This is my point. The desire to get it isn't like that way it used to be at all (memories of that semi-final with Arsenal in '99).
To be fair, they won it in 2004, should have won it in 2005, made the final in 2007 and would have won it in 2008 if not for having 'one of those games' against Portsmouth. The FA Cup needed that result today though, without it this was shaping up to be the dullest 3rd Round ever.

Took some good substitutions to turn it around today - and we get rewarded with another Premiership side away! I'm not sure we'll manage to get past Stoke
