all the usual; FA Cup, Hereford Vs Newcastle, Ipswich Vs Arsenal, Sunderland Vs Leeds and the total best Wimbledon Vs the rs.

slightly off topic; the year of the Wimbledon rs fa cup we had a sweep in work with the last 32, a fiver each team, in sealed envelopes, opened at the semis.
At that time I was going through a water divining phase using brass braizing rods ( brass being non magnetic, so as to eliminate outside influences ).
When it came for the 32 envelopes to be offered for slection I blagged my way to the front of the queue and let the brass rods work their magic.
I divided the envelopes into 2 piles, using the magic rods got a yes no from each pile16, 8, 4 , 2, 1.

Low and behold wimbledon

true

Yes, but it isnt really an upset. Sudan beating the USSR in the Ice Hockey final would be an upset.

Once again, with respect... The USSR squad that what to Lake Placid was the overwhelming favourite to win yet another gold medal. The squad was arguably the single greatest squad of ice hockey players ever assembled and they were beaten by a team of college kids.
I was heavily involved in ice hockey for many years and have been to Russia, Canada, the US, and all over Europe watching and radio commentating on the sport and unanimously in hockey circles, Lake Placed was way, way, way the biggest upset ever in ice hockey since Great Britain won the Olympic gold medal in 1936.

The way this season's panning out, I wonder how long it will be before the press dub us beating anyone (apart from WBA) an "Upset"?
