The majority of Millers fans trash the FA cup all year round, correctly in my view, because it has long ago lost the magic it once undoubtedly had.
It reminds me of when we won the auto glass....yes it was an ok day out but it left me feeling a bit empty inside. It could not compare with winning promotion . It was the crumbs tossed to the smaller clubs to keep them quiet while the fat cats continued to feast on the choicest meats.
Can anyone remember when John Terry got sent off for Chelsea in the Champions League semi and missed the final which Chelsea won ?Well Terry jumped on the podium at the final whistle and grabbed the trophy. He tried his best to celebrate but deep down he knew it didn't count. He missed the final and no stupid dance with the trophy could replace that.
I imagine most of our supporters if they were really honest must feel like this after the cup draw. They will book the mini bus, have too much to drink, put on a silly wig, try their best to sing as loud as they can but it won't cover up the fact that the FA cup is a sham.
It will dawn on them after 20 minutes when City are 3-0 up and they will be stood at the Etihad with smudged face paint on, wondering why they got so excited about.
