    Although the result was nowhere near the seismic shock in Scotland - where Queens Park knocked Rangers out of the Cup with a 1-0 win at Ibrox.

    What is so special about that? Only two teams have won the Scottish cup more often than Queens Park and one of those teams no longer exists. Their phoenix version does but I can't be bothered to look up whether they have ever won the cup.

    You're confusing two essentially different clubs. The Queens Park who won the Scottish Cup in the late 1800s are different from the club of today - they were totally amateur. The Queens Park of today only eschewed amateurism in 2019 - so beating Scotland's second biggest club in their own stadium is no mean feat. Cast your mind back two or three seasons to when England's newest professional club were drawn away to ManCity in the cup - had the result of that been 0-1 instead of 8-0, it would have been viewed in the same way as Queens Park winning at Ibrox - with incredulity and with shockwaves reverberating around England.

    And if you want to argue that the two clubs are the same as they were in the late 1800s, then consider the fact that the last time Queens Park beat Rangers was 140+ years ago...

    And probably not football fans either!

    Apparently she has always been against the idea anyway.

    To be fair, we probably owe our continuing existence to one of them - Lord Ashcroft.

    Man City will only have the FA Cup to compete for soon.

    Exeter gave Forest a good game taking them to penalties.

    Agreed - I gave up watching our shower at half time and watched this game instead.
