Today we are all Grimsbians.

Grimsby Town boss David Artell speaking to ITV on how he sums up the night: "A long penalty shoot-out. I said to Sean halfway through the shoot-out, first round last year, we beat Bradford 9-8 on penalties. I said to him before the penalty shoot-out started, look, what's a penalty shoot-out? It's a technical thing, it's a psychological thing. You've got brilliant techniques. We work hard every day to get better. It's a thing above the front door. Another chance to get better and this group want to get better. The techniques are fine, they're going to feel nervous walking up, butterflies. Don't worry about that. "This is an accumulation of 15 months, 18 months, all encompassed in one night. Look, they're an unbelievable team, Manchester United. They've got an unbelievable manager and they're on the right track, you can see that. "We've got an unbelievable group of players as well, who want to play for this football club, live in the area and want to get better every day."

Well done to Grimsby

Wow, congrats Grimsby. Didn’t Man U just spend a ton of money on players, or am I thinking of a different team? I don’t follow footie as much as I used to.

75m for a player taking the 10th penalty

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

62m and 65m+ for each of the two that missed penalties as well

Sesko turned down some good offers to go through this. The guy must be a grade A masochist.

Well it is a unique experience to be beaten by a league 2 team 😝

This is going to be another amazing season (grabs popcorn 🍿)

It looks like I’ve missed another generational hatewatch.

When I checked the score and noticed they equalized in the final minutes, I thought it was over. Then I check again like an hour later and somehow those madmen actually did it.

Sesko genuinely looks like he'll go 007, completely lost
