Givens a right thicko but a nice lad, think that's an honest mistake. People want to cancel everyone these days, hope that doesn't cost him his career
I wonder how many of the players and staff from Spuds and Villa will be charged with violent conduct after their kerfuffle at the end of the game. Looking forward to a few 3 game bans being liberally distributed.
WBA v Woking bigger shockWhen people call palace being beaten by macclesfield the greatest fa cup shock. I dont really see it that way, in 98/99 these clubs were one division apart and i always remember macclesfield as a professional club normally in league 2 and palace have more been a championship side than a premier league side in my memory so it doesnt really seem that way to me.
But yes being the holders of the cup does add weight to the argument but club size/stature doesnt equate.
the main problem with punditry today - See Murphy, Neville and spittyGivens a right thicko but a nice lad, think that's an honest mistake. People want to cancel everyone these days, hope that doesn't cost him his career
It is the difference in league placings that rank it as the greatest ever cup shock. A Premier league team losing to a team 14th in the National League North...When people call palace being beaten by macclesfield the greatest fa cup shock.

The current gap between the sides is 117 places. There has never been a bigger gap in FA Cup history. That is the quantitative rationale. For qualitative rationale you can say what you feel. The media will cling on the "117 places" to justify them calling it the greatest shock and who can blame them.When people call palace being beaten by macclesfield the greatest fa cup shock.

The 98/99 Macclesfield club doesn't exist anymore and in the FA Cup there is no greater stature than " The Holders".
Very best of luck mateToday can absolutely do one. Came back from the FA Trophy game at Walton & Hersham to find I have a colonoscopy appointment on Monday week.

Looks like Guehi is off and probably not to the RS. I saw an article from "Liverpool World", whatever that is, which stated that Guehi has a weakness that would actually make Liverpool worse. Getting their retaliation in first as ever. We have a promising youngster we signed in the summer (Canvot) and he looks a decent prospect plus Algerian international Chadi Rhiad is almost back from long term injury. So we will take the money I think.Looked to me that Guehi and Glasner have checked out already.
Good luck. Al, make sure you don’t go alone and please don’t just take the gas and air!Today can absolutely do one. Came back from the FA Trophy game at Walton & Hersham to find I have a colonoscopy appointment on Monday week.
