How Twitter reacted to crazy day of football
By Early Doors (original post on Eurosport)
Saturday, January 24 will live long in the memory of football fans after a stunning set of results in the FA Cup.
Chelsea lost 4-2 at home to Bradford - BRADFORD! - while Manchester City were beaten 2-0 at home by Middlesbrough and Tottenham were also on the receiving end of a shock loss to Leicester City.
Oh, and Marouane Chamakh and Yaya Sanogo both scored as Crystal Palace beat Southampton.
Here's what Twitter made of a simply remarkable day in football...
As the shock results came through across the country, thoughts turned to a couple of managers and teams who weren't in action.
