FA Cup History

Liverpool have been in twelve finals and won six.
Only three teams who have been in four or more finals have a better record in the finals. (See Link) One of those teams The Wanderers no longer exist. Another, Blackburn Rovers, hasn't been back since 1960. Leaving only a hated rival, Tottenham Hotspur, as having a better record than West Ham. This points to history being on West Ham's side. I'm hoping we see a 2-1 vicotry. Here is the historical record of West Ham in the FA Cup, from the fabled White Horse game to our most recent win (the last time a non-premier league team won the Cup).
1923 | Bolton | 0-2 | Loss | Link |
---|---|---|---|---|
1964 | Preston | 3-2 | Win | |
1975 | Fulham | 2-0 | Win | Link |
1980 | Arsenal | 1-0 | Win |
