So the premiership elite have been in contact with the FA and they have all come to the decision to scrap replays from the 1st round onwards which basically shafts those lower league clubs from having a potential life changing pay day should they draw at home with one of the big boys and get that pot of gold replay which would keep their struggling clubs heads above water for a good while.

Also it takes away the romance of the cup and degrades the competition somewhat in my opinion.

The main reason for this by the way is concerns for player welfare.

At the end of this Premier League season Spurs & Newcastle travel to Australia , Melbourne , for a pointless but hugely financial friendly , just 3 days after the season has ended!


Hypocritical b@stards.
