Do we have to watch a load of sh*te games like Chelsea reserves V Derby etc.. now all this weekend?
 Used to be good in the late 80's and early 90's but the FA cup has become a boring tournament of almost no importance. The romance of the cup and all that bollox...Lower clubs going nuts when they knock out Aston Villa's U-16 team etc.. |

the FA should have the balls to award a CL place to the winners or to the runners up if the winners are in the CL , that would bring back some serious interest. |

The first time the Devil made me do it. The second time I did it on my own.

Nail on the head. Would be much better to see another actual competition winner make it into the champions league than a 4th place finisher in the league. The cartel of the big clubs in the Premier League will never let this happen though I'm guessing.

Watching BT the other day they were advertising this and one of the commentators (might have been Ian Darke) goes "This will be a cracking tie", I had to laugh as there was no way he could have been serious.

In fairness Wigan winning it last year was what it's all about and will hopefully be a catalyst for more upsets

Does the FA Cup and the EPL not have different governing bodies ?

Last year was probably the best FA Cup of my lifetime.
Mk Dons V Wimbledon Liverpool only beating Mansfield 2-1 with a Suarez hand Brentford 2-2 Chelsea Oldham beating Liverpool 3-2 And then Wigan going and winning the thing against City with a late goal in the final. All magical cup moments. |

Apparently this is the 42nd consecutive time that Man U have been televised in a live FA cup game.
Not surprising given their popularity, but I disagree somewhat with the OP. Although equally I've no desire to see the PL teams line out their reserves, I would like to see the romance of the cup been exploited more with the likes of Rochdale v Leeds or similar been shown instead.

I hate FA weekend for an entirely different reason as I cannot really get any bets on with the clarity that league games sometimes provide, as I never know until KO which sides are going to play their reserves.
F'instance, Stoke V Leicester may well see an almost full strength Stoke side against a second string Championship side, as promotion may be by far Liecester's biggest priority. Then again, It could be vice versa. Will be keeping me shekels in the pocket this weekend.

Get yourself on twitter, all starting 11's usually in an hour before KO

The greatest football competition in the world.
The magic of the Cup (it should always be capitalised) never, ever lets you down.

Flying over in the morning to see the champions play MK Dons absolutely gutted I couldnt make the final last year! Playing much better football under Uwe still unbeaten in the league under him three clean sheets on the trot. Few lucky draws and might go on another cup run come on you Latics
