Thanyou Maidstone, Leeds tried hard a few years ago but Sutton has surely gone into the vault?

Don’t you believe it!

I don’t remember us being as unlucky as Ipswich were today. They could’ve had a hatful in the first 15 mins!

They'll probably beat us in the 5th round

The differences in divisions are the same , 4 between them

Think Sutton beating coventry is still bigger as coventry were top flight and finished 7th that season

Kind of agree the only different surprise to this v us or Hereford etc is it was not on a dodgy ground but actually at Portman Road.

I thought Sutton were the same level as Maidstone now but I might be wrong. Also I think we were third at the time. Sutton's win was a much bigger shock than today.

Sutton were 1 league below Division 4, so equivalent of national league now so 1 level above where Maidstone are.

Why? We were top flight, had won the cup a couple of years before, and were flying in the top division at the time.

Unfortunately Sutton is still the number one giant killer act of modern times, they were non league at the time we were third in the top division and only a couple of years from our cup win, I would of loved to draw them in the cup this year to really put them to bed.

We were 3rd. To put it into perspective I was going to say its was the equivalent of Man City losing to a non league side. However hadn't realised they have moved up to 2nd now, therefore Arsenal losing to non league.

It was a truly awful day , but deserved to win relatively comfortably. However that didn't happen, truly embarrassing.

But todays division below the fourth is much stronger than the conference of those times.

Bizarrely I felt worse after we lost at Northampton, which was the next season no? We were unlucky at Sutton but truly appalling at Northampton.

I remember the quietest car journey back home. On the same day Division 1 Middlesbrough lost at home to Division 4 Grimsby & Bradford beat Spurs but Sutton were the story.

So did I but not only because we lost but because I was absolutely soaked through too. Awful day.

Sutton was a bigger shock, I was there we should have scored 10 but unlucky. Plus we were a division above at the time obviously.

Yes in terms of performance yes. Dreadful. Weather pretty bad too.

I went to Sutton, it was rubbish and depressing. The only other time I felt that bad was on a mid week trip to Scarborough, where we also lost.

I would still say our defeat was the bigger shock, although this will be played on TV a lot more now than the footage of the Sutton kid wheeling away after scoring.

Why was it? Same division gap plus Ipswich at home. Imagine Sutton beating us at HR.

The equivalent today would be something like Eastleigh beating Villa. That would be a much bigger shock than Maidstone winning at Ipswich.

Something wrong with a mathematical model that decides 'Woking are the proud owners of the FA Cup’s biggest upset, according to the mathematical model. If this match was played 15,959,312, West Brom would win 15,959,311 of them'.

16 million to one for a non-league side to beat a second division team?! That's nonsense.
