Macclesfield was the team I used in Football Manager for like 3 seasons in a row. Congratulations to all my fellow silkmen diehards for the greatest victory in the history of moss rose
We need to talk about what happened in the FA Cup.
Macclesfield FC, in the SIX TIER OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL AND NOT FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL, beat Crystal Palace of the Premier League.
One of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history.

Congrats to Macclesfield's Silkmen, beating Crystal Palace in the biggest FA Cup shock of all time. Macclesfield was once the world's largest producer of finished silk, with 5,000 looms and 71 mill factories. Photo of Paradise Mill, now part of the Silk Museum.

Five tiers and 122 places separate Macclesfield and Brentford, but it's still 0-0 after 45 minutes ⛔️
Brentford may have had 78% possession, but the spirited Silkmen are so far matching Arsenal in matching the Bees 👏

Big takeaway from colander eclipse community spirit in Aberystwyth is that we have neighbours from Macclesfield, so my Silkmen-supporting wife is happy…
what a bizarre experience - went out to a suitable spot with the colander and found another half dozen people doing the same. Lots of chat and laughs and, of course, the eclipse. Learnt two things as well: how to spell colander, and that ours was better than anyone else's.

So proud!!! WELL DONE SILKMEN!
It finishes Macclesfield 2, Crystal Palace 1. It's the biggest upset in FA Cup history. 117 league places between the two teams is the biggest gap overcome. Macclesfield are a semi-pro National League North team (sixth-tier), Premier League Palace are the current holders. #FACup #footy-live
Macclesfield now 2-0 up vs Palace. Would be one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history due to the gap between the two teams in the league pyramid. More significant still as Palace are the current cup holders.
