They can't be an outside bet when they're 3/1 joint favourites.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they went on to win it, they have become a cup side over the last decade or so.
Joint now, but expect last 4 to be them, City, Spurs and Chelsea and would see them as the current weakest out of them, they're only joint fav as they have lincoln in this round.
 
Any way back to the streaming debate.....

What about on Soccer Saturday where the pundits watch live games and give a running commentary. Their watching matches covered by Sky. So if they can watch it at 3pm, then why don't Sky show these games
 
The streams being stopped is the usual scare stories that appear at least once a year.


Being able to watch 3pm kick offs live is fantastic.

The worry for the fa was that if all games could be viewed live, people wouldn't attend.

Pundits are a handful of people and offer a service much like radio commentators and being able to have their options wouldn't stop someone attending a game imo. But if all games could be viewed from home then a sky subscription for ports is probably cheaper than most season tickets. Especially if a bunch of mates just got one account..
 
Agreed, no City, United and Chelsea to worry about.

Why just them, what about Liverpool, Leicester, Everton, Spurs, Bournemouth & Middlesborough, the others teams you've not beaten this season 🤔😜

Enjoy your day today, it took 45+ minutes to score against a non league side, with no disrespect to Lincoln, but on your own pitch I think irrelevant of the final score, that's pretty shocking!

Sorry Fish but it looks like Sawtooth as brought you down to his level of thinking.

They won 5-0.
regardless of what minute they got the 1st
To say it's shocking is just silly.

I think for a team of Arsenals stature at their own ground against a non league side, to take 45+ minutes to score is shocking, I don't care what you think, that's my opinion.

Fair enough.
So what's your opinion on scoring 5 in the next 45?

Total lack of respect for Lincoln.

I didn't mention the clubs that on monetary terms are not bigger than Arsenal.

Like i said many times before take Chelsea and City away especially, and Arsenal would have won many more league titles.

Carry on celebrating your hollow trophies, I will wait for our next one but it will at least feel real.

They scored 4 actually (1 own goal) and was to be expected. There was never going to be a fairy tale ending, Lincoln did brilliantly getting this far but fitness and ability was going to eventually kick in. Confidence booster for Arsenal, which they'll need with a couple of tricky fixtures coming up now against the Baggies & City.

I said in my previous post 'with no disrespect to Lincoln', but as usual your selective with your quotes.

Take Chelsea & City away and you'd have been 2nd at best 😜 You don't have the winning mentality or stamina or you'd be 3rd every season now, but your not, and not even close 😂

As for waiting for them to win the league, you'll be 6ft under by then 😂

as they say was always a hiding to nothing, win 5-0 and still some want to pick holes. Its not as if Arsenal dont give you plenty to get stuck into but criticising them when they win 5-0 seems a bit desperate to me ;)

I've not criticised the eventual result, I've given an opinion that to not score in 45 minutes against a non-league team some 4 divisions lower at home, is shocking imo.

I'd say exactly the same if any other PL team playing at home against the same kind of opposition couldn't score in that time, even ourselves.

2 in the first half & 3 in the second.
That's the way to do it 😂
