So, as in 1998, Charlton won with virtually the last kick of the game.

Sunderland beating Leeds in the FA Cup Final was a massive shock.  They used up all their good fortune and luck that day.  This was their Everest.  It has been all downhill since then with no other wins at Wembley.

Sunderland also lost the Checkatrade Final this season.  Last season Shrewsbury also lost both finals.

Does this make our 2 victories at Wembley even more outstanding in retrospect?

I looked on the Sunderland Echo sports.  The football  editor said that he thought that the club could not fit Embleton into their midfield next season.  He was expected to move on. (I doubt that we will see him back here).


I don't think we were lucky to in those games, but I've often felt like we used up decades of fortune in those five weeks.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I was saying more or less the same thing earlier to a Cobblers' supporting mate of mine... it's all about the ups and downs and we've certainly had more downs since that glorious season

Reminds me of that sunset scene from the Titanic.... full steam ahead after basking in the glow. What could possibly go wrong?
