What an unbelievable game and day for Macclesfield, proper magic of the #FACup stuff, absolutely incredible 😍 #MACCRY #MOTD

I complained about Spurs earlier, but at least they put up some fight in the second half against a side that’s third in the league.

If I were a Crystal Palace fan, I’d be embarrassed to have lost to Macclesfield, a team five divisions lower.

Remarkable. #MACCRY #FACup

The story of the day was #MacclesfieldTownFC and their triumph over holders #CPFC. What a day for a club that's really been put through the ringer. Delighted for them. "The magic of the Cup" is a well-worn cliché, but it's apt today #MACCRY #FACup

I just got up to the news that Palace were on the receiving end of the biggest Cupset in history.

Makes me slightly less concerned about Monday.

Think that the Palace fans need to read the #Macclesfield shirt sponsor & ‘Duck and Cover’ their faces! 🫣🫠😜

Not angry, it’s bad but you have take the rough with the smooth.

Only Palace would lose their defence with the biggest upset in English football ever.

We just witnessed history.

Nothing will ever take away the 17th May 2025 from us.

Well done to Macclesfield, they deserved it.
