Live Match Discussion 2016/17

I wonder if Lincoln City want a glory day out at Old Trafford in the sixth round, or maybe a more winnable game against Millwall.

Away at Sutton (or Arsenal)

So it could be an all non league quarter final, though I suppose in reality the Red Imps will be visiting the Emirates.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They must have made some serious coin out of this run. Three televised games (all the QFs will be on) and 40% of the receipts from a full house at Arsenal.

Lincoln City are in very reasonable financial shape anyway, but this cup run has taken them to another level. If they get promoted back to the football league they will have the financial clout to make a serious attempt at promotion to league one. Exciting times ahead for the Imps, and deservedly so.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I really hope so. A trip to the Emirates is going to top things off nicely.

 

[James]

As much as I want it to be Sutton vs Lincoln in the Quarter-finals... I reckon Walcott will end up ripping Sutton apart.

It's a shame to see Sutton being sponsored by The Sun for this game.

£1.5m according to the Chairman on 5 live today

Lansbury just helped the ball into his own net to put Newcastle 2-0 up against Villa!

Sutton's sub keeper :icon_lol:

 

[Parkins left foot]

Sutton's sub keeper :icon_lol:

Once he knew he wasn't coming on then he tucked into a pie immediately :icon_biggrin:

 

[Lupo]

Kodje limps off injured and Scott Hogan now being stretchered off. Carl Darlow booted the ball out straight away such was the injury. Villa have already used all 3 subs

It looked a very nasty injury. Hopefully it is not as bad as it looked.

 

[Lupo]

He looked in a lot of distress and took a while to get him off

I think there were some fans in the Sutton crowd whos whole purpose of the night was to get a selfie with Arsenal players once the final whistle was blown.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I wonder how many tickets Lincoln City will get at Arsenal? It will be a fantastic day for the Imps and their supporters.

Think that's it's 15% so should get 9000 or so

I've seen photos of him at the bar at halftime.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Seeing as how Sutton's average attendance is 1518 then 9000 will bring almost half the town in (& I worked there for 3 years so can be certain of what support they would usually get)

 

[Langers]

Went to Stourbridge tonight - they lost 1-0 to Warrington in an awful game.

And I'll think twice about criticising Championship refs - fucking hell, this guy was just amazing. :icon_lol:

Really bad result for Stourbridge - they'd have gone 2nd if they won and the top 6 is very very tight. A game in hand wasted.
