FA Cup 2016-17

Well done Sutton!

Championship clubs sticking their ressies and youth players out get all they deserve!
Congrats Sutton!

What a year this has been in the FA Cup. Swindon, Yeovil, Walsall, Gillingham, Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers, Oldham, Northampton, Ipswich, AFC Wimbledon, Brighton and Leeds all beaten by non league opposition this season.

Have 2 non league teams ever reached round 5 together before? I can't remember it happening.
Magnificent performance from Sutton, didn't see anything wrong with the disallowed goal so should of won by more.

 

[The Mustard Tiger]

What a crazy FA Cup we're having this year. I can't remember one quite like it. Interesting to see that so many upper tier teams are putting out second string sides. I'm all for giving younger players a chance but it seems a lot of managers are treating the competition with contempt and not taking it seriously.

 

[Greenacres]

So far Andy H, it is possible that Lincoln and Sutton might add to that tally!

Wouldn't it be ironic if they drew each other in the next round.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Did we just beat Leeds?

What a day. I've seen us lose cup games against Alton, I've been part of an away support of 15 at Woodford. I've seen us relegated into the Ryman league. I never thought I'd see a day like today. 12 heros in Amber (well one of those was in green). Paul Doswell I love you

 

[Boz]

Brilliant result for Sutton.

I hope both NL teams get a decent draw next, but especially Sutton, who don't have the financial strength of Lincoln.

 

[Super_horns]

Well done Sutton.

 

[Minstermen central]

Loved that in pub with some Leeds celebrated that goal like YCFC beating Luton at Wembley.
What price for Sutton vLincoln

These are the days you relish

Almost makes up for losing against clubs no one has ever heard of like FGR,Eastleigh and Carshalton

Welcome

Congrats Sutton!

So Sutton are now just 2 wins away from going to Wembley for an FA Cup semi final.

Not bad for a part time team.

I don't want to put a downer on things Sutton fans, but why was the suspended Dario Gradi a special guest today?

How dare you. EVERYONE has heard of Carshalton.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Played against Leeds for us in 1970

People do need to be taught about the ultimate evil

We're making it a Wembley treble as we also plan to win the FA Trophy

 

[genesimmons]

Fair play Sutton, just realised the game was on Freeview which is disappointing but ah well!

Great stuff for them and Lincoln, doing the Conference proud. First time post-war that there's been two non leaguers in the 5th round

There's a brill account on Twitter called sport on the box let's you know which channel has what that's how I knew about this game, @sportonthebox

 

[genesimmons]

I think the biggest praise should get to Sutton a part time squad doing what they have done is amazing. Let's have Lincoln V Sutton in next round and no doubt break more records

I'm aware of that, but he's suspended pending an investigation into sexual abuse...

Bit inappropriate, don't you think?

The allegation is that he was naive rather than a nonce himself though I think.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Indeed I haven't seen anything that suggests that Dario was a nonce. Plus the whole not actually being convicted thing ( yet) of course

 

[Bendubz]

Massive congrats Sutton, all non-league final perhaps?

 

[Luke Imp]

G'won Sutton!

 

[Jemfy]

Bloody hell, first Lincoln and now Sutton. All that's left is for one of you two to start knocking out premier league teams!

Nearly £250k to be on TV in the next round!... Best of luck with the draw from that lottery!

 

[Davidimp]

Then a share of the gate money, manure were charging £46 today....

Seems like the FA blocked the BBC showing us, as they requested, to show Man Utd!

So @suttonunited @LincolnCity_FC @OUFCOfficial cause upsets in the @EmiratesFACup and again the main Sunday match on @BBC is @ManUtd
