The Emirates FA Cup 2016/17

[Lineker]

Wycombe at home. That'll do nicely.

[DavidMarrio]

If we get past Plymouth I'm relatively happy with that draw. 

In terms of games for TV...this round has been a bit shit. 

[stokeriño]

Brentford at home. If we could beat them 4-0 again that would be nice.

[Baddar]

Well all the big boys should advance. Last 16 draw could be tasty.

City have the toughest match, potentially away against Palace but should still go through.

[stokeriño]

I dunno, Arsenal away at probably-Southampton isn't bad.

[Baddar]

Forgot about that one. Those SHOULD be two of the tv matches but lol, Man Utd are bound to be on at some point that weekend. 

[9 to 5]

Quite a decent if dull tie for us.

[MDK]

Leeds are doing their best to keep the FA Cup Magic alive

[Matt]

Kinda hope it stays 1-1 tbh. Jansson only misses one league game then.

Since Fifa have essentially shrugged their shoulders over the whole Matip situation Liverpool are reportedly considering playing him against Plymouth.

This, in theory, means that Liverpool could get thrown out of the FA Cup. However, the club does not see it as a risk because Matip had made himself unavailable for selection for the AFCON from the outset and considers himself retired from international football.

Is there a TL;DR version of this story? Because I assumed that if you were retired from international football, what is the agro here?

Seems to me that, because he can't play until Cameroon sanction it (because they named him in their squad despite his 'retirement'), Cameron are just going to play silly buggers to piss him/Liverpool off and FIFA aren't doing anything to resolve the situation.

Please do play him, then get thrown out to prolong Plymouth's F.A. Cup run as it might help our title race against them.

[DavidMarrio]

FIFA are so fucking shit at their job. I mean they've basically gone "Oh yeh we know what the rules are but we aren't going to tell you anything until you may break anything:

Fuck them. Should just play him. He's been retired for Cameroon since before he joined us 

[Baddar]

So, United haven't been picked for a televised FA Cup game for the first time in 12 years (Exeter, 2005), and their game against Wigan won't be shown unless Crystal Palace beat Bolton in the replay tonight. BBC would elect to show Bolton v Man City, providing they get through at Selhurst Park. 

Still a good chance of us being on TV then, but who fucking knows with Palace these days.

The little Graham Taylor intro they did for the FA Cup match was nice. Never realised he managed Lincoln. At 27 years of age!

[MDK]

Late drama! Lincoln score in the last minute of the game! Arnold rounds the Ipswich goalkeeper, takes it past him as cool as a cucumber, leaving Dean Gerken in a pickle!

[DavidMarrio]

What an assist by Marriott.  What a guy...great surname too

[Bobfoc]

Lincoln were the better team over the course of two matches. And Sutton are in the Fourth Round too. What a night.
