I think this season though has been the worst one ever for managers picking weaker 'reserve' teams. But if the Fa arent going to do anything about it, it will only get worse.
Semi finals are played there to pay back the cost of building the stadium.

The FA Cup is a joke. Last nights game the pundits were creaming themselves over what a great game it was. Basically it was an ordinary game, very much in the bland Premiership mould. Only Costa's antics made it just about watchable (whilst doing something else on the tablet/lap top)
