Itās not silverware- itās as much a piece of silverware as the Asia Cup. Itās just a friendly.
Anything thatās one up on our closest competition going into the new season is worth having IMO. Plus it will give the players a bit more confidence getting the win.
Even though itās not a prestigious competition, every year teams are fielding virtually their strongest line up for it.
The year we cleaned up and ended up with 5 bits of silverware, everyone was more than happy including the Community Shield and Super Cup then and I expect the people saying itās a waste of time will be more than happy to include them again if we get a haul next season.
Whether you are bothered or not, it makes no difference to me but I want us to be getting one up on City straight away and do you think the players arenāt going to give a damn? They will battle City all the way to try and get the win.
Iām fully aware itās nothing special to win but a win is a win and ultimately it is something to play for that you can only play if you win the FA Cup or finish top 2, so itās not something thatās happened often for the last decade. If we lose then we lose, not going to cry about it. Think itād be good to get a little bonus as the season starts, thatās all, Iām hardly saying itās something as great as the League or CL so chill
I canāt believe people are making a fuss over wanting to get one up on City a week before the season actually starts...
