Blackburn away all the way for me. Winning in open play is how it should be done. Away from home too, at top of the league, with the club generally on the up in that period.
Tonight felt incidental in the bigger picture for me. Maybe a n important confidence booster but nothing too glorious in beating an out of sorts Brighton at home on pens at the moment.
The biggest shock for a long time certainly, when you consider our lowly position and crap form, whereas in 1993/94 we were playing well near the top of the second tier.
Only team outside the PL in the QFs and the only London side too. Who would have thought that for a side renowned for early round Cup exit in recent years!

Especially with our PATHETIC record in the League/EFL Cup. The QF is as far as we have ever got in the competition.
It probably has to be Blackburn or Chelsea. There's really not much else to include.
But Coventry away was my favourite.
Cracking day that - everyone in the Highfield Arms I think the pub was called.. Cracking atmosphere.. I remember that Coventry fan getting a good hiding, when he celebrated in our end.
1968/69 season, Palace away in the replay. With thousands of others having parked the car miles away because the traffic was going nowhere we walked, got there just after it had kicked off and witnessed a superb 2-0 win for the mighty Addicks, or Valiants as we had become known as. What a season
Pompey away in the replay. 0-0 on the Saturday and a few days later trekking down to the south coast to find ourselves stuck in a packed Pompey crowd and looking like there were few Charlton fans there…and celebrating a 3-0 win

That was my first season of attending regularly and my first away game.....second was Arsenal....happy days, great memories.
Must be one of the, if not the, biggest gap in league standings we’ve over come? 55 places in the ladder (7th vs 62nd)?
I think it's the biggest upset. When you consider where we are.
2 clean sheets against that Blackburn team, the come back at Coventry the only team to beat Jose at home for about 15 years, playing Wednesday off the park all get honorable mentions.

Sheffield Wednesday Away in the FA Cup Fifth Round in 2014. Long live Simon Church.
