FA Cup Final, Wembley Stadium, 17/5/14
Not quite such a historic (nor romantic) outcome to this one. Still a shock looked on the cards after ten minutes when Hull were two up. But eighty minutes is a long time to hold out especially against a team capable of keeping the ball.
Arsenal did not really create much in the way of chances but big clubs tend to prevail in these situations.
And Hull have the consolation of playing in a “proper” European competition* next season. Not that that did Stoke or Birmingham much good – though Wigan reached the play-offs tis year despite the distraction.
*They did once take part in the Anglo-Italian Cup in the long ago.
