Tbh mate I think my point went missing a while ago. What I was getting at in the first place was the fact that they put such a big play on beating us in that semi final, which they narrowly did, The fact they lost in the final Is irrelevant to the point I was getting at, really.Agreed. In terms of your main point questioning the idea they have that 1993 was their ‘great’ victory, I think that does fall down on the fact they lost the final. And I really doubt we’d have won it either. If it had led to them winning the FA Cup, or it had stopped us winning it, or stopped us getting to Wembley as semi-finals used to, then the result would have been more significant. As it was, it turned out to be a standalone disappointing moment, but there were no ramifications really. The truth is their scrambled 2-2 draw at the Lane in League 1 was probably the most significant result in terms of the impact it had later had. And the psychological damage of the 4-2 at theirs 6 year later turned that around in the opposite direction again.
Our clubs were in opposite places back then (like they are now albeit to a different level) but it didn’t stop them lording it and Neither should we come Sunday if we send them down. That’s all I was getting at
