The EDP has a feature on our Milk Cup triumph - however...
I think I've wanted to say this for some time and I'm now glad to get it off my chest: I do wish they'd refer to it as the League Cup.
Does the sponsorship really matter? Will big milk come after us if we don't refer to the competition by its official title at the time?
I also don't really like that there was a different trophy. What's all that about?
Happy 40th birthday to our League Cup win, when we won the League Cup.
