      Yeah, I was shocked at that too, they’ve got 8 vs our 7.

      Though they’ve only won a single league cup since WW2, whereas we’ve won all our trophies between 1968 and 1992.

        I remember Sheffield Wednesday reaching both cup finals when I was younger, though they lost them both to Arsenal. At the time I associated their success with Chris Waddle and their relegation with him getting older. He was a brilliant player, but looking back they had a few internationals in that side:

        Don’t remember Newcastle winning anything either though they had a fantastically entertaining team that lead the league for ages under Keegan (the “I’d love it if we beat them” season)
