chocco boxo Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Anyone know the last team to play in round 1 and reach Wembley? 0-2 Saints Jaidi both.
toofarnorth Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Good little video on the FA Cup website. Not so much a preview of the game as they say but makes good watching. http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/NewsAndFeatures/2009/bristolrovers_southampton_041109.aspx
sad saints fan Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 (edited) Anyone know the last team to play in round 1 and reach Wembley? 0-2 Saints Jaidi both. Since the foundation of the Football League, Tottenham Hotspur in 1901 have been the only non-league winners of the FA Cup. They were then playing in the Southern League and were only elected to the Football League in 1908. At that time the Football League consisted of only two 18-team divisions; Tottenham's victory would be comparable to a team playing at the third level of the English football pyramid (currently League One) winning today. In the history of the FA Cup, only eight teams who were playing outside of the top level of English football have gone on to win the whole competition, the most recent being West Ham United, who beat Arsenal in 1980. Excluding Tottenham in 1901, these clubs were all playing in the old Second Division, no other Third Division or lower side having so far reached the final. If this is correct and I nicked it from another site ,I should imagine no one has ever done it,since it has been in its present format. Edited 6 November, 2009 by sad saints fan spelling omission

And Saints were int the final the year before and after (1900 & 1902) while in the same division as Spurs.
hamster Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 I think the Royal Engineers did it pre 1900. Some might say they a were the foundation for The Gills, but that is not really true iirc as The Gills started as New Brompton. However, The Royal Engineers DID develop a passing style of playing that we now know as the 'Beautiful Game', before then the game was predominantly a game of dribbling with the ball and shooting at the first opportunity
eurosaint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 I hope that Nineteen Canteen does not watch this clip as big Lawrie has a subtle pop at Rupert early doors ! I'm sure that we would all hate for him to be upset by this ????
Hatch Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Alan Pardew just scored in the FA Cup for Palace v Liverpool over on ITV4

If this is correct and I nicked it from another site ,I should imagine no one has ever done it,since it has been in its present format. The OP asked when was the last time someone played in R1 and reached Wembley. Wembley did not open until 1922 or 23 so Spuds don't count and neither do the Royal Engineers. And don't forget we did it the year before but lost in the Final at Kennington Oval So I think the answer is never...
eurosaint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Saints team: Davis, James, Thomas, Jaldi, Harding, Antonio, Hammond, Schneiderlin, Lallana, Lambert, Connolly. Subs: Bailkowski, Perry, Mills, Wotton, Ndiaye, Holmes, Gobern.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Very good video- think that's the first time I've ever heard Lallana speak!
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Could be 4-5-1 as Connolly could be on the wing, but most likely 4-4-2.
CanadaSaint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 I like the cut of that starting line up. We are going to take a run at them - with plenty of width.
Jonnyboy Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Connolly, Thomas and Antonio all start (Papa dropped) Lambo sounds a bit down about trying to score against his old club...
CanadaSaint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Connolly, Thomas and Antonio all start (Papa dropped) Has he for sure been dropped? I mean, not even on the bench?
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Where is Saga ? On the itchen bridge. No, wait...in the itchen.
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Has he for sure been dropped? I mean, not even on the bench? Dropped from the team he meant.
CanadaSaint Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Dropped from the team he meant. Yeah, but he's not even a named sub. EDIT: Oh, yes he is. He has too many frigging names.
Saint_clark Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 Yeah, but he's not even a named sub. Yes he is. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1868864,00.html
