League Cup is not worthless for allIn its early days the English League Cup was dismissed by a senior sports journalist as a "mammoth irrelevance" and some would still agree with that assessment. When the competition was first introduced, Alan Hardaker, the Football League secretary, announced somewhat optimistically: "If the FA Cup is football's Ascot, then the League Cup is derby day." Just like the FA Cup, the League Cup provides occasional upsets. Alas, it looks like this season Norwich are heading for the drop without the consolation of a League Cup trophy. Let's hope tomorrow's final is an entertaining game, affirming the League Cup still has a role in English football.
