Favourite FA Cup Games

[bovril]

Because it's cup weekend and it might lighten the mood

 

Apart from the very obvious:

 

2-2 v Chelsea (1997) - a bit of needle as ever vs Chelsea, great fightback and on live TV. Could've won the FA cup that season.
3-2 vs Tottenham (2006) - another great comeback on live TV, and much needed in the middle of a terrible league season.
1-0 vs Bournemouth (2024) - great win to get into the 1/4 finals and felt like a real renaissance after the misery of 22/23.

2-2 v Chelsea, I was at the replay when Erland Johnsen fell over in the box, dreadful refereeing. 
 

1-0 v Palace - Richard Smith late winner 1990

 

2-2 v Barnsley - Joachim’s outside of the right foot goal from 25 yards

Great away day that was

Charlton away, 2005.

 

Don't think the concept of 'limbs' existed back then, but limbs there certainly were when Dublin popped up with that last minute winner.

Reading (A) in 2005 often goes under the radar because of the Charlton game that followed, but that was a good win at the time, we took a big following and it had last minute 'limbs' as well.

Remember it being the day Bradford beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge too. Great day out.

Peterborough (A) 1-5 in 2018.

 

Great day out and we took a very good end. 

 

I'm pretty much against modern football and love grounds with character, but that away end has been a massive upgrade on the terrace.

QPR 0 v 2 Leicester - the Joe Waters game 'what a goal for the youngster!'

An all timer for me. My first proper Leicester match and as a local at the time.

Yeah a fantastic game under lights after a good draw at Maine Road . Having been 0-2 a star studded Man City were swept aside by a fantastic comeback & wonderful backing by the fans. Large was a fearless old fashioned battering ram type of centre forward & City just couldn't handle him. One of the best atmospheres I can remember at Filbert Street.

Wycombe at home 👀👀👀

Always a love hate towards FA Cup until we got it in 2021. Could finally look at that beautiful trophy and say yep had that!

[ealingfox]

The 2-2 draw against Man City when Bamba scored in the first minute. A rare great atmosphere on Filbert Way.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Wigan when UFS moved into SK2. Great fun.

The 3-2 Spurs one always sticks out, made even sweeter that our PE teacher was a Spurs fan. Left an envelope on his desk as we had him 2nd period.

 

He opened it up in front of the class and inside was an A3 print out of De Vries sliding the winner home
