    Still has the magic for me. The solution is for the FA to put more prize money into the Cup and put it back up there where it belongs. With so much money (and CL qualification) at stake for the EPL, it's no wonder clubs fail to give it the respect it deserves.

    My best memories of supporting Saints are dominated by Cup competitions.

    I'd love it - day out at Wembley, 40,000 or so in red & white, potential for glory/heartache etc. Would be amazing.

    Just wanted to expand that out a little more Lff.... I'd worry if we faced Chelsea at any point, but the others I think we'd have a good chance.

    For the final, yes. The semi-final would have more, although I don't agree with the semis being at Wembley.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the semis move temporarily to Wembley because Arsenal played Spurs. It was considered that the game would be a sell out in London in a match between those two teams. I think it was wrong then, especially as they have continued with the practice.

    Do we still have the Wembley single-club attendance record?

    They definitely should NOT be at Wembley. Wembley is for the final.

    If you can't get up for a Cup run this season, then you never can. We couldn't be in a stronger position to be able to prioritise the Cup over the League.

    Not a criticism by the way. If you're still not up for the Cup, then fine. No issue with that. You're presumably just someone who has no interest in the Cup full stop, and that's your choice. Fine.

    And yes, the SFs should absolutely not be at Wembley.

    (But they are, and if we get there, then I'm certainly getting myself a ticket!)

    Out of intrest, does Perez take charge for FA cup matches or just do the interviews? If so do we reckon Perez would continue to if we went the whole way?

    maybe, I'm not sure. Seeing as we get 30,000 approx. each week... that should be enough <whistle>

    Just does the interviews. In the Premier League, the manager needs to take press conferences, but in the cups an assistant can do it so it's easier just to get the fluent English speaker on them.

    It's actually a requirement of the Premier League contract, isn't it..?
