Chicken With A Banjo Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 fine if you believe it but rarely seen a more depressing post on here. and that's saying something. I can imagine it would be depressing for someone who has invested a lot of emotional energy into deluding themselves that a day out and a piece of silverware is a fantastic achievement. However, it is clearly a delusion. The facts are clear, it's just a few wins strung together against mainly second rate opposition. To suggest that Wigans victory in the cup last season is a more impressive achievement then an 8th place finish in the top league, 38 relentless hard fought games, played over the course of a whole season for huge rewards, is in my eyes a massive insult to the team.

IFHP Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 Cups are second rate competitions. Portsmouth's route to the 2008 FA cup final Ipswich Plymouth Preston Manchester United West Brom Cardiff Southampton's route to 1976 FA cup final Villa Blackpool West Brom Bradford Crystal Palace Manchester United Wigan's route to the 2013 FA cup final Bournemouth Macclesfield Huddersfield Everton Milwall Manchester City Piece of silverware, big deal. Great day out for a few braindead morons. 8th in the premier league is a far more impressive achievement. When was the last time Saints reached the FA Cup final and when was the last time Saints finished 8th in the premier league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 16 February, 2014 Share Posted 16 February, 2014 My itk club insiders are saying that all the other clubs had gentlemen's agreement that had we won they'd have let us win the cup. Damn we were so close.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
