Today’s Football 25/26 Season

When 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.

WBA v Woking bigger shock

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...

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.
The 98/99 Macclesfield club doesn't exist anymore and in the FA Cup there is no greater stature than " The Holders".

Yes that was the biggest shock ever in the FA cup.

Looked to me that Guehi and Glasner have checked out already.

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.
Glasner was just fuming. Rightly so. It does seem his day to day relationship with Parish is deteriorating but while we are still in Europe it would be difficult for either party to commit one way or the other.
 
On MOTD, they never focused on it, but Newcastle's captain ran up to the ref. indicating a card motion, but wasn't booked. I am unable to find it in the rules, that a captain can do that and not get booked. Just like Van Dijk's clapping a refs./VAR decision and not getting booked. It highlights certain clubs are allowed to do things other clubs players are booked for.
