      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.

      Not far behind Newcastle to be fair, and won a proper trophy much more recently

        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)

      No one’s left alive from those days, but those days still exist!
