Forum Comp Day 2, Tuesday. Another football double-header.

Morning all.

Yesterday's double header went rather well I thought, & we had plenty of winners, which certainly helped.

So we will try it again today, & our featured game is Portsmouth v Birmingham City in the EFL Cup.

The EFL Cup used to be known as the League Cup, these days it is sponsored by Caraboa. I had to google Caraboa this morning to find out what it is, so as sponsorships go, I'm not sure it works.

At one time it was called "The Milk Cup", as the Milk Marketing Board sponsored it. I always thought the Egg Marketing Board missed a trick there, the "Egg Cup" would have been the best name ever.

Here's a grand photo of the League Cup winners from the early eighties, when Liverpool won it 4 years on the bounce. Those were the days when shorts really were shorts. Amazingly, even now, some 35 years on, most of us can name half of these players who remain household names to this day. It was, to be fair, much easier to win in those days - even Leeds United won it once, in 1961, as I recall.
