Very good article, highlighting our extraordinary, against the odds on field results, coupled with the equally extraordinary, against the odds fortune, of the draws.

As you say as well as great performances we wouldn't have had so many opportunities for giant killing without the luck of the draws. Not just drawing top teams but a succession of home draws and beatable teams in the early rounds.

That's a very good point. Do Cup draws come much better than, non-league at home, non-league at home, non-league at home, Manchester United at home?

The article missed out the 1-1 draw against Newcastle, only to loose on penalties.

And Charlton and Brentford this season

Losing on penalties
