Nah..it's simple:

League
CL
Europa Cup
FA Cup
League Cup
Super Cup
World club

They are the only recognised trophies you can count.

This

To be fair it's pretty meaningless this year. They won't raise a great deal for charities with no fans paying to get in to the ground.
Should either scrap it this year or we should give some of the fringe squad players a run out.
As a trophy I personally think it's insignificant.

Only three trophies are relevant, in my book:

Premier League;
Champions' League;
FA Cup (even that is dwindling).

The rest are, as has been said, certainly 'nice' to win, but I wouldn't be giving it the biggun', as my friend Frank would say.

Year we won Europa was important to me only because it got us into the CL. As a contrast, I don't care if we win it this year, but it would be 'nice' and possibly instill a winning mentality into a few of the players at the club who have yet to win anything.

In that vein - the winning mentality / arrogance that goes with winning - they're all important, I guess

TBH When we reduce down to only the league and CL we really end u being narrow focused and elitist in attitude.

I don't personally like it but klopp does it as he can't compete.

This years league cup has finished it for me. The record holders were treated like dirt due to a fifia mandated commitment. the EFL running it also puts it in context. It could easily be cancelled next season with covid. UEFA would love to force the FA to assign the europa spot to the league as well.

in the normal world there are 4 comps in europe. Domestic league, domestic cup, CL and europa.

theres a uefa slush fun cup and a fifa slush fun cup and both are mandated as competitive trophies by those organisations.

The FA do not mandate the community slush fund shield as a competitive game.

While these are just for kicks and the fat cats having a slush fund but they do have a lot of money for the clubs

Charity shield is a pointless game

Shouldn't bother this year as alluded to above it won't raise much with no fans

Time to get rid and anyone considering it a major trophy. FFS give your head a wobble

You'll be happy you're not playing against us this time around.

Only small time clubs like Man City that consider winning a match that is a officially non-competitive fixture as a trophy.

its all about the fa having a slush fund to throw cash at wobbly clubs and going to lap dancing clubs.

it used to be about charity but imo its now. it all goes into the black hole of the fa accounts.
