Absolutely crushed that day actually felt sick against the crash barrier for a while

Was lucky to be up in the upper comer that’s now closed but it was rammed.

Ex special operations Spelling Police officer here, I fucking hate it when people's names are misspelled.

Da Silva. Hadji.

 

[Ricketts]

Probably the strongest bench we’ve had for some time

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Great to see Van Ewuk on the bench. Is he a new signing?

it’s MVE they’ve spelt his name wrong

 

[Nick]

They posted their team yet?

 

[Cally Fedora]

Sensible team.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Bolton
Man UTD
Stoke
Sheffield Wednesday
Leeds
Tottenham

I really enjoyed being at the Stoke and Sheffield Wednesday games. It was after SW that I really believed it could be our year

 

[stevefloyd]

If I see MVE or Grimes in the starting 11 im going to punch a squirrel

Gonna tell the Rspca

The magic of the cup X

Macclesfield

 

[Marty]

On the firestick?

Should have gone to Specsavers

 

[Nick]

Few changes for them

A slow start then Regis took them apart, unplayable when he was on fire.

 

[baldy]

I think he knows tbf

 

[sc1940]

zoom in, it's correct

 

[stevefloyd]

Strong bench

Same here. 16 years old and last five minutes before half time I was doubled over a crash barrier. Only the half time whistle saved me and a couple of years later with Hillsborough it was frightening what could have happened

 

[Potbellypig]

9 of their team started the last game against Norwich

 

[Kingokings204]

No Thomas for them?

Robins wants to win this.

 

[Somerset Sky Blue]

Go on Mac! Non league currently beating the cup holders... Be nice if they pull it off so Sutton Vs Cov isn't the default giant killing go to footage!

Just mentioned us on the BBC - for that very reason!

 

[Major Tom]

Macclesfield

They’ve done it , 6th tier against the holders

 

[fatso]

Am old enough to claim that I went to every game. From Utd onwards, my mate and I hired a coach from Gunns of Arley to every game. Never made a penny out of it, simply covered the cost - that's why I never became a rich bloke! Great and very very happy days

I went to then all except Man utd, because I had to sell my ticket after going down with chicken pox of all things

It was a great run, amazing memories.
Coming back into Coventry on the coach after beating Leeds in the semi final was something ill never forget. It was like being in a carnival procession, people lining the streets and cheering the coaches coming back was unbelievable

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

They posted their team yet?

Well I've just seen the Stoke team and I called it right, I knew Mark Robins wouldn't make many changes.

He obviously wants to beat us.

When he was our manager and it came to the early rounds of the FA Cup he would changed nearly the whole team.

 

[Johhny Blue]

No Thomas for them?

Or us

 

[stevefloyd]

Knew there was no chance MVE starts. Lats at right back makes sense. Dont think we will see him cross the half way line..lol.

Could be 3 at the back...with Eccles and Bidwell wing backs?

Lati running

 

[fatso]

We look decent upfront but shit at the back.
Im going for a 3-4 scoreline.

Decent team that, especially pleased not to see Grimes and MVE. I hope we don't need to bring them on.

Same. Same feeling. Felt really good after we beat Stoke, but once we were past Sheffield Weds, then I truly believed.

 

[quinn1971]

Should be a really open game so 0-0, win on pens

 

[fatso]

Strong bench

Planning to take it to extra time ???

 

[CovValleyBoy]

I got pulled up to the seating, great day out!!

I know the current crop don't know they're born

 

[fernandopartridge]

If I recall correctly, we beat Stoke away in the 3rd round of the cup on our way to our famous win in 87. However, I’m really not bothered about the cup this year and want us to focus on the league.

5th round

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Stronger side than I was hoping for….
