There's just a chance that after beating Leeds the BBC WILL STOP MENTIONING CITY whenever Sutton are brought up - its like a worn record

By 2018-19 season, if SISU are still in charge we'll be playing them in the National League. ....Doh!

Had the same sense of relief. As we hardly ever get a mention now for football reasons and Leeds are a much bigger story/scalp they might now let it drop.

Yeah and losing again

Welcome Leeds to the beaten by Sutton in the cup club

I wondered that, but it's not as big as 1989. If Leeds were Premier League it would be a bigger shock as they are a very big club, but they're Championship. Bugger. .

Giving commentators and journalists alike a new excuse to use the line 'the last time Coventry and Sutton met was in 1989.......'

And teams don't play their best 11 in the cup anymore, so not as big a shock these days

Hopefully we haven't been playing ours in the league either.

 

[Warwickhunt]

As the commentator said this is better than the 1989 FA cup win against Coventry. Perhaps the record will now be put to bed. Perhaps the Gypsies curse will pass on to Leeds now.

Leeds will become homeless and SISU will build us a stadium?

Yes. Have my fingers crossed that is the case with Wycombe in the Checkatrade.

If they don't play their first team 11 I do think we can pull off a shock victory.

Just heard the manager on Radio 4, thought we'd got away with it until the last question:

"Does this eclipse the Coventry City win?"

"No I don't think so, this is just more recent"

Bugger.

I can think of few more deserving recipients.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

As I switched on the radio yesterday before the game they were talking about it so I switched off the radio.

I am sure other teams from the top league have been beaten by non league since but we rarely hear about that just our game and Hereford Newcastle.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I had money on them.....and wolves to beat the red-shite....it was a good day on my doubles coupon for a change....

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yesterday was nothing like the upset the 89 game was. The way Leeds approached the game was shameful. The pursuit of the PL (and its European cousin the Champions League) financial incentive has already emasculated the UEFA Cup and the League Cup and it is now after the FA Cup. The Football Association and the Premier League are an absolute disgrace.

Leeds are fourth in the Championship. We were fourth in the top flight at the time.
