Didn't really register on the shit days scale

Stoke relegation was miles miles worse

Not for me, always dreamed of seeing us win an FA cup & twice we threw away golden chances to get to finals & neither Villa or Stoke had to play well to beat us.

The cup was the one I’d always wanted and was devastated at the time but it’s been devalued so much in recent years that I look back and it barely registers. 
 

As a few others have said it was an ace weekend football aside so that may help as well.

For example getting pumped by Accrington Stanley 7-1 sits worse now.

I'm a season campaigner in relegations, heavy defeats & playoff heartache. But FA Cup finals are something I have no experience in at all. When their second went in you just knew it wasn't going to be our day. Because of the opposition this had embarrassment as well as ultimate disappointment written all over it. It wouldn't have been that bad if we had been thumped by the same score in the final.

I was convinced during that successful season, well until early March, thar Bolton were a one man team (Holden) and because Holden was injured expected to lose and didn't make the trip.I swiched the radio on about ten minutes in and it was 0-2.Just another lost cup tie  sat home for me.
