Greenhgate Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 All the madness what's happened with cup shocks made me wonder Was our league cup final win over man u a cup shock or expected ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A shock..... but its fair to say it was a bigger shock for the rest of the country, than it was for Owls fans. we knew we were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In those days the gulf between the top tier and the rest was not as vast and we were a top second tier team. Not a massive shock but we were underdogs. It has always been quite rare for trophies not to be won by top flight teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive shock but we were underdogs. It has always been quite rare for trophies not to be won by top flight teams Yet even now, almost a quarter of a century later when it seems that most top tier clubs can't be arsed with the cups and put out weakened sides, we're still the last club from outside the top flight to win either the FA or League cup.

The Dukeries Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Please god a team from outside the top flight doesn't win the League cup this year. I just couldn't bear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Not sure it is quite "can't be arsed" but that they think they can win certain matches with rotated teams and if they lose, c'est la vie. they are not taking it as seriously as they might. Some clubs come a cropper with this approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In the 1991 League Cup Final Wednesday were 7/2 to win the game so we went into it being comfortable underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
