We've drawn Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and as season ticket holders we've been able to get tickets in a stadium that only holds 4,500 tops. We have a plastic pitch only 100x60m and we're not even in the national leagues, which are the top 5 layers. We're at level 7, I think, maybe 8. It's a televised match if anyone wants to watch some truly amazing (not necessarily in a good way🤣) football.

Is it too much to hope that we might become giant killers?

Absolutely brilliant! I was screaming at the telly for the ref to blow for full time.

I’m not a football fan at all but my company is based in Macc so I watched. What a great match. Love it when this kind of thing happens.

Well done. I am a Robbie Savage fan so pleased they won.

Proper magic of the cup. Unlike the dirge fest that will be my Villa taking on Spurs later.

Marvs!

I hope you really enjoyed the game.The devout Crystal Palace supporter from my post of yesterday asks me on his behalf to salute your team and says the best side won. I had better go now and make sure he isn't cutting up his Crystal Palace scarf although I doubt he will wear it in public for some time...

PoppyFleur · 10/01/2026 14:36

Indeed and the fact he played for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 makes him even better IMHO!
