Is the FA Cup becoming boring

[Metal Biker]

Glued to the TV screen from 16:30 - 16:55 on a Saturday mesmerised by the teleprinter...!

Or refreshing Teletext pages for score updates. Simpler times.

Scum win the FA Cup thanks to a dodgy VAR decision.

Imagine having to wait for the Sunday papers to get the results. Now THOSE were simpler times!

I have enjoyed the Cup this season. Some cracking games and goals. It is weird how the same teams are in the final - let's hope for the same result.

I lived abroad for a few years way back in time. I had a sunday paper specially delivered and it would arrive on a tuesday.
I also got a proper pint glass in the poolside bar. I would have Tuesday off and spend the afternoon drinking Stella and reading the footy pages but always turned to the results page first to see how we'd gone on.
