Since we were last in the FA Cup Final 1991, these are our best showings in the cups since :
League Cup
1992 Final lost to Man Utd
1993 Qtr Final lost to Arsenal
1994 Qtr Final lost to Tranmere
Have'nt even got to the fourth round since 2005...... pretty dire really
FA Cup
1991 Final lost to Spurs
1992 Qtr Final lost to Portsmouth
1993 5th Round lost to Arsenal
1996 Qtr Final lost to Villa
1997 5th Round lost to Chesterfield
2005 5th Round lost to Spurs
So we hav'nt been this far in either cup since 2005!
If we beat Sheff Utd it would be our best season in the cups since 1996!

Well Milford cheated us out of a better opportunity to win the FA Cup, if we we're Leeds fan we'd be counting ourselves as 1991 FA Cup winners.
Rev, losing in the two semi finals and one final in the late 80's early 90's was massively disappointing. These were still a decent achievement though and our expectations would have been much higher back then

"Jack - we never got to a Semi in the late 80's early 90's
The only Semi Final in my lifetime were in 1988, 1989 and 1991"
That is the late 80's, early 90's
I went to all of those as well, the scouse seemed determined to stop us in our tracks

Rev, weren't you at Hillsborough in '67 against Spurs?
I even got on "The Big Match", sitting on my mate's shoulders, in the Kop end, giving it large!!!!

Soz, Rev. I had you down as being an old fart like me!!!!
BTW, I like the autocorrect! Most people burn at the end of their lives, not the beginning!
