1. Don't bother about diddy cups-the league's the thing.

2.It's good rehearsal for when we're in the Champions League.

3.Don't bother about the fans as long as the direct debits keep coming.

4.Anyway our under 20 team is international class and the players would get into any other first team.

5 It's good experience for the youngsters (what losing 4-1 that can't be right)
