Someone no the answer to this...
once you have done it you can't do it again.
aston villa did it at their first attempt. man utd did it in 1992.
spurs, wolves, man city, leeds, west ham and newcastle have all done it.
no one did it last season and no one can do it this season.
what is it ??????????????????????????

It can't be that or QPR would be in the list. In fact while I'm here, they were the first team ever to win the League cup at Wembley in 1969(ish).

Something to do with being unbeaten away from home all season? (hard to believe with West Ham in the list!)
Or ... lose 2 consecutive Wembley matches??
While I'm on, how about a supplementary question: Which player has played at Wembley more times than any other?

Someone in my office has come up with the following:
"Surely the question is incorrect because West Ham and Newcastle have not done it and also someone could still do it this season (Newcastle at least are still in the Worthington(League)Cup)
The answer to the question is to get their name on all three domestic trophies League, FA Cup and League cup"
SeanT, what is the answer?

One more go:
All the teams have won an FA Cup replay at the first time of asking.
Last year the FAC Cup was to be decided by extra time and pens, the same this year.
Is it along those lines......?

Sounds as if it is along those lines, except Man U won a replay at Wembly in 1990. I was there supporting Palace. sob!
