No all premiership ties which is good and both Sutton and Lincoln get good pay days

I will never forget when Cov played Chelsea. Ray was a season ticket holder so was guaranteed one ticket. He queued for 9 hours to get another for Ben....who supported Chelsea.

Indeed. Adding insult to injury... Drogba (Ben's favourite player) scored the first goal. Ben, trying hard to be a 'Sky Blue Kid' for the day, was heard to say OH NO!...(whilst inwardly jumping for joy!)

I've just looked and there was over 31,000 at that match.
Must be one of their biggest ever gates

And now we are losing games left right and centre and getting ready to drop to League Two

Hmmm. Premiership sides not facing each other this time. We'd all like Sutton to win but a goal will be applauded after Arsenal put several past them (going on current form). Wolves might throw Chelsea off given last weekend so could be an interesting tie as would Blackburn v Man U.

But which tv channel gets what game is what I want to know!

Sutton have got the draw they wanted, any of the big teams at home but they will be looking forward to the TV fees. Shame Lincoln didn't get one of the premier big boys....maybe next round

Behave!

They will be getting a few £'s from this, and no doubt a full ground too (5,000 capacity).

Watching the Sutton fans on TV when the draw was announced was brilliant. Apparently a couple of their players went through the Arsenal academy...

Yeah I recognise a couple of names (Eastmond and Monakana).

They would have preferred it to be away for them but still a good draw.

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

A tie at the Emirates would have been preferable but the TV income will be enough to allow them to invest in the club for the next 10 years and who knows, maybe they will get the best of both worlds and somehow get a replay out of the tie. Unlikely but there have been shocks galore already this year.

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

MI5 — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 15:47:28 GMT

A replay would be awesome for them.

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Draw

This is their cup final certainly.

Since Charlton have not been very Athletic since 1947 I'll have to begrudginly cheer on Arsenal whilst secretley hoping for an upset.

Huddersfield have just gone 1-0 away to ManC in their 5th round replay.
It won't end like that, I'm sure, but you should have seen the look on their faces!
