The F A Cup.

It's the first week in January, and it's the F A Cup again
it still gives a thrill after many years, especially for the smaller teams,
so best of luck to all, and will their be any surprises today ?

FA Cup 3rd round weekend is worse than International breaks.

Love the Cup games. Would be delighted if Chelsea won the FA Cup this season. We've lost too many domestic finals recently

Important for winning mentality of players

Finally a goal for Fulham. This game has been back and forth all game. Second half extra time coming up.
A shame for Bristol really should have won it in regular time if not for bad finishing.

Used to be a great competition.

Much prefer the semi finals at neutral venues.

New Wembley has no soul either.

No more cup final songs.

No helicopters following the coaches to the stadium.

The good old days

Holding the Semi Finals at Wembley was a retrograde step.

Fa cup is the inevitable loser as Europe and international take precedent.

The league cup as a natural advantage of being early in season but is an efl hang over competition that has zero real merit bar being the plaything of the oil dopers.

If the fa were serious they would reformat the fa cup but the whole thing about the local club starting in the 1st qualifying round etc and playing right through somehow to 3rd round means they will never move it earlier in the year and save it.

They have ruined the showpiece final aspect and now the last day of prem has far more interest to "big clubs" and broadcasters.

I can remember the big build ups and excitement of those days but it's long since gone.
