I say it is still a nice cup that as a history since 1971 when it replaced he intercities cup dating from the fifties. The cup is still a 15 kg silver beauty handcrafted in the Bertoni atelier, Milan:-) Winning it would be a welcome extra in this gray season and give us as a team honorous mentioning on our European Palmares. Plus, we would be the team that grabbed two weuropean titles in a row. I also say this cup is definitely not without honorable winners as well! Juve, Inter, Real, Bayern ... Not caring about football history is one thing, acknowledging the cups decline another - as is following the logic of our other more pressing affairs in the PL. I respect that opinion. But hating we are even in it, is quite frankly utterly disrespectful to its history. Also, it oozes hybris. And I mean this in a very Greek way.
