I remember those 3 finals (the Ipswich one very faintly) but what I remember more is the talk before that infamous semi in 1991 about how it was about time we got to another FA Cup final as it had been so long since we made it. And of course it was to be another 2 years before we did.Babu wrote:It's a "win" that got the Club to a Wembley Final.xisstential wrote:Is there any other club in the world where one win, not a final, not a trophy, just one scrappy win, can just erase more than a dozen, shocking, embarrassing, head in the hands humiliations??

That was one of the most amazing things to happen to "my" Club when I was young.
The fact that I got it three years in a row was too much to believe!
And even in those halcyon times we got fucking humiliated in two of them!
But which one do we remember?
Of course!
So perspective wise ... on one hand, its a shame not to be able to enjoy 3 finals in 4 years ... on the other hand those 13 long years without an FA cup final appearance is the same amount of time we've now had without a title challenge ... and all under the same manager. It is a mammoth amount of time to endure that prick and his mis-manaement.
