This week's events will show you that even 'After God Me' understands CSA prioritising.

I like to try for a good run in cups for the revenue as much as anything as league gate money doesn't get you far at this level, but if I have a key league fixture coming up and I'm in with a shout of promotion I have to put that first.

Who transposed my 1 and 2 keys midway through that post? Own up.

In lower divisions, I usual use reserves or u19s in cup matches. There is no point in injuring regulars due to something I can't win. The title I mean. Not the match.

this was the reaction i was expecting from iajafer </BLOCKQUOTE>

At least quote the whole post I've very definite, realistic, reasons for not concentrating on Cup games when there's a League to win.

Ask Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson, Graham Souness, Martin O'Neill, ALL the Serie A Managers...etc...etc...etc...

None of whom have managed at in the Conference.

Oh, wait a second, Mr.O'Neill has. In 92/93, he led Wycombe to the Conference/FA Trophy double by playing his best team at all times.

I think that's a fair definition of realism for LL managers.

Don't argue with me. I am the Law. I am the Truth. I am LLM. What I say goes.

Who gives a flying f*ck what level those to55ers have managed at, I only mention them because I don't know any Conference managers (an quite frankly don't care).

My reasons for my opinion on Cups are valid.

Cups suck ass. Period.

Only losers who have no confidence in their ability or the ability of their Team go cap-in-hand to the Cups for a handout...looking for the Holy Grail of the away tie at Old Trafford to tide them over for another year in the Conference

Think big...think promotion.

...or run away and hide behind "I got £60k for losing to Sunderland in the 3rd round" :p

Ian, aren't you getting a little bit too attached to this whole cups suck ass thing?

Nice Judge Dredd quote about being the law though!

Judge Dredd's a pussycat

Should i not mention the player naming in his post before that then?
