FA Cup 16/17

[genome]

Sutton vs Arsenal
Burnley vs Lincoln
Fulham vs Spurs
Blackburn vs Man U
Wolves v Chelsea
Middlesbrough v Oxford
Huddersfield v Man C
Millwall v Derby/Leicester

I think they're all FA cup decent games; some chances of upsets are bigger than others.

Actually think given Wolves just beating Liverpool, that's the pick. While Lincoln, Fulham Millwall and Oxford might also bring shocks, the scalps are obviously smaller.

Tenner on all the lesser team to win in an accumulator gives you so much money it's not even funny!!!

£12,844,741 !!!!

1 down, 7 to go

Pleased to see Shaun Cummings getting the winner for Millwall. Not the greatest player to play for Reading but always liked his attitude.

+1. Felt bad for him when Gunter came in. Didn't really do anything wrong for us but got dropped.

I see Huddersfield reserves got a 0-0 with Man City reserves

Is this the right thread to say LOLeicester City or do you think they're worthy of a separate thread as they try to emulate Manchester City's relegation as defending league champions back in 1938 ?

Even funnier if they won the CL in the process

BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham have cancelled their demolishment of White Heart Lane, as Millwall are coming to do the work for free.

Does 'BREAKING NEWS' constitute something stolen from social media YESTERDAY?

Was interested to read that the last all non-league 1/4 final was between Reading and Spurs in 1901 with Spurs going on to win it and thus becoming the only non-league side to win the FA Cup.

It finished 1-1 in the first game and Spurs went on to win the replay 3-0.

Also, incidentally, we played Spurs 4 times in March 1901 6th (Western League), 16th (Southern League), 23rd & 28th (FA Cup) with 2 draws (both 1-1 and 2 wins for Spurs 1-0 and the aforementioned 3-0).

Wasn't there something fishy about that 1-1 cup draw? Have a vague recollection that the match reports of the game said Reading had a perfectly good last minute goal disallowed by the ref as both sides were regrouping for the kick off.

Didn't know that, did a really brief look for a match report but couldn't find anything.

We've been getting shit refs since 1901

Genuinely enjoyed that tie. Arsenal never really had to get out of third gear, but Sutton still managed to create a few decent chances. The pitch looked very small and Sutton defended it really well on the whole, denying Arsenal the opportunity to exploit space. Some feisty challenges. Everything except a goal for Sutton.

Sanchez is way too good for Arsenal isn't he.

I now want Arsene to leave Arsenal and watch them slide very quickly out of the top 4 and champions league football

I thought Arsenal were poor. Losing tackles, headers and misplaced passes all over the place.

Sutton played very well. Somewhat overshadowed by that clown of a reserve goalie fixing a bet for him to eat a pie live on air.

Gambling commission open investigation into Wayne Shaw eating a pie on the touchline against Arsenal in the FA Cup.

The Gambling Commission says it is investigating whether there was a breach of betting regulations during Arsenal's FA Cup win over Sutton.

Before Monday's game, a bookmaker offered odds of 8-1 that Sutton reserve goalkeeper Wayne Shaw would eat a pie on camera during the match.

The 46-year-old did so in the 83rd minute while standing by the substitutes' bench.

Shaw said after the match that the incident was "a bit of banter".

Wayne Shaw has agreed with Sutton to resign.
A silly and cynical end to a brilliant cup run.

With all the money he got from betting on him eating a pie, i guess he's not too bothered

and lets face it, he's 43 (stone) and not exactly going to play any games going forward
