In this morning’s paper, prior to the FA Cup game with Swansea, The Deluded One was quoted as saying, “I need a trophy. My record is not too bad but not good enough yet.”
Having joined us a week after the debacle against ‘Boro in the 2002 QF, his actual FA Cup record was:
2003 3rd Round Lost Away to Shrewsbury (who were 91st in the Football League at the time!)
2004 4th Round Lost Away to Fulham (after Goodison draw)
2005 5th Round Lost Home to Man Utd
2006 4th Round Lost Away to Chelsea (after Goodison draw)
2007 3rd Round Lost Home to Blackburn
2008 3rd Round Lost Home to Oldham
2009 Final Lost to Chelsea
2010 4th Round Lost Home to Birmingham
2011 5th Round Lost Home to Reading
2012 Semi Final Lost to RS
2013 QF Lost Home to Wigan
When you consider the luck he had with home draws, I think his “…not too bad…” claim is nonsense. Another home loss today just compounds that view.
I do wish him all the best in his League Cup Semi-Final though because I can’t wait to see the miserable git’s face after City wipe the floor with United at Wembley.
