Get inā¦Fuck off Dirty Leeds
Great result for Sutton. Them and Lincoln are both in the last 16!
Sutton at home please draw Gods.
Before the 4th round, the FA Cup was rather short on cup upsets, but itās more than made up for it this weekend, wow! Fantastic effort by Sutton. Hope they get rewarded with a big tie next round. Maybe they can go against us 
Apparently itās the first time ever that two Non League sides have made the final 16 in the same season.
One more upset to comeā¦Come on Wiganā¦
This fa cup has brought some off the magic back to it would love to see a lower league get to the final tho instead off 2 big teams
If we get Lincoln at home, Man U get Man City and spurs get Chelsea that would be about the best draw.
But weāll probably get Chelsea or spurs and Mourinho will get Sutton or Lincoln and moan that he has too many fixtures.
So many upset today! I love the F.A. Cup!
Ive done the draw and we get Sutton 
And mine is less of a fix than the real drawā¦

I still/again want Tottenham vs Arsenal
sorrynotsorry
I think though that Man City / United, Tottenham, Chelsea and us will all be kept apart and will be in the quarter finals.
Lincoln and Sutton will get draws they donāt really want, like Middlesbrough away or Wolves away.
Easy for Manure.
Good to see a couple of rank outsiders make the final 16 of the cup.
The best draw for Lincoln or Sutton is Lincoln or Sutton.
Is it? That wouldnāt be very lucrative. Iād imagine that both teams will have their fingers crossed for a nice trip to the Emirates or Old Trafford.

I guess even Ramsey would have a great game against them :ramsey:
But for one of them it would mean a quarter final fixture.
I canāt remember the last team from non league reached that round.
Saying that, I wouldnāt mind either of them if we drew them in the next round at home.

They donāt NEED to make the Fa Cup more lucrative in order to āfix itāā¦actually itās not even broken.
Cupās working fine as it is, gives big clubs a chance at squad development, simultaneously gives smaller clubs a better chance of knocking them out and advancing further, with the excitement that brings.
Glory of the cup is alive and well as far as iām concerned.

Sutton Unitedās 45 year-old reserve Goalkeeper Wayne Shaw is in the 5th round of the FA Cup. Thatās why youāve got to love this competition.

I forget which journalist it was that mentioned it, but in short he said that the cup has been romanticised so much that itās impossible for it to live up to the hype. Besides, the real money is in the Premier League and European wide competitions that has effectively made the cup 2nd/3rd tier to many.
Also, I saw Piers Morgan (
) on TV this morning stating that the FA ruined the cup when they let Manchester United not participate in the 199./2000 season in order to play the Club World Cup. I canāt actually believe that happened haha.
