Question re trophies

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

This came up in the context of a Man City fan actually showing us some respect and saying that the "where were you?" brigade point to one off attendances rather than averages and forget that we have probable gone longest of any top flight club without winning anything at all.

This got me wondering, which current PL clubs have actually won less than us in the last thirty years? Anyone know?

If you're not counting assorted promotions then it is:

Bolton (FA Cup 1958 was last trophy I think),

Charlton Athletic (FA Cup 1946?)

Fulham

Middlesborough (Have they EVER won owt?)

So he's right - we've gone longer than any other "proper" Premiership team!!

Southampton haven't won anything have they?

As for the Monsters of Smog...I think their only cup success (apart from Div2) is the Anglo-Scots Cup. Nice

Not certain, but I think Southampton won the FA Cup in 1978 (ish). More than the buggers deserve.
