February 20, 20178 yr Author Apologies for the fruitful language regarding to the Lincoln City quarter-final post. I hope that Sutton do make a good account of themselves tonight against Arsenal. I think it will be 4-0 to Arsenal. Leicester have complained to the FA about the treatment of their supporters following their 5th round match against Millwall which has been marred by 'fans' running onto the pitch at the end of the game.
February 20, 20178 yr The quarter finals are going to be very competitive this year. 5 of the 8 quarter finalists will be from the Premier League's top six so it's gonna be harder than ever to win the competition this time around. Chelsea is the hardest possible team that we could have been drawn against but we can beat them, I think the winner of the FA Cup will come from that match regardless.
February 20, 20178 yr Comfortable win for Arsenal 2-0, especially on a dodgy pitch, they face Lincoln, I think Arsenal could easily get into the semis
February 20, 20178 yr I think Arsenal could easily get into the semis Even though you're most likely going to be right, I do hope this comment comes back to bite you on the ass! ;)
February 21, 20178 yr Lincoln have absolutely no chance against Arsenal. By the time the QFs come around, Arsenal will be long gone from the Champions League. They have a real good shot at winning the trophy, as the QF tie is effectively a by. I'm sure Lincoln will put a good shift in, but cannot see anything other than an Arsenal win at all. And I am glad Arsenal won tonight. Absolute ball bag of a show conducted by Sutton, all of it contrived for the cameras with the Sun's help. Feel sorry for their genuine fans.

February 21, 20178 yr Arsenal are certain to get to the semi finals, there's no doubt that. But getting to the semi finals counts for nothing if you don't go on to win the trophy, all Man United fans know this from 2005, 2007, 2009 & 2011! I thought Sutton played quite well and had some good chances to score, they definitely did themselves proud. The substitute goalkeeper eating a burger was really funny :lol: Edited February 21, 20178 yr by Houdini
February 21, 20178 yr Author The substitute goalkeeper was trending on worldwide, Wayne Shaw after eating a pie and appeared on Good Morning Britain just. At least Sutton weren't thrashed by Arsenal. It was quite a boring game to be honest.
February 21, 20178 yr Author The substitute goalkeeper was trending on worldwide, Wayne Shaw after eating a pie and appeared on Good Morning Britain just. At least Sutton weren't thrashed by Arsenal. It was quite a boring game to be honest. And now that pie-eating is been investigated by the Gambling Commission over a breach of betting regulations.
February 21, 20178 yr :huh: The whole pie stunt was orchestrated by The Sun. It was PR, great PR I might add, but 'magic of the FA Cup' was it bollocks. Sutton United sold out to The Sun, I can't blame them, but they allowed The Sun to basically manipulate the whole event so that they could raise their reach. Awful. No wonder the guy has resigned, he basically admitted committed fraud! I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing. Bit guess who was on the end of it all.. The Sun!!
February 21, 20178 yr Author Shame that overshadowed Sutton's match with Arsenal basically a 'novelty bet' from The Sun. He said he was aware of the offer.

It's unfortunate that this is getting more of the headlines now but it is still funny to see whenever it gets shown on TV.
February 21, 20178 yr I see what you mean now. It's unfortunate that this is getting more of the headlines now but it is still funny to see whenever it gets shown on TV. It's funny, but it's completely staged. So there's no authenticity about it and it was done for the cameras. Like I say, the winners here are The Sun. The losers are everyone connected with Sutton United..
February 22, 20178 yr Middlesbrough V Huddersfield/Man City (Sat 1215£ Arsenal V Lincoln City (Sat 1730) Both on BT Sport Spurs V Milwall (2pm Sunday I expect crowd trouble) Chelsea v Man Utd (Mon 1945) Both BBC Interesting pics there. I thought the BBC might have tried to get the Lincoln game.
February 22, 20178 yr That's a horrific time slot for the united game with a R16 Europa league game Thursday
February 22, 20178 yr The BBC knew what they were doing by putting the Chelsea vs Man United match on a Monday night. Viewing figures will be at it's highest on a Monday night because more people are likely to be at home then, this is the same reason why they put Sutton vs Arsenal on a Monday night as well. This is probably going to fire up Chelsea's fans even more and give them more of an advantage.

I thought the BBC might have tried to get the Lincoln game. I wouldn't be surprised if there was crowd trouble or a pitch invasion between Spurs v Millwall at least it's not on the Monday evening.
March 3, 20178 yr Author Video refereeing could possibly be introduced as a trial in next season's FA Cup. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39157887 Interesting, we'll wait and see what happens there.
March 11, 20178 yr Author Full credit to Lincoln for their performance in the first half against Arsenal.
