    That one doesnt count though. We had Long and Jelavic playing and they were a bit good. So it doesnt count as otherwise Sunland would have battered us no doubt. Just dumb luck and two better players. Does not count.

    Hull City reaching an FA Cup Final was absolutely ****ing amazing
    I've no interest whatsoever if anyone thinks there was any luck involved, and quite frankly you could probably argue that for every team in the final every year
    We'd never been anywhere near before and I very much doubt we'll be anywhere near for an awfully long time
    It was brilliant, surreal in fact
    Cracking day out too

    Luck, schmuck ... It was superb

    I agree with the sentiment, but you've got to admit we were ridiculously lucky with the set of teams we faced in the run to the Final. Can't recall a side ever only playing one PL team on the way to the FA Cup Final, and a bottom-feeder at that.

    You're not really cut out for supporting Hull City are you?

    That was the sentence I was responding to. You couldn't say that every team that makes the final is lucky, because we had one of the easiest draws that I've ever seen.

    It's well known that the two luckiest teams get to Wembley each May.

    Was a great day no doubt at all, but still we did have a fortuitous route there. I've made the point about the play-offs before in that we were pretty fortunate to get Sheff Weds in the final after Brighton were down to 10 due to injuries in their first leg with about a third of the match left leaving them with a squad like ours now and no chance in second leg. Also the second leg at the KC we were a goal from being level when it should never have been the case at all leaving anybody at the match shell shocked for most of the game. The only people arguing against that are hindsight merchants pointing to shots on goal. Europe was shocking as was relegation. Good luck to Bruce in the future and it's a shame he can't see us safe this season.

    Please pay attention to my previous comment on the subject

    Not sure that means no one else is allowed to mention it! If you have no interest why are you replying to people commenting on it?

    I can see you coming out of matches after we lose 4-0 whistling and happy, hope I'm wrong. A bit head in the sand

    Have you ever checked back at every team thats got to the Final? I'd suggest you do. Get back to us with the results as soon as possible.
    I'll start you off. One team got to the final after playing
    Spurs 3rd round
    Millwall. Went to a replay **** ****s
    Norwich
    Wolves
    Watford. In the ****ing semi easy ride ****s

    Go and find some more.

    Dust hasn't settled mate, no criticism of Bruce allowed from some of the oldtimers on here

    Interesting. How many of those sides you listed were PL sides?

    I'm not interested

    Not my point really
    I've been critical of Bruce where warranted.
    I'm just not interested in anyone trying to talk down the achievement that was Hull City reaching the FA Cup final
    You might even be right...I'm just not interested

    You quoted the teams.

    For the record, Spurs, Norwich and Watford were PL clubs, and Spurs were a much better side than Sunderland.
