Is the FA Cup becoming boring

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The early rounds are great and TV pushes the magic of the cup....come third round onwards it's nearly all reserve Prem teams v reserve Prem teams.

Who wants to watch Brighton's stiffs v Wolves stiffs when we could watch a game we'd not usually see such as Port Vale v Curzon.

The broadcasters would more'n likely televise Mansh Yoonited v Port Vale or Curzon v Mansh Yoonited.

It’s amazing

It's no Carabao Cup...

As has been stated every time the suggestion has been made since the FA Cup lost its lustre.

...and no more cheesey songs recorded by the teams to celebrate being in the final.

Those stopped being a thing as soon as the cup lost it's relevance.

Abide with me is still far superior than that hateful corporate dirge of a jingle UEFA uses.

Come Abide With Me is awful and nothing to do with football. I always mute it when it comes on, same with that equally annoying lasagne UEFA song, which is seen as so "sacred" booing it is seen as sacrilege.

My exact gripe with it, as well as that theme tune ITV use that sounds like someone invented an electronic flute.

Only for those who haven’t gone through the lean and leaner years.
I never find a match that City play in to be boring.
But then I’m old and weird.

Seeing as pundits are saying the CL is becoming boring, is the FA Cup becoming boring to with the same finalists as last season ?





;)

Aimed at CL -> Yup as boring as fuck. Cannot fuckin stand it fixed and rigged for people who are attracted to big name clubs and players as opposed to watching open competitive football.
