Biggest FA Cup win in our history?

QPR finished 5th in Div 1 the season before and were in the UEFA Cup that season.

A close call between that and the 2-2 at Anfield and I’d make the same observation about the difference in class/ability then too - before the PL was able to import World-class talent. (I’ll echo BST’s comments about team selection too. In those days the big clubs put out their first choice players right from the start in their FA cup campaigns  irrespective of the quality of the opposition.)

A 2-2 win? I know what you mean. One of the mascots the other week predicted we would win 1-1! We sort of did as we were 1-0 down and snatched a point.
