I decided to start this thread somewhat belatedly, as the competition started a while back.
However up until now it wasn't particularly noteworthy-until yesterday!
Friday night saw lowly Cambridge United hold Man United to a 0-0 draw, but the surprises came thick and fast yesterday.
The biggest upset, and some say the biggest ever FA Cup upset, was when Bradford City of League One came from 2-0 down to beat Premier League leaders Chelsea 2-4 at Stamford Bridge, the only team to win there this season.
Other upsets included Man City losing at home to Middlesborough, Southampton also losing at home to a rejuvenated Crystal Palace, and Spurs losing to Leicester.

Some real good games...Pool finally got the CP monkey off it's back, Bradford showed what the Cup's about and I feel for Preston who lost just a bit of poise in the 2nd half losing a 1-0 lead. And Villa's win might help them out in the Premiership too where they were in the doghouse as far as scoring goals.
So there will be at least one non Premier League team in the semi finals.
Preston North End did have a bit of bad luck last night.
Am I the only one who gets irritated by the lack of reaction of Van Gaal at his side scoring goals?
I don't see what all the fuss about him was.
He's hardly doing any better than Moyes was despite spending a fortune on new players.
The fuss about Van Gaal is the fact that there is hope under him. Whereas with Moyes there was no hope and the players didn't buy into him or his system.
Plus there is the fact that Van Gaal is basically short term (3 years) and then Giggs will most likely take over.
Man were the toilets saved???.. I know some chairs were gotten rid of on top of Villa peoples' heads .....kind of dangerous might be an understatement......
