Well done to Palace took the lead and weathered the storm for a famous win.  Good to see a team from the bottom half of the Premier league qualify for European football next season without any of the daft media outrage.

One of my old favourite football manager games that. Palace had never won a major trophy before so I always liked to see if I started with them could I win one.

These young pups have no respect for an old soldier like yourself laoislad. Shocked it was that easy for you.

Captain Scarlet

That was fun. For all their possession did City pose a danger?

Delighted Henderson didn't back down when Pep was moaning at the end.

In fact Glasner should have engaged in a tactics chat with Pep in tge middle of the pitch for the cameras.

Pep is a dislikable hoor who has the veneer of being a decent fella.

There is some clear out needed at City and on the flip Palace will lose a few.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

FA Cup holders Crystal Palace currently losing their 3rd round tie 2-0 against Macclesfield F.C.
Who are 14th in National League N/S

Macclesfield win 2-1 and pitch celebration followed.

They started the 21/22 season in the 9th tier of the English pyramid, 3 promotions later and their first season in the National N/S.

It's the first time since 1909 that the FA Cup holders got knocked out by a non league team and at the time the non league team was Crystal Palace.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Not agood look or Oliver Glasner and him being looked at currently for bigger gigs.

Fair play to Macclesfield you can't beat a good underdog story.

Elsewhere I see Everton knocked out at home to Sunderland on a penalty shootout and Everton failed to score a penalty is that a first?

Wrexham, Forest was an absolute cracker too.
