Team news: West Brom make two changes to the side that drew with Fulham, Shane Long and James Morrison coming in.

 

Just post the fucking team will you please? Every time I want to know a team, I've got to go and find out what the frigging team was last week first (or wait half an hour for them to post the actual line-up).

Players who get their flag out when they've won something. We get it you're foreign, well done.

The slimmest of pickings compared to last summer.

The impending 2-3 months of weekends without football.

 

I'm with everyone else, looking forward to it. A chance to take the kids out and walk Mrs Bimpy.

I honestly can't wait for the football to end. I think I'd like a full year off tbh. I'd probably end up being successful at something without football/N-O

Haha I sometimes think that. How much better I could be at other stuff if I didn't waste half my life following Newcastle :)

Since Jimmy Scoular lifted the FA Cup in 1955, no fewer than THIRTY-THREE English and Welsh clubs have enjoyed major domestic cup success ahead of us, including these footballing backwaters: Coventry, Southampton, Norwich, Ipswich, Luton, Oxford, Swindon, Swansea, Stoke, Wolves, Leicester, Birmingham, Blackburn, 'Boro, Wimbledon, QPR, Portsmouth, Wigan and of course the mackems.

 

You could also add Burnley and Derby - who have won the League title since our 1927 triumph - to the following list of domestic cup winners since 1955:

 

15 Liverpool (8LC, 7FA)

13 Man Utd (4LC, 9FA)

11 Chelsea (4LC, 7FA)

10 Tottenham (4LC, 6FA)

9 Arsenal (2LC, 7FA)

6 Aston Villa (5LC, 1FA)

5 Nottm For (4LC, 1FA)

5 Man City (2LC, 3FA)

3 Leicester (3LC)

3 Wolves (2LC, 1FA)

3 West Ham (3FA)

3 Everton (3FA)

2 Birmingham (2LC)

2 Norwich (2LC)

2 WBA (1LC, 1FA)

2 Leeds (1LC, 1FA)

1 QPR (1LC)

1 Swindon (1LC)

1 Stoke (1LC)

1 Oxford (1LC)

1 Luton (1LC)

1 Sheff Wed (1LC)

1 Blackburn (1LC)

1 Middlesbrough (1LC)

1 Swansea (1LC)

1 Bolton (1FA)

1 mackems (1FA)

1 Southampton (1FA)

1 Ipswich (1FA)

1 Coventry (1FA)

1 Wimbledon (1FA)

1 Portsmouth (1FA)

1 Wigan Athletic (1FA)

 

There are two other current Premier League sides not to have lifted the League Cup or FA Cup since our last success; Reading and Fulham.

 

Not really a pet hate but :anguish:

Saw that earlier. Fucking disgraceful.

 

How did Keegan's team not manage to even get as far as a semi final man?

 

Not even close, ridiculous ain't it. Gerald Ashby-gate was probably as close as we got and we were well beaten that night IIRC.

 

Thankfully after the Sporting/AZ debacles of years ago I've already resigned myself to us never winning owt.

Absolutely typical that we've played in several semis/finals and not a single one of them was when we were any good.

 

Closest we got was Robson's semi against Marseille and that had been a shit season despite finishing fifth (sound familiar?).
