.....23 times the FA Cup has been won by the big boys with their reserves who earn £40k a week.
Wigan 6 years ago, Pompey when they sneaked past us 11 years back, and Everton in 95, the only upsets. 
Read into that what you will, but think it explains why half the side at the end were still yet to shave.

It would be pretty good fun to be the next non “big boy” to win it

Maybe no one wins it because they're all playing their reserves...

It would, but the club didn’t care. I find it really annoying that we blew a great chance through pure apathy.

Do you just read what other people say and start the same threads, only using more words?

Just seen what you posted now, which was at most a couple of minutes before me as there was heaps of posts going on post match.Easy mistake as it was buried in the bottom of the 2nd page. I congratulate you if it makes you happy and perhaps you can get copyright.

How many non top 6 teams in that period had a great day out in the final?

Worth adding that Pompey had a wage bill on a par with some of the top 4 after ‘Arry was given a free role with the chequebook and Wigan got relegated and have been in League One since.

Granted the day out would be great, but it doesn’t usually end well for clubs of our size!

Josh and co have won the argument so this post is not relevant.
