Tottenham Hotspur now leads as trophyless club

Newcastle United has finally ended its long wait for a trophy, winning the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. This victory gives them their first trophy in 56 years, a significant moment in English football. Their win against Liverpool at Wembley has shifted attention, asking which club might take on the title of the next "trophyless kings." Tottenham Hotspur is a leading candidate. They have not won a trophy since 2008 when they claimed the League Cup. Despite coming close multiple times, including three League Cup finals and a Champions League final, they have not succeeded. Tottenham may have a chance to win the Europa League this season, which could end their drought. Aston Villa, along with Everton and Leeds United, are also clubs with lengthy waits for silverware. Villa last won a major trophy in 1996, while Everton's last glory was in 1995. Leeds hasn't lifted a silver trophy since becoming English champions in 1992. Villa is poised to possibly win two trophies this season, being in the running for both the FA Cup and the Champions League. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Fulham are all competing in the FA Cup quarter-finals but have never won a major trophy. If one of these teams triumphs, it would mark a historic moment in English football. Other clubs with long stretches without trophies include Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland, while Sheffield United is approaching a century since their last major win in 1925. Meanwhile, 19 clubs outside the top divisions have also won trophies, with Oxford University boasting a victory dating back to 1874. With Newcastle's victory, the focus is on who will become the new subject of pity or laughter in English football for not winning trophies. As the football season continues, the spotlight will be on clubs like Spurs and Villa to see if they can end their own droughts.
