Flash in the pan. Losing to Poland ...
Alf Ramsey picked players to fit his system and won the World Cup with them.
It's not a Mickey mouse cup though is it? It's one of two cups that 18 out of 20 clubs in the league can realistically attempt to win. It's a route into europe. Its silverware. Give me cup finals any day over a bloody 6th place finish,
So we won what exactly from reaching the final? Yep, fuck all.

It wasn't, but now it is. Wolves playing a team half of whom the Wolves fans by me couldn't name. Liverpool playing the kids. Us counting that as a good cup run, to just turn up and be also rans against the joke that is Man City (joke because they have been let off their punishment because they have deeper pockets than the league so have better lawyers and the fact they are funded by a country)
Arrrgghhhh. Modern £ootball.
Liverpool had another game two days later on another continent and Wolves had about 15 players spread across 5 competitions.
You've focused on far too many positives there. Brace yourself for the inevitable backlashLiverpool had another game two days later on another continent and Wolves had about 15 players spread across 5 competitions. Teams might rotate players out for the early rounds for one reason or another, doesnt mean it's not a respected cup to win. I certainly wont complain if we get to the final again next season. We weren't also rans, it was a tight game, we gave them a go. Four or five better quality players and we could easily have won it and be facing european football this season.
Our last loss was 5 games agoThere is no backlash, some of you think losing is progress, winners don't.
This is starting to look like the relegation thread, 'we only stayed up because of others, Arsenal were shite thats why we won, West Ham were on the beach etc etc'.
You can only play who's in front of you. Regardless of whether those things are true or not we had to show up and do the job.

Show me a club that keeps sacking managers and I'll show you WatfordWhich has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation, which was the cup run!
I'm not disappointed when we aren't losing btw, winning is what I expect of us, that is the whole point.
Show me a happy loser, I'll show you a loser is a great saying!
Show me a club that keeps sacking managers and I'll show you Watford
