    Spuds 2-2, Wycombe have blown it. Reminds me of us being 0-2 up at Man City a few seasons back. I knew we wouldn't win even though we were two goals up.

    Lincoln are beating Brighton 2-1 now!!

    4-3 Spuds, right at the death. Poor Wycombe.

    Yet again a late, late spurs win ... I just hope the drug testers catch them soon, would be interesting.

    Delighted Liverpool went out. If you don't take it seriously and respect the FA cup then this is what happens.

    Unlucky Wycombe, but bloody well done Lincoln, let hope we get past Millwall and draw them. It would be a great tribute to GT

    Klopp didn't learn his lesson - Spurs just about got away with it!

    I feel Newcastle and maybe Brighton won't be that fussed about going out albeit the score lines were a bit embarrassing but credit to the Imps and U's.

    Nice draw for Sutton - not so for Lincoln.


    All the top teams away from home which the TV boys will like.

    How on earth had the FA managed to keep Arsenal, Spurs, City, United and Chelsea apart again ?

    16 teams in the draw, what are the chances that the 5 biggest teams are kept apart ? It's slowly becoming about getting the bigger teams as far as they can for the far east and sponsorship market.

    About time they used a lottery type machine to make the draw

    Six good ties in there with five potential upsets I would say.

    If only we had put in a half decent performance and beat Millwall, I would have fancied our chances of progressing through the next round as well, home to Derby or Leicester :doh: Oh well "C'est La Vie"

    Would we have been the same ball number as Millwall?

    Yes. Round 3 allocations are alphabetical for new entrants and then every subsequent round the numbers are allocated based on where you came in the previous draw. Millwall v Watford was the 10th fixture drawn so the winner is ball 10 in Round 5.

    Even before they scored I thought Lincoln were the better side. Brilliant performance.

    I was surprised when Dyche didn't complain about their goal scorer celebrating

    Saw the Lincoln game on MOTD, Barton should have had 2 reds and only got a yellow, he even tried to get a Lincoln player sent off, utter scumbag. The stamp on the foot was missed by the ref, certain to get a 3 match ban for it, not sure whether anything will come about for the slap as that's what he got booked for.

    FA would love Lincoln or Millwall to get to the semi as part of the romance but will hope 2 of the top teams get to the final.

    Well a big top 4 tie, London derby, tricky away trip for MC potentially and a win win for Lincoln - either big money spinner or all non league clash.

    delighted to see the FA have managed to put one big team against a smaller team in 3 ties.

    Bizarre how Spurs, Arsenal, City all managed to avoid each other and draw a lesser side.

    It's about time the draw was made by a machine instead of being manipulated to suit the sponsors and TV audiances

    Arsenal fans are probably thinking they've been given a bye into the semifinals with 2 games against National League sides. Might as well be, the jammy bar stewards.

    Sutton really holding their own and had good chances.

    Arsenal 2 up though which is all they will care about.

    I see Sutton have managed to totally distract from their whole amazing cup run for the sake of a pie. Top work.
