Spurs were dumped out of the cup by Palace today while Chelsea demolished Man City 5-1. The last time we beat Blackburn Rover in the FA Cup was 2006 when we went all the way to the final only to be denied by a last-gasp Steven Gerrard equaliser then to be cruelly dumped by penalties. In the 2006 quarter-finals we beat Manchester City 2-1 with both Hammers goals coming from Dean Ashton.
