It started whe Man Utd were given permission not to play in the FA Cup because they were going out to Brazil to play in the Super Cup.

Playing different formations and new training and tactical methods started after the Hungarians kicked our arrses in 1953.

I find myself in the unfortunate position of agreeing with that Frog.

But also all the shyte around the premier league sponsored by the shytey sky etc.

And one of the worsteist things is that there's loads of proper footy fans who PAY the ****ey sky etc and make the imbalance between poncey premier league shyte and real footy worserer.

I watched an interview with Martinez who won the cup with Wigan. He said that Wigan fans had said to him that they've won the FA Cup which to them was more important than the prem survival every season. It was a fantastic acheivement for Wigan which the fans wouldn't change for the world.
