The Eagles were founded in 1905, and lost the FA Cup final one year, four months and one day ago. Watford were founded in 1881, and lost the FA Cup final 33 years, four months and three days ago. Brighton were founded in 1901, and lost the FA Cup final 34 years, three months and 27 days ago. Bournemouth were founded in 1899, and have been no further than the quarter-finals of a major cup competition. It is two years, nine months and five days since the Cherries' lost a League Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
Forget finishing in the top four, football should be all about trying to win silverware.
