You're assuming we'll beat Fulham then?

Means we won't get Arsenal for the third year running in the QF should we unexpectedly beat Fulham. Of course, we could get Fleetwood who beat us and then have the financial joy of a two-legged SF.

Or the pain of two extra games, depending on how you view it.

That's how I view it. Although winning the whole thing is fine. Just not anything else.

Fulham will probably throw the Palace game, even knowing Fulham could easily win it. The prospect of Fleetwood thereafter would fill Fulham with dread.

You could have been onto something here.

Yep, and not just for the Macclesfield debacle.

I seem to remember, after losing the final reply in 1990, going to Hartlepool in the following years 3rd round, and loosing 1-0 to them.

It was 3 years later. Saville pen on an icy pitch if i remember right.
went out to forest in '91. 0-0 at selhurst and then 2-2 (salako from the halfway line in last minute) and 0-3 both at the city ground.

I remember Jeff stelling had it on in the background on sky sports. He supports pool and went a little mental 😆

A late hotly disputed penalty.

Apparently he joined Sky in 1994, a year after this game.
