Well, we have a thread for favourite loss so we might as well have one for draws as well.
I will start it off with Man City away at Maine Road in 97-98 season. Brilliant battling performance from Charlton who had to put Steve Brown in goal after only about 6 minutes I think. The City fans thought they were going to thrash us but Brownie was a rock and played brilliantly and made some cracking saves.
We came back twice with 2 goals from sub Steve Jones, the first a vicious, swerving effort from 25 yards that left their keeper for dead and the second a superb injury time header from a Mark Bright pinpoint cross after a slip from their defender let us in.
We had good support up there that night and can remember us going absolutely mental when we scored our goals. The second equaliser was only a couple of minutes after they scored and they thought they had won the game.
Always loved going to Maine Road and this one will always stand out for me!

We fully deserved a win, but Johnny Robinson getting the equaliser late on was marvellous.
2 men sent off, and Miguel Llera scoring the most ridiculous of equalisers in the last minute.
(Last-minute equalisers are the key to a good draw. Unless you're conceding them - for example, our 3-3 agains Aston Villa at The Valley around 10 years ago).
Agree with the ManU 3-3, and the 9 man Swindon, and I will throw into the mix Jorge Costas last game 0-0 at Old Trafford.
Last minute Llera lob.
also the 4-4 at ipswich early 90's?
CA 2 Palace 2. Jon Fortune
CA 4 Sunderland 4
4-4 with west ham
3-3 with united
2-2 with Swindon
I loved the 2-2 night game with Newcastle with pringle scoring. Think we had a chance just before his equaliser which crossed the line and wasn't given.
JJ'S overhead kick
One of my favourite draws was 1997 at home to Norwich... 4-2 down in injury time.. leaburn and Jason Lee scored to make it 4-4
But back in the day there were some frustrating draws at Bristol Rovers (5-5) and Burnley (4-4) where we snatched a draw from the jaws of victory (
9 men and a jaw dropping Llera goal
