Makes me a little sick, recent premier League champs, fa cup winners
Smaller club, less resource's than us yet look at the difference.
Doesn't matter who's coaching us or what players we have I'm starting not think, a change in ownership is needed
If the culture isn't right at the top that spreads the club which is why we are potless.

I’ve read 10 comments and decided I’m not gonna bother on SC tonight. Too many toxic, antagonist, self-entitled posters.

see you tomorrow

I think most importantly, the mantra “The Game Is About Glory” really hits home.

I’m fed up of topping the net spend table, or being frugal. Fuck all that.
Give me something to cheer about. Give me something to brag about. Give me something to be ecstatic about, if only it’s for a day or two.

We haven't topped the net spend table for a couple of years now.

The issue doesn't seem to be spending money now, it's how we spend it that's the issue.

I dislike both teams but that save from Schemeichel of mount was amazing. They go on about banks save of the century and the seaman one against sheff Utd. But that save today was much better. Best moment of the match for me.

they can stick their FA Cup. We got NFL and Guns N Roses to look forward to at our gaff.




in all honesty, incredibly jealous as it could well have been us doing what they’re doing. feels like a long way back for us to get close to them at the moment. and do we have the owner/resources? not sure.

but i know a couple of Leicester fans, and I couldn’t be happier for them tbh. doing chelsea in the final makes it a bit more bearable too.

Really pleased for my Leicester supporting friends. As I have said before we had some great times at Filbert Street. Great days out. Good friend wad our landlord at our local, the biggest glare I got from him was when Hoddle scored against them for Swindon in the play off final. I was the only fool in the pob who cheered.

Not sure if was much better than Seaman's but it was right up there and deserves to be remembered.

It is a crime how we haven't replaced Dembele, Eriksen and Vertonghen and Leicester are there with an actual strategy and not blowing the transfer funds or wage structure to fund their replacements.

OK they've won more in the last 5 years than we've won in the last 30 but we've got the better multi-purpose event space so is there that much of a difference between us?:unsure:

Odd?
Our club is over 125 years old, we’ve won the FA Cup 8 times in all that time. You expect us to be angry for the other 117 years we didn’t win it?

You really need to get some perspective.
Problem is we were the first amateur team to win the FA cup in 1901. In the next 60 years we won it once. In the 60's to the 90's we won't it 6 times

Since then we haven't won it again in 30 years our second longest drought in our history

Its worth noting in the worst drought of 40 years, we had a world war, with no football for 6 years and we were in the 2nd division for 13 years

What makes it worse, we have had some amazing teams in that period. This drought of 30 years is unacceptable regardless, whether or not we should be winning it every year
