The Magic of the Cup

David Lennon | 09:26 UK time, Saturday, 3 January 2009

histon6.jpgIt's FA Cup 3rd Round Day and as the excitement mounts 5 Live is the place to be for all the build-up and the action.

This morning on Breakfast we wanted your favourite FA Cup memories and were flooded with texts and emails, and indeed after 8, calls.

Here are a few of your ideas:

"My favourite fa cup memory was- 4th of jan 2003. Shrewsbury 2- 1 Everton. That season Everton finished 5th and Shrewsbury went out off the league."

"Never mind the good memories. The worst day of my life was 1993 fa cup final replay when in the last minute of xtra time andy linighan scored a header to break my heart and that of 30,000 other Sheffield Wednesday fans. And my renault 5 gt turbo had been smashed up when i got back 2 stanmore. Gutted. Jim, Sheffield. "

"Bunked off school '54ish to watch Blyth Spartans beat Boston 5-4 in the 1st round. Saw us in 78 in the 5th round. Go Blyth. Patricia, Norfolk."

"I was 15 in 1987 when i saw coventry won the cup. My two brothers and i arrived at wembley at 7pm the night before. We played a "jumpers for goalposts" game in the wembley car park. My brother missed a penalty, the first to be missed in a Wembley final I believe. Leo in Lewes."

Keep those memories coming with your Comments. And the Transfer Rumour of the Day is that Manchester City will now make a £32m move for three top players...

The Sun reckons Manchester City manager Mark Hughes will move for two strikers and a midfielder: Roque Santa Cruz, Craig Bellamy and Scott Parker heading to Eastlands in a triple deal they hope will be done by the end of next week.

    it was back in the day when we were good, we played newcastle in a live fa
    cup game on the tele we drew so had a replay, the replay went to extra time and
    lee clark scored to knock us out. i woke up and my bro had plasters my whole
    house in lee clark images and newcastle 2, blackburn 1

    also some depressing pen shoot out defeats, one that springs to mind is west ham when hendry missed

    It is the best feeling on earth when your team gets far in the FA Cup. I have had the pleasure of watching Everton win the cup in 1995 at wembley.

    We need to beat macclesfield today and it is never easy against a team that has nothing to lose

    In France we have the same feeling with our domestic Cup (Coupe de France). But now, there's no replay, just extra time and penalty....

    Morning Shelagh and Nicholas. I see there is a longer Breakfast programme I can avoid now on FiveLive?

    Good! That'll learn you. lol

    So I was shocked to read that access to my PC and my missives to you two might be seen by - well - more than us three! My goodness. This is an outrage.

    Who do I Email - without said Email being seen?
