I've just been a sad anorak and done some analysis of our last 54 years of misery.
1 disastrous Final.
4 semi-finals and 6 quarter finals exits
19 3rd round exits (just over a third)
2 1st round exits (3-1 at Torquay!...Torquay!!)
We've lost to the eventual winners on 14 occasions in that period and the runners up 4 times.
Surprise surprise Man United have knocked us out the most, 6 times, followed by Liverpool 5 and Spurs 4.
It really does make for depressing reading. Time to get "Abide with me" going on the iPod to cheer me up.
