Katie Borkins 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Portsmouth won the cup in 2008 and were relegated in 2010. You could link the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 3, 2012 yes.. all the teams that dont win the league and FA cup in the same season... too much of a distraction....you get relegated because you werent good enough over 38 games.. not because you get to Wembley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted February 3, 2012 Those who were watching City BEFORE the cup final could see we were a failing team. In fact we had lost at home to Sunderland the week before.But then if you are desperately scrabbling around for something to attack our club with any thing will do. Perhaps some of our consistent critics might care to tell us of their personal memories of those days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Errr........what was this thread about....now let me see..........oh yes....the cup. A cup run will only cause problems if we don''t have enough points by the quarter finals. That is when the pressure will start to build. With a bit of luck we''ll eek out a few more points by then so we can enjoy the cup run and the end of the season. If we get to the semi finals and still need three or four points - the pressure would be on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
