All the talk (mainly from the BBC) about the magic of the FA Cup but that only really applies to a select few games in the early rounds (with one notable quarter final exception). Ironically the final is usually a complete anti-climax! That one was described by the commentator as “absorbing”. I would say “****ing Boring”.
 
The magic went when they started to let the big clubs through because they were in Europe and also let matches be moved if the little club had a tatty little ground. Yes, I know the reasons behind both decisions, but wasn’t it great when a big club had to play in a ground holding 200 people and a dog. *

* BTW that dog gets around
 
Club world cup?

Also they won CL in 2021 so even if accurate before then they've made a lot of finals in that time.

Unless it's domestic finals?

Yeah, sorry should have been more specific, it’s domestic finals.

Their last domestic cup win was the FA cup in 2018 with Corte as manager despite getting to the FA cup final 4 times since then!
