    Back in the day for us old foggies the FA Cup was one of a very few televised live games,of course we looked forward to it.

    Nowadays live football games are rammed down your throats daily.

    If you had to eat steak everyday you would soon tire of it.

    I've always maintained winning the FA cup should give you the last champions league place there should be more kudos attached to winning the cup than finishing 4th. All the teams would take it seriously then no playing Man Utd reserves in the 3rd round full 1st team out at forest green that's what people want to see

    Used to love the all day experience of cup final day I'd be glued to it all day,the final nail in the coffin was moving it from 3 o'clock I've got all on picking the remote up to turn it on now,never thought I'd see the day when that happened

    Bit of a poor game that was,Man U too slow at getting the ball forward.

    Phil Jones is going to get roasted at the WC,prefer Smalling to Jones although ne's not much better.

    think it said it all about southgate a few months ago when he stated that phil jones was the best centre back in england he isnt even the best centre back at manure cant believe hes picked him instead of smalling who is far and away a better player imo

    Well I watched it and I probably enjoyed it more than most thanks to those nice people at skybet who offered 16/1 on hazard and rashford having at least 2 shots each on target that's another 80 smackers in the pot

    No wonder you can afford to buy ice creams at sky high prices,
