The Athletic.

So after Manchester United lifted the League Cup yesterday, is this the start of something

big at old Trafford under Eric Tenharg?

Or another false dawn as we saw with other managers that followed the glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson.

And it does feel like Newcastle still has momentum regardless of the fact that the interminable

weight for that trophy goes on.

1969, the last cupboard in general, 1955 the last cup in general
