In my mind it's also the greatest weekend of FA Cup results in history. I loved the stat that Cambridge's side cost nothing to build, while United's starting XI cost more than £300m. Insane.
Didn't they fly back from Dubai just yesterday or something? Their own fault.

Whether it was the biggest shock or not, I'm loving watching the highlights of the Bradford fans going BAT mental as the goals fly in. At points it felt as though they didn't know how to celebrate any more. Absolute carnage

Sutton beating Leeds some years ago was a bigger shock. Non league team beating possibly the top team in the country and one of the top in Europe.

I think he means Wimbledon smudge
Congrats Bradford.
Congrats Bradford.
Colchester v Leeds was exceptional and just as unexpected as well in the past.
Bradford City exploits of recent years exceed Bedford Town in the sixties by quite a long way.
I had given up on Bradford City after giving the ball away leading to the Chelsea goals. I thought we had better not do that against Arsenal. PS: I was also thinking even if we lead Arsenal 4-0 I would be on edge after they came back from 0-4 down to Reading.

My old mind got confused. It was Colchester and Wimbledon who both beat Leeds, I think. Sutton beat Coventry sorry.

Unbelievable result. Chelsea conceding 4 at home doesn't happen often. Astonishing indeed.
What's almost as unbelievable is that Palace are currently the highest ranked team guaranteed a spot in the 5th round draw!

...But has a "lesser" team ever beaten the current league leaders at their home ground by coming back from 2 goals down? I suspect never.
