I was making the point that our cup form in the past 15 (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:29:26
        
        as i don't in any way follow any of those 3 clubs you mentioned (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Aug 25, 10:55:01
        
        So the attitude should be play the shit teams, but as soon as we play a good team give up? (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 10:56:13
        
        is slightly special^^^ (n/m) (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 11:07:57

        lets open your mind up a bit (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 11:14:39
        
        Oh and btw mind expander, being in the Prem last time set us back years (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:22:32
        
        we would prob earn say £1m extra from a decent cup run but £40m from being in the prem (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 11:25:01
        
        Just saying that why do you write off cups but think a trip to the prem is amazing? (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:27:02

        Yeah! Let's go back to the 70s & 80s. I'm going to tie a scarf around my wrist... (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 25, 11:22:41
        
        COming from the man who spends half his time moaning about goal music etc (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:24:23
        
        The two aren't mutually exclusive. (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 25, 11:29:19
        
        But going to football in the 80s and beating someone up is? (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:31:01
        
        Eh? I think you've confused yourself. (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 25, 11:33:07
        
        I think you are confused. (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:34:36
        
        Oh. Ok. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 25, 11:38:10

        Cardiff in getting to the Final of the FA Cup (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 25, 10:54:11
        
        Millwall's route (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 25, 10:56:33
        
        Yes but they had to beat at least one team of higher stature to make the final (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:00:32
        
        Only team who actually had to play two decent sides was Barnsley (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 25, 10:59:39
        
        Who beat TWO sides of higher stature, something we havent even done once since 1995. (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 25, 11:01:25
    - Yeah, we were trying to work out when we last beat a club from a higher level, Bolton... (NCFC) - Big Jim, Aug 25, 10:26:39
    - would rather exit the league cup early and save our players for pushing (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Aug 25, 10:20:11
