    answer was to do with them playing home games away from their own grounds.

    Arsenal cannot do it unless Arsene Wenger leaves.
    They will not play any more home games “away”, ie: at
    Wembley - Arsene said so. Man Utd have done it more
    than any other British club. They used to play their
    home games at Maine Road.
    Liverpoool have done it once but not in the usual way.
    Because of some crowd trouble a few years ago, they
    played a home game on a neutral pitch (in Ireland I
    think).
    Everton, Oldham and Charlton have all done it once
    (played home games “away”) but Wimbledon will NEVER do
    it unless Crystal Palace go bankrupt. ie unless
    Wimbledon become owners of Selhurst Park, they will
    always be playing home games on someone else’s ground.

    Aston Villa did it at their first attempt, Chelsea did it in 1970 and Manchester United did it in 1992 - other teams include Spurs, Wolves and Man City. Leeds have never done it, nor have West Ham or Newcastle. No-one can do it this season.

    This question is about clubs completing their set of all three major domestic trophies - league championship, FA Cup and League CupAston Villa were the first winners of the League Cup in 1961, and, having already won both the First Division and FA Cup in their history, became the first team to have all three major domestic pots on their roll of honour. Manchester United had to wait until 1992 to complete their full set, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 to win the Rumbelows Cup. Chelsea had already won the league's two premier competitions when they lifted the FA Cup in 1970 at the expense of a knackered Leeds United.

    Spurs, Wolves and Manchester City have also won all three trophies - the other clubs not mentioned in the question who have achieved this monumental feat are West Brom, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Arsenal, Sheffield Wednesday... and Leeds, who won it in 1968.
