...only the 8th Manager to win all 3 domestic trophies (League title, FA Cup and League Cup) in English football later today. Can you name the seven who have already achieved this feat? Not necessarily at the same club, and this goes back before the Prem.
Don't Google, just think and chuck your answers in. There is no prize.

    Fergie, obviously.
    Paisley?
    Ranieri?
    Dalglish?
    Graham?
    Mourinho?
    Shankly?

    That’s my seven guesses. Am I close?

    Is one of them not Wenger? Find it hard to believe he's not won the League Cup...

    Paisley only took Liverpool to one FA Cup Final in the season 1976/77 (@Callumcafc see football too) and lost that to Utd.
    Ranieri only ( and I don't mean "only") won the League with Leicester, nothing else.
    Shankly never won the League Cup

    Dalglish, Mourinho and George Graham are correct.

    Well yeah I suppose. My first guess was going to be Wenger.

    Yes Revie.

    So we have as 5 correct answers:
    Fergie
    Revie
    Dalglish
    Mouriniho
    Graham

    Two more to go.

    Hmm...I’ve got a feeling the missing ones might be a bit old school. When did the league cup start? Mid sixties?
    How about Matt Busby?
    Bill Nicholson?

    Did Clough ever win the FA Cup? I’m pretty sure he won the league cup with Forest.

    So, is Joe Mercer confirmed as correct?
    I’m assuming so - to be honest, I don’t think I’d have got Mercer if you hadn’t mentioned him - I’d completely forgotten about him. He was before my time though!
    Quite pleased to have got 6 out of 7!

    Good quiz @Riviera !

    Yes sorry I've been at work. Joe Mercer is the missing answer. Good luck Arsene, hope he becomes the 8th.

    Lovely finish by Aguero. Arsenal had a chance to take the lead through Aubameyang early on.

    Unlikely now, 3-0 to Man City.

    No doubt Whinger will complain about refereeing decisions contributing to the first two goals - foul by Aguero on the centre-half, offside on the second goal - but really he should be bollocking his team for criminal defending ... again.

    Gary Neville certainly not sitting on the fence about how shite Arsenal are! :smiley:
