Mind, I should have added that the real pinnacle of a Club's ambitions, has to be the North Riding Senior Cup, won on so many occasions by the mighty...
Middlesbrough FC (and Middlesbrough FC 1986 of course).
It's just a shame that NUFC (and others) don't reside in North Yorks, so are ineligible for this "great" competition...
Boro - now there's a Club with no real need for a trophy cabinet!
Cheers
PS PSLewis - oh how I miss you!

With less than six weeks to go before the start of the season, newly rich London also-rans Chelsea appear to have scooped the transfer deal of the year. In an unprecedented move the London club's new owner Roman Abramovich is reported to have signed every player in the premiership. The record breaking GBP3.4 billion bid is expected to be concluded on Thursday morning. Pressed for a comment on the breaking news, Abramovich was quick to set the story straight. "Whilst it is true that we have signed 674 new players, I would like to quash the rumour that we are in any way connected with a bid for Emile Heskey. We're not stupid!" Chelsea's boss was also quick to curb speculation that a change of manager was in the offing. "With our new squad of over 700 players I have every confidence that even Ranieri can pick a winning side."

Now, now, now Grovesy; you'll have all those Chelsea fans without a sense of humour, tearing after you - assuming they can find their way North of Watford, and let's face it, they usually can't... 
Cheers!

LOL at grovesy, there could be a vacancy for a carpark attendent so Emile neednt lose heart.
Oh and i'm a Chelsea fan with a sense of humour and i live north of Watford. Bit like the Toon winning a game in London (a rare thing)

Neil, Neil, Neil... NUFC lost 50% of their London games in 02/03, winning 33.33% and drawing 16.66%. Mind, at home we won 83.33% of our games against London teams and drew 16.66%.
In the Capital during 01/02, we won 33.33%, drew 50% and lost 16.66%. I'd say a win wasn't such a rare thing after all...
Cheers

Not everything Grovesy, but as a guy who really loves NUFC, I like to see truth and justice, and the good name of Newcastle Utd upheld!
Cheers
PS We're away on our Hols on Saturday morning. Can I pass on the mantle of "Keeper of the Faith" to you? Will you promise to uphold the honour of NUFC and track down evil wherever it lies?

Stats are useful when people make incorrect or even downright stupid statements. I wouldn't need to use them, if others checked before shouting their mouths off... 
However, the information you asked for:
NUFC at Wembley 93/94 to 02/03 = Played 4 Lost 4 Won 0 Drawn 0
Whilst those losses, particularly in the 2 FA Cup Finals, are disappointing, our six FA Cup Final victories in the past, do help to soften the blow a little. That's 6 (Six) FA CUP FINAL VICTORIES Chelsea fans; 6 (Six)...

And Another Some years ago, a Russian oil baron who had six children, all girls,
began to despair as he had no son and heir. Imagine his joy when one of
his wives finally presented him with a son and heir.
Just before his son's sixth birthday, the baron took him to one side and
said, "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get for
you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane."
Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father bought him United
Airlines.
Just before his son's seventh birthday, the baron took him to one side.
"Son, you are my pride and joy. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." Not wanting to do
anything halfway, his father bought him The Princess Cruise Lines.
Just before his son's eighth birthday, the baron took him to one side.
"Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I
shall get for you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to
watch cartoons." Not wanting to look a cheapskate, his father bought him
Disney Studios and their theatres, where he watched all his favourite
cartoons.
Just before his son's ninth birthday, the baron took him to one side.
"Son, you are an inspiration to us all. Anything you want, I shall get
for you." His son, who was by now really into the Disney cartoons,
replied, "Daddy, I would like a Mickey Mouse outfit." Not wanting to
appear to be tight, his father bought him Chelsea Football club.

Hi Neil
A trophy would be nice, but not some "Mickey Mouse" thing like the Asia Cup. We've won enought of those in recent years that we don't actually count them - unlike Chelsea obviously.
And yes, I was pissed off when we lost, although when I found out it was on Penalties, that did sweeten the pill somewhat - it's always a bit of a lottery. However, with our past record in such shoot outs, it didn't surprise me that we lost - we usually do! Even to such "illustrious" teams as Bournemouth and Sunderland...
I was as pissed off that we lost to you as I am that our 2nd team lost to Sheff Wed last night. It rather took the edge off the 6-0 win at Hartlepool, where we were (to use the words of BBC Radio 5 Live), "magnificent, despite the lowly opposition". We certainly enjoyed the game. Worth coming home from our Hols early for!
Anyway, I just hate losing to any team, in any game, but as far as trophies are concerned, for me in order of importance:
EPL
ECL
FA Cup
UEFA Cup
League Cup
Texaco, Anglo Italian, JJB Sports, Asia, Umbro, etc etc Cups or Charity Shield? Not interested at all.
Cheers
