Actually Bournemouth also have a worse record, but then we start getting into minutae.

megson makes good points, but does expectation not match reality?

Example - since 1994/5 (the last 21 seasons) we have only finished in the top 16 of the football pyramid twice; but in that period we have reached the last 16 of the FA Cup (rd 5) on three occasions.

Enough already, I've had my dig at mr-hyperbole.
