Thinking of clubs that it would be nice to be drawn against in the fa cup . Big sides we have never played. Arsenal, Tottenham, Sunderland, Newcastle, Man Utd and Everton who else in any of the leagues ?
This has got a list of all the teams we've played - it can't be a full list of all the non-league sides but I guess it has all the league sides and some of the non-league:
I have run a de-dupe - the list of teams we have played against all current Football League teams (quiet day at work!!!)
Apparently we have never played the following teams:
Arsenal
Blackburn Rovers
Bolton Wanderers
Crystal Palace
Derby County
Everton
Ipswich Town
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Sunderland
Tottenham Hotspur
Considering we've never been higher than the third tier that's a very short list. Goes to show the turnover in top leagues and the advantages of a couple of good cup runs. It's interesting how many top flight teams we've played league games against.
Weve played Spurs more than once in Friendlies, Weve played both Spurs and Sunderland in friendlies at Bisham Abbey in the 80's. And played both Derby and Palace in friendleys at Loakes park in the 70's.

Crystal Palace, Southampton, Blackburn, Bolton, Derby, Ipswich. I think!
We've been in the same league as Southampton!
The club opted out of ever playing Palace, rightly.
Although we have played Palace pre season and played a more than competitive match at their ground.
Not forgotting the London 5 a sides too.

I'm sure if Che/Benny were still posting he'd find some corrections to be made but it looks reasonably comprehensive.

Is that just competitive matches? We played Spurs in a pre-season once, didn't we?

Friendlies don't count
The list I used which PBo found only contains competitive opponents.
we also played Spurs in Gary Lester's testimonial. One of my first ever games
@eric_plant I have the programme for that.
