How bothered are you about the FA Cup this season?

[Grassland Blue]

We should take every competition seriously in my view.
I don't like the way the F.A cup scheduling has been mucked about with.
I hate the fact that the semi-final is played at Wembley - the thing is that playing at Wembley was a massive part of what made it special. Only the FINAL should be played there.
The rags part in the belittling of the competition should never be forgotten or forgiven. With all the players at their disposal at the time they dipped out well what can I say? If it was too small a prize for them then, they should have been excluded for a very long time - beyond that why are the cnuts on TV every time they are playing in it?
I love the F.A cup, I hate the way it's run, and I live in hope that things will change.

It's about time we won the double so let's go for it.

I am another where I will become more bothered by it the further we get. I personally think the club has shown its hand in this competition in the last two seasons and as soon as it clashes with a more important game then it may not be taken as seriously.

West Ham is 50/50 anyway I think but if we win that then let's see what happens. Fixture list is not congested in Jan but a game 3 days after Burnley will see some changes

Love the FA Cup

Yeah, but why bring it into the equation anyway.

Because I'm writing a post weighing up the positives of the FA Cup?

I'm quite pissed early tonight,but I think I agree with this. Fuck the rags right off for a long,long time. Dirty bastards.

Enormous overreaction.

Fair enough, I'll give my own fanny a wipe as well ;)

Too right. Part of me still hasn't forgiven the club for the fucking shambles of that day, only City could let it slip that we're sacking a manager on the day of a cup final. Been desperate for another FA cup ever since. Come on Pep, make it happen!

 

[Bill Walker]

According to Pep too many games hinders our season so I'd prefer we just concentrate on the prem & chumps
Winning those would be progress

A replay would be a pisser. How often do you see a weakened side draw and therefore need another game defeating the object?

It doesn't matter if the weakened team plays the replay, it is squad preparation time that is eaten into also, as well as cup scheme replays being a ball ache and bad value for money.
