Too much football on TV, the lack of 'surprise' underdog finalists, the devaluing of it in favour of the Champions League, plus we're all old and cynical. The FA Cup magic is gone, gone, gone.
I could say the same about a lot of sports. Used to wait for Test matches and watch them avidly, now its wall to wall live coverage from anywhere with games that mean nothing to me. Same for Golf, used to wait for the Open and watch every shot, etc... Tennis, Rugby Union, all available on demand 24/7, all hyped well beyond their value or relevance, none of them worth watching.
If it wasn't for United, I'd give up with sport altogether and not miss it a bit.
