I do agree though it’s a shocking decision from the FA all to protect the pampered Premier players already on huge money - having training facilities most clubs would die for - having personal fitness coaches etc. Perhaps they could miss international matches but hey that’s not going to happen!
Sorry, Al, I have to disagree with you. If Coventry win the FA Cup, apart from it being a quite remarkable achievement, they will have won a major competition; yes ‘won’ it. Whereas Spurs, if the finish fourth, will have won nothing, regardless of how good they will have been to get to fourth; they will be the fourth finishing losers.
