| 45. @big miss sunshine. I think given that the 'top 4' didn't exist until 2003 when Abromovich bought Chelsea, that criticism is a little harsh. If the 'top 4' were Forest, Tottenham, Leicester and Villa the effect would be much the same. I'd say there's a good variety of winners of that cup since '61. Even in the last seven years you've had Blackburn, Spurs, and 'Boro breaking up the 'top 4' monopoly which persists in the league. I get your criticism, especially in the Premier League, but I don't think it really applies to this cup. |
