I think that despite OP trying to WUM he has got a point in this specific article.
What do you mean mons? the two most recent league champions pitted together!
They did it in the Scotch cup as well.
I do wonder if someone at the FA has a big bet on City winning the Quadruple or at worst a domestic Treble
i was a senior guy at the best consultancy firm in teh world-we had a rule-where big money is involved, the outcome is too important to be left to chance.
so by definition all big money outcomes have to be fixed in favour of the incumbent-stock markets, horse racing, football (remember Italy a few yrs ago), etc etc
what are the odds? a trillion to one?
We played Chelsea in the last 8 last season at the Bridge. Sharticle.
How much more money does it make them having four big sides in the semi finals?
I'd guess the semis get decent figures no matter what the games are, whereas now they have no decent quarter final ties and people will probably only watch their own sides.
Doesnt the FA cup final always sell out?
It’s not about selling out the stadium allocation. It’s about selling the TV rights to world. Top teams will sell more for the semis and final. Would the final FA cup sell the TV more if it was Wigan vs Rochdale ?
Grass routes at its worse state for years

Agreed, they just turn into mudbaths underfoot as soon as there's a bit of rain. The FA should just concrete over the lot of them and be done with it.

This
The money from Wembley's tickets is nothing compared to the money generated by the TV right to the others countries.
The 3 Wembley games last years has probably generated more than they could have actually dreamed off and I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 big games this season too.
Do the TV rights get negotiated and sold abroad for every individual round then? Genuine question. I would have thought it was sorted at the start of the tournament?
