Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Any trophy is better than none. And the FA cup is the oldest and one of the most revered trophies in the game. But yeah you're right the prestige of the League and the Champions League has taken the shine off the FA cup a bit in recent times. It shouldn't, but that's the modern game.

 

But the FA Cup has history, and football fans - being an odd bunch, really - do care about history. So it will never completely lose it’s lustre to the fans, whatever the rest of the football world thinks of it.

 

It’s the kind of thing you’d expect to hear from a fan of a club who win the big pots consistently, not that lot who’ve won ****all.

 

Yeah majority of the time it has been the big teams

 

Agreed. I think it's a wonderful competition, it's got it all. I love the 3rd round when the minnows get a chance at some giant killing. The draws when a smaller team gets through and then gets an away tie at Utd etc. Right up to the final. Used to love watching it back in the 80's when both Grandstand and World of Sport would cover the event from around 10am and show the team coaches on their way to Wembley. Proper magic of the FA cup.

 

Yeah it was always matter to the true footy fans.

 

Send me a link, and I will

 

I gave my take after the Newcastle game

The City v 'Pool match day poll didn't even include an option for a City win

 

They do that for every game mate, long running joke I think.

 

That's HIAG-esque that. Especially when they lose

 

Yeah? Who the **** is laughing now?

 

We all are

 

Sha la la...

 

Took you 21 games to notice

Because it took us 21 games to lose

Seems like a good system to me

 

Where was PGMOL for those games?

Slacking ****s.

 

What's ****ing pgmol ?
