Anthony Taylor?Crap Ref - I got in first
Agree 100% there is a small group of super rich clubs who have enormous squads who are worried about the extra fixtures due to UEFA expanding the champions league. Frankly there are 100s of clubs in the UK for who the champions league is not a thing and the cheek of the rich powerful clubs to dictate terms to the FA is arrogant and shows how much money equates to excessive influence. If the super rich want to play weakened or even junior teams in the FA cup to preserve their stars so they can have a winter break, I am all for that, but don't mess up the income streams and footballing schedule for fans of non champions league clubs as your squads of 40 odd players apparently cant cope.It's a joke and can only imagine that it is to keep the moaning of Klopp et al. at arms length
With the inevitable scrapping of replays altogether probably landing in the not so distant future and the semis being held at Wembley they really are doing their best to fuck up the best domestic cup competition in the world
Absolutely no way the FA cup is the best cup competition in the world with hundreds in it the vast majority with no chance of winning. Replays are part of it.FWIW I’m all for scrapping replays.
Fans should stick together on this and government it’s a British tradition.Absolutely no way the FA cup is the best cup competition in the world with hundreds in it the vast majority with no chance of winning. Replays are part of it.
No way should the foreign influence, managers, dictate the competition, then leave after two or three years never to come back. I’d agree with extra time in first match but that’s about it.
Again no-way, what I would change though is make it an EFL competition with premier clubs not in it and hopefully next season that includes usGet rid of the caravan cup or whatever it’s called also.
Or you could invite the Champ clubs to the paint/pizza trophy???Again no-way, what I would change though is make it an EFL competition with premier clubs not in it and hopefully next season that includes us
Yeah those are the 5 I'd rest.Give Saka, Collins, Bidwell and Eccles a break. Maybe even Thomas as well
Like the look of that team. Be interesting to see if kitching is good on the right of the 2
My mate supports a lower league team and the chance of visiting or hosting a premier league team in a cup really gives her extra interest not to mention the chance of generating revenue that can secure the club's finances.Get rid of the caravan cup or whatever it’s called also.
Might be but I think the pay day and attraction is drawing/visiting a big club in R2 onwards like just AFC Wimbledon did at Chelsea this season.Fair enough. Isn’t it just 7k earnings for getting into round 2? Sure it was only that 2-3 years ago
Home of Sheffield Wednesday FC | Big Parking used this Saturday, was slow getting out after the game thoughAnyone advise a decent car park, please.
Ohare should definitely playView attachment 33558
I do love the FA Cup, but feel we have much bigger things to fry.
This team is still good enough to get the win, whilst resting a few.
The 3 that defo need a breather are Tats, Bidwell and MVE.
It’s a competitionI’d get rid of replays - were already discussing whether to play a weakened for Friday night to prepare Bristol next Tuesday.
Why risk having an extra game
And I’m all in agreement with the big 6 - scrap the replays, have extra time and pens. No need for replaysIt’s a competition

Always sound so arrogant. If you don’t want more games win them first time. If you can’t you aren’t so special as to demand rules just for you. “Bring them back to ours” is a key part of the FA Cup mythos.
I’d do that aswell. It’s just a ballache. The crowds aren’t there for a replay. If we draw to Sheff wed - can’t see there being 15k for a replay On a cold Tuesday night.I’d rather kill the EFL cup than scrap fa cup replays.
I also think thats lost its lustre - everyone in the EFL has got a decent and playable pitch - at worse it’s like Sheff wed’s pitch.Always sound so arrogant. If you don’t want more games win them first time. If you can’t you aren’t so special as to demand rules just for you. “Bring them back to ours” is a key part of the FA Cup mythos.
