How long, realistically, did people think it would take to win the first trophy of the Saudi era?

Day we got taken over - 3 years. Day we had the PL dump a load of extra rules to counter us - 8 years.

Same-ish.

 

I thought 3-5 years when they took over.

When the Premier League started enforcing PSR and creating new rules, I thought it would be 10 years.

In all honesty I thought that the League Cup was a cup that we should be looking to win, but would always face a difficult fixture somewhere along the lines. I thought our best hope for a cup would have came through the FA Cup, or the Europa League/Conference League.

I still can’t believe we have. 
 

😂

But, but, but, 1993, 2010, 2017. You can only win the competition you’re playing in 🤷‍♂️

 

Spoiler

Yes, Matty, I am stalking you.

Still find it absolutely mental to think we've won something.

 

My first season having a season ticket, was 1969/1970, I had only been able to afford occasional matches, as a young-un, before that.

 

My first season (69/70) was the season AFTER we had just won the Fairs Cup - so some people actually called me a "Glory Hunter" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not sure how well the glory hunter tag worked out for me though???

The long game glory hunters, the worst kind 🤣

 

Still so happy it happened for us all in N-O.

apart from the final my favourite game this season was our second leg 2-0 win over Arsenal

 

just the way we setup and played, aggressively going man for man with Botman in the team alongside Schar and Burn which surprised everyone

 

as well as doing it on a big occasion, evening game where atmosphere seemed immense 

 

winning the cup makes looking back at the semi final even more special and meaningful now 

 

also so glad Botman got to play an important role by putting in a full 90 in both legs 

 

and this same Arsenal team could win the CL, making it even more impressive

All the build up to it was people saying if Arsenal score early then it’s game on and they could overcome the 2 goal deficit, I had a quite confidence that we would score at some point and put the game beyond them.
