The FA Cup.

It would be quite amusing if Man U won fuck all while Everton won the cup in their first Moyes-free season.

And finished above them.

You could argue it started dying when the F.A decided earning money from it was more important than tradition.

Tradition doesn't pay the rent.....or garner large TV deals. Very unfortunate but that is the reality

Tradition doesn't pay the rent.....

You mean pay for an vastly overpriced national stadium?

The same fans who thought the Bolton 2000 semi was "easy" were the same fans that thought Bradford was a bye to the final.

I still wake up with sweats thinking Holdsworth hadn't skied it!

The Bradford draw should have been as good as a bye.  And I think we'd have had a good chance of beating Swansea in the Final.

It's not often you get as good a shot a trophy.

I looked at that as well Leeg.
Trying to find something decent for Sir Brian to sign when I see him in March...

Return of the Little Villan or some of the photos in Weir and Wonderful would be good to get signed.

Great buy Legion. Well done.
I am still crying that we got knocked out ...by a third division team this season.
