It's Hard To Accepting Defeat In Various Walks Of Life

I’m surprised to find someone so ignorant of the true place of THE FA CUP in English football history, unless of course you are of school age.
Pre Premier League THE FA CUP (agreed the League Cup is inferior) was THE Cup the fans wanted to win. The League was the bread and butter for the players. THE CUP was the glamour competition. A day at Wembley, hard to do in those days and the only club football live on TV, here and around the World.
I tell my kids born in the 80’s when we had 40,000+ for a Wednesday night 3rd Round Cup Replay v Colchester (reckon we’d get 10,000 now.) The next home Division 1 game a local derby v Coventry we had less than 30,000. THE CUP was what all the fans loved not just me. Check out which competition produced Molineux’s largest ever attendance.
May 18th 1968 was the happiest day of my then 14 years. Thank you for this opportunity to remember it again

Made me chuckle and they still love to say a side that In one decade won the FA cup the League three times all but once finished in the top three, were part of the reason for the creation of The European Cup couldn't play football!!
