Oh gawd were mentioning Barnet and dagenham as proper teams to make it look better ... Qpr won a league cup in not to far away times , and lets not bring Fulham into it they got to a European cup final few years back . What gh says is correct bar that orient have surpassed us
We are due a run, but you need a lot of luck with the draw and the fact that we will probably play a weakened team - a lot will depend on the approach of our opponents. I must admit the Cup has lost the magic it used to have - I'd rather watch a league game now where as I would look forward to an FA cup game for weeks in years gone by.
Agreed Muttley. And what makes it worse is that more and more with each passing year there are pundits, broadcasters etc saying things like "It is still special, isn't it?"
Up until about 10 years ago it wasn't even a question that needed asking.
Hopefully something can be done to bring back the magic of the cup. For a start theyc ould put the final on a day with no other games and not make it a 3 o'clock kick off on a Saturday ffs!
As a kid I used to love the magic of the cup, now I really don't care about it, as its a loaded competition, even if we went on a run and got our hopes up and drew an Arsenal or Chelsea , they'd put a reserve team out and they'd still stuff us.
i'd love it if we had a good run, i'm really fed up with our abysmal record and performances. surely there's still magic in the cup, well fa cup at least?
