Footie Trivia Question of the Week
The fourth round of the Carling Cup comes up this week (sadly, no Leeds-ManYoo fixture - sigh), so here's a fitting footie trivia question for you:
"What are all the names that the Football League Cup has gone under since its founding in 1961?"
Good luck, lads!

The CRAP-NONE OF THE BIG BOYS CARE ABOUT BUT STILL WIN- CUP
You've almost got it but you've missed one. To review:
Football League Cup (1961-81)
Milk Cup (1981-2/85-6)
Littlewoods Cup (86-7/89-90)
Coca Cola Cup (92-3/97-8)
Worthington Cup (98-9/2002-3)
Carling Cup (2003 to the present)
So the question is - what was the League Cup called in 1986-7 and 89-90. Particularly tough since these are what Gooner and I like to think of as "the wilderness years" between the time that we left the UK for college and the time that footie on telly caught on in the U.S. after the success of the U.S. in 94 and the launch of MLS in 96. Give it a go, though, won't you?
P.S. Just for the cynicism of the last answer, go on you Shrimpers!
I remembered... THE RUMBELOWS CUP.
Take your PS and shove it up your left nostril!!!
Well done! And.....
Up the Shrimpers!
The Chance to get Jeremie Aliadiere a game Cup!
Before you ship him back to Ligue Un Cup...
That's if he's good. If he starts whining, off to Elland Road with him.
