That's why I enjoyed the Blackpool replay win so much

And our subsequent performance at Stamford Bridge too - because it felt like, with our recent record, it was as good as it was going to get! And even that is within a context of scrambling past a side from a division below after extra time, before losing 4-0 (albeit with a display I was proud of).

I never expected anything more than mid-table this season - but my one demand is we finally do something in the FA Cup, and pay proper homage to the 59ers half a century on. If we just perform our usual "lose to a lower ranked or crap club" act, I'll be absolutely livid.
