Money talks

I don't think it is a rule change. The FACup has been this way for over a hundred years. Only exceptional circumstances such as Covid have meant alternatives.

I totally agree with your comments and cannot understand the logic behind not wanting to win every competition we enter. Remember how the rags devalued the FA cup by not entering one year? Well some of the comments on here are on a par with those scum rag twats

The rags devalued the FA cup forever. It hss never been the same since they did that

We sack it off later in the season if we progress so we may as well go out early

Plus saves everyone a shit load of money

Pep doesn't sack off any competiton, he just overthinks them

As full a strength as possible and get through to the next round and onto the final

I find it a bit sad reading thoughts like yours regarding the FA cup.
Many clubs fans would give anything for a chance to enjoy winning it, but it seems some of ours are taking our success for granted as if it will last for ever.
The FA is the oldest cup competition in the world and I'd like our team to try their best to win it, along with every competition they enter.
These days we have a team that has a chance of winning trophies and we should make the most of it.
As I've mentioned it won't last forever.

it is getting quite pathetic and raggish some of the ditch the domestic cup comments that have appeared on this forum as title wins have built up.

I am gutted everytime we go out of the league and FA Cup, these are cherrished trophies us older berts only dreamed of for decades and no one should take them for granted

I wouldn't put the rags on such a high pedestal. Who gives a f**k if they're in it or not. It's their loss.
