185 minutes, I thought


Is maths not a strong point?

Maths, no. However, hope springs eternal, and a lot of other Albion fans would feel we would have beaten Sunderland, and that would have left Sheff U, and then, Arsenal who have never beaten us at Wembley.

You are either a very positive person or a dreamer, it would have been nice.

So this stupid theory, 5
Minutes away yet had another two games to play so really 185 mins.

We were 90 mins from the prem. reverse our 1-0 defeat at hull for a 1-0 win and we would have finished second.

Too many 'if's' for me - sure, Hull at home was winnable, but we didn't quite make it. So would Sunderland at home - but so what? Didn't happen. If only don't count.

If only the directors had let Billy Lane sign Denis Law for £500...........................................

It was £650. His namesake turned into a decent player, though, didn't he ?

I'm with the opening poster. If we had played our best side against hull and lost I wouldn't be saying it. But we didn't. Stupid.

But I'm trying to forget it about.

Im gutted. Maybe years before we have another chance like we had.We may not have beaten Hull if we have gone for it.But the way we approached that away game was just typical of the mentality of our gameplan atm.As for not playing your number 1, well I think thats been done to death already.

Have to say I agree with you.

You are eternally hopeful! Good job it wouldn't have been Notts County!

It's hilarious how defensive people get over opinions, on this one I agree with you mate, lot's of ifs and buts, if we would of held out v Hull. Upset Sunderland and beaten Sheff Utd. It could of been Arsenal Brighton in the final? and IF Arsenal went on to get top 4, we may well of got Europe for being runners up? Now that would of been something? BUT we didn't and that's that! Looking at how well Wigan, Hull and Sheffield Utd have done in this competition there is a good chance of going on a better run next year!
