As you'll probably understand, being a Latics fan at the moment is rather depressing. Can't even be arsed with Crewe away tomorrow, and that's always a decent day.
Instead, I've been reminiscing about the joyous times I've had following us, not that there's been many since 1985 that I was old enough to experience in all its glory, so I thought I'd have a look at past upsets we've handed out in the cup.
My mates, the usual United, City et al supporters, instantly assume our 1-0 win at Goodison a few years back, or even the 3-2 win over Liverpool at BP, would be my faves - which is probably the PL arrogance playing out there, but they don't come close.
Forest away a few years back, under the managerial genius that was Paul Dickov (bigger off, Donny), is hands down my most memorable one. We were in terrible form leading up to this game, and the first half was absolutely atrocious from out point of view. I thought it'd end up a good 5 or 6 nil by the end. We came out for the 2nd half and instantly improved. Our crowd, which at times, was superb and extremely noisy despite the performance we'd put in during that woeful first half, and we ended up witnessing a magical 7 minutes by smashing 3 in.
The video below, which is taken from the forest end during the build up to our 2nd goal, gives me goosebumps every time.
I'm sure you've all had those moments yourselves, so I was wondering, whilst I'm on my own pursuit of happiness, what games stand out for you?
To me, it's days, and moments, like this, that remind me why I support a team that fucks me off so bastard much.
