[JimmyV66]

Wigan do it again and knock Man City out of the cup.

Arsenal's FA Cup to lose now.

Do you still find the FA Cup appealing?
For me it really has lost its appeal, well apart from when we are in it. Years gone by I would watch the final regardless who was in it but nowadays it passes me by without to much of a thought.
No idea why, maybe its to do with my love of the game has dwindled somewhat or it could be from when man u decided to go to Brazil, either way it just don't do it for me any more

"Do you still find the FA Cup appealing?"

Yep love it. Greatest Cup competion in the world. Prefer it to the World Cup, Champs league, Euro's and Europa each and every time.

I hate three of the Semi Final teams with a passion this year but the fact that there is a league 1 team, championship team who also happen to be the holders and a newly promoted prem team making up 3 of the 4 remaining teams just shows how the FA Cup remains the best.

Just a crying shame that fat Sam has zero respect for it.


A few weeks back Radio 5 live was talking about teams who field weakened teams in the FA Cup and West Ham and Villa got more than a fair few mentions and i have to agree with several callers who said we should have been fined and deducted points.

What Allardyce did against Forest was a total disgrace. That had been any other team i would have called for them to be heavily fined and deducted league points. We should have been imho.



PS, always thought Manchester United were forced into

top 4 do what we do really, just that their B team is better thats all.

Not really. We played 8 youth team players and our entire bench was made up of youth players that had not even 1 minute of first eam experiance between them.

Allardyce deliberately threw the game and both he and West Ham should have been punished.

Had we been deducted 5,6 or more points by the FA and Prem aswell a heavy fine i would have seen it as fair.

Back in the day F A Cup final tickets were as hard to come by as rocking horse manure. These days you only have to look at the rows of empty seats, particularly in the earlier rounds to realise many fans aren't that interested. Until the later rounds at least.

Even Arsenal (and if they don't win the bloody thing this year there'll be questions asked in the House) had loads of tickets left over for their tie against Everton on Saturday. And they're probably as desperate as anyone to get something in their trophy cabinet t

Potentially a Wigan v Sheff Utd/Hull Final.

What a fantastic advert for the FA Cup and I bet the sponsors will be loving it!
