Newcastle are in the Q/Fs of the FA Cup and Munse is whinging ... <doh>

...for years Newcastle managers happily exited the cup competitions at the earliest opportunities in favour of simply surviving in the league ... what's the fookin point in that? A day out at Wembley is a day to remember... and part of what footie is all about ..
 
Remember when Maradona was so desperate to sign for Sunderland he threatened to retire from football when the Argentinian military blocked it and declared him untransferrable.

Guy would have had a fantastic career if that had happened and wouldn’t have cheated against England. We’d have probably won the World Cup in 86 and it would have all been down to Sunderland.

We're sick of days out at Wembley we need to actually win a trophy one day now.

You can't have had many Wembley days out in your lifetime for any of the major trophies and I'm excluding the Charity Shield.

In fact I can only think of two in your lifetime, back to back FA Cup visits....am I right?

TWO <laugh>

Only 3 of the 5 in mine, but like I say it's probably worse because you know it's maybe never coming again. The big clubs know it's coming regularly.

Actually we've lost at Wembley 5 times in my life I think because we lost in a semi and even lost 4-0 in the ****ing charity shield <laugh>

It's why I dont know why our fans even look fwd to Wembley because I know for a fact it will end in certain defeat.

I hate that, I understand they wanna milk Wembley to make more cash out of it, but I much preferred it when FA Cup semis were held at Old Trafford and Villa Park.
Really waters Wembley down by holding the semis there too.

We lost the final a year ago mate... I'm wondering if there's a record for consecutive wembley defeats ... we're at 7 in a row.
