FA Cup 3rd Round Macclesfield

[Foxy82]

This game will we be a great chance for Esse to get some much needed minutes under his belt, to boost his confidence. Oh wait...

 

[doombear]

So Marc Guehi will be cup tied - that wont do his January transfer any favours -

No he won't - see recent entries under the Guehi thread.

 

[eaglesfans]

Possible chance the game is postponed tomorrow? -3 during the night and possible snow. Hopefully they have the heaters on the pitch.

Pladtic grass may melt

 

[Phil’s Barber]

Macclesfield are 14th in 'National League North' but are only 4 points adrift of the team in 6th place.
Macclesfield have only lost 3 out of 12 League games at Home.
A veritable 'Banana skin'.

Good grief Willo, have you ever thought of trying Prozac?! 🤪😂

 

[Jim_Cannon]

I'm sure this won't be a million miles away.
Riad has no return date and won't be starting.
I've heard in training that Drakes Thomas has been tried at RWB, in which case Devenny could be pushed into midfield to partner Wharton if Drakes Thomas is selected there.
Depending how the game is going it may well be other youngsters will get a runout too.

Apparently Riad is going to be in a reserve game this weekend and then back to first team training

This is after the Prozac.

 

[Willo]

This is after the Prozac.

I accept that on occasions my rhetoric is delivered in sepulchral tones.
I certainly cannot be filed under 'Panglossian' on HOL.

Possibly veering more toward Eeyore than Pollyanna.

I have no recollection of being referred to as a "Donkey" however I am informed that on an occasion when my alcoholic consumption was somewhat excessive someone called me a "Sozzled old walrus". Charming.
Should we beat Macclesfield I suspect my tipples in a 'Public House' in the evening will be imbibed with relish.
Time to slumber,goodnight.

Donkeys do have one advantage in life but I meant more in attitude.

 

[Ex Dubai Eagle]

That’s slightly disappointing, I would have liked them to get a rest.

Guessing something like this then.

Benitez

Devenny Canvot King (or is riad fit enough) Guehi Sosa

Rodney Wharton

Johnson uche pino

Kids and a couple of first team on the bench.

The fact that our next game isn't until we play Sunderland away next weekend probably influenced some of the selections

Macclesfield has an Opera House?! 😳

In Italy every town has one, Die Meistersinger von Macclesfield.

And we've not ever played Macclesfield before so no history to contradict.

You have never encountered the phrase,.."Hung like a.... ? " 😀

I have FH (never directly though) but it was just a reference to the glass completely empty and smashed on the ground content of some posts than Willo's inability to wear a kilt.

Weather forecast is dry and sunny for Macclesfield. It's still going to be incredibly cold.
And other areas en-route might still be affected. A lot of trains were cancelled from Birmingham yesterday, so check roads and rail before you leave.
You don't want to get stuck in the back end of nowhere like this guy,.. attached. His boss wanted proof why he couldn't get into work yesterday.

 

[Foxy82]

If you have a spare 30 minutes...

Highlights how much we miss Eze

Kidnapped by a Dalek?

 

[MancunianEagle]

With Romain out on loan hoping to see Drakes-Thomas playing today exciting young player who looks like he isnt scared to take risks

How disappointing
