That is why I said the best double does not include the FA Cup. It is such an important double that you decided not even to compete in one of the competitions a few years back.


::) dear oh dear oh dear  ::)

and you were doing so well

Weird, I think you presume I am fishing, which I am not.

I was just backing up my point that United's withdrawal from the competition surely signifies a decreasing attitude towards that competition? What do you think is the best double?

Has to be the Premiership/Champions league double IMO, FA cup comin after that, then league cup..throw in the World Club Championship and that would make an excellent QUINTUPLE, what do you reckon corn?

United had to withdraw in 2000, it wasn't like they just decided one day - screw the FA Cup, lets not enter. In commentary on Saturday they said that in the hours after winning the CL in Moscow Ferguson was going on about the disappointment of losing to Portsmouth in the quarter final last year. So there's no doubt the FA Cup is a major target for most and definitely for United. Liverpools decision to throw it this year has obviously backfired on them.

I dont think this was the case, Liverpool were just beaten by a better everton team on the night.

For the top four, there are two cups that are significant - Premiership and Champions League. The FA Cup is important, but it is not going to be season defining. Carling, Super, World is just all filler.

Would agree Corn but the Last 2 have more importance this year for Utd if they can be part of an historic Quintuple. Very un-important on their own.

Had to withdraw? They could have easily entered a reserve side if they were that keen in going to Brazil. It would have kept the dignity of the cup that year a bit more in tact. They chose the World Club Championships over the FA Cup, simple as.

Liverpool did not throw it. We played full sides and were beaten by a better side over the two games.

Yeah can see where you are coming from.

But say you do  clean up, heaven forbid, as a Liverpool fan I will be gutted you won the treble, the other two would not even register with me.

Yes - entering a reserve side would really have kept the "dignity of the cup" intact that year! Wise up Corn, surely you don't believe that?

I think it would have been better sending a reserve side to Brazil instead of using the World Cup 2006 excuse. So which is more dignifed MS, entering a reserve team or not even entering a team at all?
