Should all PL teams simply mug off all domestic cup competitions?

To clear up a bit of the fixture congestion issues that arise from being successful in, well, the PL?
If you don't bother entering then you don't have to worry about such games when there are far more important matches to be played later on in the season.

All the other PL teams should, leaving us a clear path to win it.

Domestic cups are a lot better than the borefest of the European competitions for me.
They’d be great if they were a straight knock out with no seeding, but obviously as the game is only about money now they are fucking awful.
Each to their own.

Keep the FA cup, don't bother with the other one, whatever it's called nowadays. Maybe make that one an under 21s competition.

A sad day when people are thinking of writing off the FA Cup !
I suppose it all started to go down hill when Man Utd decided not to participate the cnuts....They should have banned them for life after that.

I’m not sure but I thought the cups are obligatory aren’t they? I don’t think PL Cubs can avoid them if they wanted to. I thought that was why reserves play in cups

The League Cup has no prestige these days.
Maybe it should be be restructured to a cup competition featuring the 72 league teams and the three National League divisions.
As for the FA Cup, no way should replays be abolished. On the contrary, I'd prefer them to be reinstated for every round, with the possible exception of the final.

But the media (viewers) demand that one, if not both of the FA Cup finalists always be from the PL Big 6 list, otherwise it's not worth selling advertising for.

I wouldn't have a problem if the League Cup was scrapped and I don't doubt most, if not all, the PL clubs thought the same. Assume it's not that straightforward though.

I just 'enjoy' watching West Ham play, so I don't care how many games we play, just so long as it is roughly the same amount as other teams in Europe.
The more competitions we're in, the more chance of a trophy and I've waited long enough since 1980 to win another one! Gotta be in it to win it apparently.

PL teams will continue to play in any cup competition that provides a route into Europe.

Ha Ha ha... just what I was thinking Miike.... never forget that fishy breath cunt for that team he put out v Sheffield Weds in the Cup... been bigging it up all week ... been advertising it on Budweiser adverts in teh week before the game... so a few of us make the trek to Hillsbrough and he basically shoves out a team of kids... I thought it was impossible to hate that cunt anymore

No, but teams in Europe should not be entered into the League Cup. That would solve everything.
