We've beaten 4 PL sides in the FA Cup

[tiger76]

While in the lower leagues, about time we made it 5 at Bournemouth.

I actually thought we'd beaten more top flight sides then that whilst competing outside the PL, but I guess some of those wins must have came in the LC.

Derby 1999 when Andy Cooke notched the winner.

Fulham 2003 when we blitzed them 3-0 in a TM 5th round replay.

Liverpool 2005 yes the night of the comical OG.

West Brom 2009 again in a TM replay this time at the 4th round stage.

Bizarrely despite the Cherries being in the PL, and Burnley once more back in the Championship, many pundits seem to have us as favourites, although given it's extremely likely both sides will ring the changes it's difficult to predict.

I'm not massively bothered by the result, however I'm keen to see how our youngsters fare against a lower half PL side as this might give us an idea how we'll cope assuming we are promoted straight back to the Prem.

Some night that Liverpool game.

Was it Coventry after derby when they had Chippo and Hadji? Great players.

Poor quality. Good memories though.

Blessing that it got called off the first time.

I hate football stats that reference only The Premier League years. Why do we seemingly have to ignore or forget everything that came before?

When did this become a thing? Presumably it can’t have begun until at least year two of The Premier League being formed.

Because all Clarets who can remember, want to forget about Wimbledon in 75.

Always remember when a rovers fan says 'you've never won the premier league' to reply 'you've never been to wembley'. They will disagree until you point out they have never been to 'the new wembley' since it got done up. same thing innit?

As they will Lincoln in 2017 and those Cowley brothers lauded as tactical masterminds.

As it happens both sacked this week by Pompey.

Bournemouth beat us when things were the other way round. It was an typical cup performance from us.

I was at that game in the main Coventry stand with a Cov supporting business acquaintance. Coventry were in a different league to us that day (yes i know they were Premier League) and the gulf in quality was huge. Was it Chippo or Hadji that scored a screamer from about 30 yards in the first half? I remember I think it was Darren Huckerby selling Steve Davis a dummy near the half way line from about 5 yards in front of him. Ball played firmly to his feet and Huckerby let it run, spun and accelerated past Davis who was totally bamboozled by it. Was it 2 years later we went to Cov and won 2-0 with a Taylor header and the indirect freekick in the box that Little finished. How the 2 club's fortunes have gone in opposite directions in the last 20 or so years

Whenever they say that to me, I reply with 'neither have you' which confuses them. Then I point out that the version they won was called the Premiership and had 22 teams.

Obviously, they then reply with, "well, it's the same thing" but then can't answer why it wasn't the same thing when we won it as Division One. Apparently, name changes only count when it suits.

Please don't mention Huckerby. He ways ran us ragged.

What a player he was. Pace and technique was outstanding.

Gary McAllister was sensational that day. He absolutely bossed midfield and it was no surprise that Liverpool subsequently signed him and he went on to lift The Champions League.

It was the UEFA, FA and League cups in 2001. Inspired signing for Liverpool.

Of course it was, the old memory playing tricks again. I'll avoid the temptation to edit out my stupidity

Haha don't worry, they did win the CL soon after!

Huckerby didn’t play, might have been Robbie Keane who destroyed Davis.

Did we play Little on the left wing that day?

We can now add Bournemouth to that list of PL scalps. So much nicer to be on the right side of an upset, although if it is regarded as an upset it is only a minor one given the respective league positions of both clubs.
