    Friday Quiz

    Right....with us almost in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup as was, obvs) with 'only' Newport to get past, this Friday's quiz is simple:

    Name every team to compete in a League Cup final since 1990. Extra points for naming teams before that who took part in the final since we last did in 1976. Quite the list when you consider our inability to get to the final compared with some of the teams who have.

    and....go.

    Good stuff so far.

    Think of the more left-field ones, too....they really highlight how sorry our efforts have been.

    No worries, man...I just remember a Blackburn/Spurs final being on straight after the mackems game. I'd watched it in the Lonsdale and was as drunk as a Lord after our win so my memory is a bit....hazy.
