Just seen replay of "offside" goal - sorry, but definitely onside for me. Lines on pitch show it for me.

Nah that would totally devalue the whole thing...I understand (kinda) where you're coming from, but if you're there on merit, you're there on merit. You can't say "CL is for the top 4 teams with an average attendance above 35,000"
I read somewhere (think it was on Teletext, or rather, BBCi) before that West Ham's board are considering suing the old owners over the transfers of the Argies. Dunno why mind you.

. Have no idea what this is btw, seems to be a final, tried reading up on it on Wiki but I still have no idea. Abit confused with this system.

Fair effort from Arbuckle just then.

It's the League Cup Final. basically, in England we have the FA Cup which is the (supposedly) prestigious one, and the League Cup, which was originally only for Football League clubs, though as is evident by the big boys playing today, that is no longer the case.3am with nothing better to do tbh
Fact of the day - Tranmere played in the last League Cup final at Wembley. What a day.
pasag, what do you mean, you're confused by this sysem?

TBF there was no Premiership back in the day, so all the quote-unquote big clubs were League teams then.

I dunno, in AFL there is just the normal season then the finals and that's it. Whereas this has an FA cup and a League Cup and I'm trying to figure out how they relate.
Feel sorry for Brumby here tbh.

Ah right.
Well you have the leagues (Premiership, Championship, League One (this is the best one), League Two, and then non-league, which goes way down), which are just that, with no finals or anything, and as such the winners are, in my opinion, deserved winners.
Then there's the FA Cup, which the oldest cup competition in football. It starts in August I think, with the preliminary rounds (village teams, teams from the police etc), after the prelims there are four qualifying rounds for non-league teams. Then at round one the lower-league teams join, and at round three the big boys join. It's straight knockout, with a replay if there's a draw, up to the semis, which are played on neutral territory, and the final, which is at Wembley when it exists. basically the FA Cup Final is English football's showpiece event, like the AFL Grand Final is, but it's for a different competition.
The League Cup is basically the same but without the preliminary/qualifying rounds, as only the top 92 can enter, and bigger teams tend to play fringe players in this, as it's a lesser competition.
Hope this makes sense.

Key difference being that the AFL is a closed shop, thus it's no need to crown more than one champion: in English football (and in most other football leagues) clubs have the opportunity to "promote" if they finish in a good position in the lower leagues.
The FA Cup is thus a competition where every team (subject to some kind of standards to ensure your average team of 45-plus inbred punters doesn't turn up) plays, in case a good team should suddenly turn up from out of the blue; the League Cup is only for teams from the four top leagues.
