KivoOwl Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thinking over the years how many teams we've had to sit and watch other teams celebrate momentous wins against us- I can genuinely only think of a playoff final v Hartlepool and a win v Wycombe to finish second - both in the third tier. Other than that, nothing. When was last time we had a special night at Hillsborough where the result won us something or got us to Wembley? I can't remember one. Can remember seeing QPR take over Hillsborough winning League 1 in 2004 and thinking 'i'd love that to be us one day' Just having an incredible 'we did it' moment. We've had two. But seen loads do it to us. Good things just don't happen to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I should have packed it in after the 66 FA cup final, the writing was on the wall even then. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we can do is hope things get better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadsleyOwl Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The constant appointment of absolute shybo managers that keep getting outfoxed by their much better counterparts. That’s why we’ve had to endure this poo for 30 years 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me superstitious but not justified at all when we’re at 1-1. Asking for trouble. Just get behind em without stupid gimmicks. Agree Sally. Asking for trouble every time. Did it against pigs and again toneet. Only leads to pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 It is slightly concerning that another supposedly cursed club in Sunderland get the one up on us. Unfortunately, we are just a bit sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to be mad to support this club! The envy to be a Derby fan at the moment, and Sunderland have had 4 years of the dog poo… our day will come and when it does it will feel like the greatest triumph ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in 91 and yes it was real. I would never have guessed that in 30 years we have won nothing else. It was an amazing experience. Yhe whole cup run in 91 and 93 was very special. When Sheridan hit the back of the net every fan knew that we had won. It was brilliant. I still enjoy watching 91 on YouTube. It's a great pick me up tonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
