FA Cup 8/9/10/11 January

Ridiculous making Villa play this tie given so many of their players have Covid. I bet if they were playing anyone else but Liverpool or rags it would be called off.

FA wants to make sure one of its pet teams gets through to keep the money rolling in, so what better way than making a team who beat them 7-2 field its youth team.

Considering the dippers usually throw the cup competitions I'm not sure that makes sense.

I can see Klopp putting their U14s out and claiming it was only fair given Villas problems.

No way that they play this if the situation was reversed.

The FA is devaluing the FA Cup by making Villa play. No way would they force the Dippers or rags play. The crucial thing, though is whether they consulted Everton. Hope the Villa, boys recover as soon as possible.

It's making a mockery of the competition, I wish every premier club said the same and pulled out of the competition.

The FA has form for this. They devalued it when they allowed the rags to pull out of it to go and play in some bs exhibition tournament. Arguably the FA Cup hasnt been the same since. Sorry for going off topic, but it has always agitated me

Rag fans I know all say it was the FA and not them bollox the rags knew it was a money spinner and thought themselves too big for the domestic cup and so went ahead with it with the FA’s blessing. Agree it diminished the cup from that point and will never get that back because of them self serving twats.

The unedifying spectacle of two teams both trying to lose a match.

Should end up 10-10. Could be worth watching after all.

A new slant on United again. They were the only team that you never start their name in capital letters and now you've gone even further and are spelling their name incorrectly.
This shows a lack of respect for the mighty reds.
Next time you are doing the fixtures I expect to see United in bold letters to make up for the blatant bias you are showing.
