YES: We're Number ONE From Today's Guardian "The Knowledge"The Guardian/Howard Swains and John Ashdown "The Knowledge
RUNNING RINGS AROUND THE HOOPS" My team, QPR, haven't won an FA Cup game since 2001," moaned Sam Jones a week or two ago. "Is this the longest winless run for an existing Football League club in the FA Cup?" "After an exhaustive search through the record books we can reveal that it is indeed. A few clubs come close but no one can match the Hoops' hopelessness. "My team Sheffield Wednesday only fall short of that record by virtue of beating the seriously non-league team, Salisbury Town in the 2003 season in the first round proper," writes Peter Gethin. "Our last victory against a football league side came when we beat Derby on penalties in 2000." Almost as bad are Wednesday's south Yorkshire neighbours Rotherham United, who have suffered first-round exits in the past four seasons and third-round exits in the three prior to that. Their last win came in 2002 against Southampton. Other miserable Cup sides include Lincoln City, who haven't reached the third round since 1999, and Norwich City, who have suffered third-round defeats in 10 of the past 12 seasons.
