The Budweiser FA Cup

Does nufc.com really keep a live tally of that stat? ¬_¬

[Cymbols]

I'm sure nufc.com will confirm it in the next few days, but I believe that's now 33 clubs that have won a domestic trophy (the big 3, not JPT etc) since Newcastle last did, including Luton, Wimbledon, Middlesbrough and Sunderland. And Arsenal fans think they've got it bad.

Don't you get a trophy for winning the Championship? That should count for something :/

Nah, its listed in some obscure book about the club and they lifted it a while back. It's the unofficial site by the way, and is a superb website.

Hartlepool just got relegated to League 2 and have never won any trophy in 105 years.

Wigan don't have a nice little Intertoto plaque though.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler: "Last three managers to win FA Cup all called Roberto... Can'to waito to beo ao managero."

Love it.

Who needs a trophy when you've got a Historic Quay?

Who gives a toss who has won the trophy since we last won it, Wigan fans until today didn't have a single trophy in their cabinet and now they do. Maybe in the not so distant future we'll win something else again but it's sheer blind luck who will win a cup in this current state.

And I'd much rather it went to a club like Wigan instead of having the League, FA Cup and League Cup shared between City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Arsenal for the next hundred years.

[Troy Maskell]

So little Wigan beat big bad Manchester City, dominating them and winning on an injury time header from a ginger...

If that's not a sign of the apocalypse I don't know what is

[King Ellis]

It's all well and good winning the FA Cup, but they'll be in League 1 in a few years. :/

[Ant]

Well Done Wigan. Whelan is still a fucking bellend though.

Please lose/draw on Tuesday.

The point is that these cups are winnable, and yet we typically put out a shit team and tumble out in the early rounds. Frankly I want my Wembley trip, and when my Bingley based uncle is about to pop down for his second this season that's a depressing stat. Cups aren't the be all and end all, and I'll keep watching middling league season after middling league season (am I bollocks giving up my ace seat), but just once it'd be nice to get a turn.

As much as I would love to doubt this *looks at Wolves*

[King Ellis]

Well, I was more directly referencing Portsmouth.

Don't forget to cancel that bus, Mancini.

To be fair, Wolves where a mess in the PL. Sacking McCarthy and giving the job to some bloke who'd never managed a club before was the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

[Sam]

Wigan are well managed so you cant really draw a comparison between them and Wolves and Pompey.

[Gazz]

'Hello, that bus I ordered, can it take me to Manchester airport to meet a connecting flight to Ancona?'

[Cheeky Hughes]

Hughesy is there, crying in the rain.

Actually was. What a shit birthday.
