	League Cup History
		It was in the third year of the League Cup that Fulham eventually won a tie, at home to Third Division Bournemouth, but in four of the first five seasons, they went out very early on to teams from a lower level.
		The League Cup form mirrored the falling away in the League but, in 1981-2, when Macdonald's young side was setting the pace in Division Three, they also showed their quality in the League Cup.
		The League Cup in all its manifestations has not been a competition in which the Cottagers have distinguished themselves, despite the fact that it has usually been kinder to smaller clubs than the FA Cup.

	tribalfootball.com - A spectacular Japanese League Cup final
		So the 2006 League Cup Final was a hit, but given the history of knock-out Cup football in Japan, that hardly comes as a surprise.
		While the Emperor's Cup has undoubtedly lost some of its lustre since the advent of the J-League - with professional clubs routinely crushing their amateur university and company team counterparts, there is no doubt that the traditional final held on New Year's Day is a landmark occasion on Japan's sporting calender.
		After the colour of the recent League Cup final, however, Japanese fans still have plenty of Emperor's Cup action to look forward to, while a number of J-League clubs will be hoping that a decent Cup run can make up for another season of missed opportunities in the J-League.
