I never thought the day would come when I say well done Lincoln for becoming the first non league team to make the last eight of the FA Cup since 1914. Fantastic stuff.
Indeed, and I'm hearing that Arsenal's offer to give Sutton all the gate proceeds has been refused by the FA, who really do know F*** All!!!Small clubs need money from these ties as the PL doesn't look after us...
I'll await the FA investigation into Joey Barton's off the ball incident and laughable feigning injury and expect the full 3 match retrospective ban!
Fantastic result, well done Lincoln! The magic of the FA cup giant killing at its greatest!
And just seen Danny Crowley on the BBC breakfast sofa this morning, and what a lovely, unassuming and humble guy he comes across as. He was saying about his career as a PE teacher at Fitzwymark, his experience as a part time non league player and as the manager at Concord Rangers and then Braintree, where they made the play offs last year. When you remember he and Nicky have only been full time this season, it's a remarkable achievement.
And if the FAs stance on Arsenal not being allowed to give the proceeds to Sutton is true, just proves how broken the system is, and the FA should be hanging their heads in shame!
If he plays a team that are not very familiar with playing together on a surface that is not familiar then anything is possible....Love Sutton to pull of a shock - surely that's the end of Wanger?
Think is, I think they'll leak an early goal and get battered.
As much as I would love it, I can't see anything other than a 6 nil loss for Sutton. Arsenal will put a good side out as they will be desperate to stay in the cup as its one of their only chances of winning anything this year.
The Cowleys are doing an outstanding job there, could be on for the league & cup double this season! :happy:

Agreed. He'd be mad to not put out a full first team.
Depends on what is more important to him and the club; winning the FA Cup or the "Champions" League for next season. To me they're not mutually exclusive, but (given previous seasons) he seems to think they are.
