The charity shield is between FA cup winners and premiership winners right? So what if one team wins both?

why change it from charity to community? are the profits given to a community rather than a charity?

Definitely Maybe

Its all about sponsers. Carling sponser the League Cup, so it becomes the Carling Cup.

Coca Cola cup was by far the best.

The non FA cup is also known as The League Cup.
I think this one was the milk cup for a while. Sponsored by the milk companies to encourage people to be healthy or something.

For absolutely ages the league cup was called the milk cup. I loved the idea of a big trophy full of milk when I was a kid!
Lovejoy!

The Milk Cup is a youth tournament which can be seen on MUTV :)

How about the Rumbellows Cup :D
