I'm just fishing for reasons/excuses as to why we've underperformed in the domestic cups to be honest. As it is, because we went so well in the league last season nobody is really too bothered about the fact we haven't won anything for three seasons and fair enough. If though for instance next season Chelsea find their feet again and we finsih third, ten points back and still win nothing, then people will begin to look at it again I reckon.
The good thing with winning a domestic cup here and there is that it keeps the whole thing ticking over. Once again I'm stressing that the Premiership is THE holy grail, but if we go all out for it for three more seasons and don't win either it or anything else, Rafa would in the fullness of time be considered an abject failure by many. No trophies in six seasons would be a hardrecord to defend. Win the Carling Cup or the FA Cup or something and at least we avoid all that.
