It seemed to me that Cook was having a go about the tackle to defend his players and Pep was just giving his side of it. The whole thing looked worse because of everyone else trying to keep them apart. Nail on the head. Tonight was a throw back to the old days, you had riot police, managers arguing, fans invading the pitch, tough tackling throughout the game etc Exactly what's been missing in the modern game, long may it continue.

I simply said it was a terribly dull set of fixtures and games on Saturday and Sunday, bar Rochdales late equaliser, and that empty seats galore and team selections added to the attitude of it all. I’m bemused as to why criticising the competition offends you so greatly I have to say. People criticise the EPL, CL, SPL etc all the time on here and no one takes it this badly. Everyone can have an opinion

I suppose it is a sense of justice as no one saw that result coming
fair play to the BBC for their game selection in this round

How can you not love the FA Cup though RB.

No it wasn’t thanks
Still doesn’t make Saturdays games any better, hence I made my comments regarding those

Wigan's 3rd consecutive win against City in the FA Cup I've just read.

Max Power (can't help but think of the Simpsons when I hear his name) has been decent too. The amount of people giving out about the FA Cup on here this weekend

It was certainly better than rival players and managers hugging and kissing each other in the tunnel before and after anyway. Bit of a throwback
