From Arsenal to Manchester United, does anyone really give a toss about the FA Cup?

Recent years? The last three decades, with possibly the odd exception, has shown the bigger teams always triumph in the FA Cup so I hardly see akthough your point is valid regarding the cup since 1995m it's hardly a break from the norm. Regarding upsets in recent years, what about Burnley knocking out Liverpool in 2004/2005? Tranmere beating Everton 3-0 at Goodison in 2001? Barnsley knocjing United out in 1998 3-2 after drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford? I think you'll find there are plenty of upsets, every single year and the cup has clearly not lost it's magic. Ridiculous article, on one hand you say clubs are not interested in the old cup then on the other you say nobody outside the top 4 has won it in the last 12 seasons? It would appear the main clubs have a great interest in it. It has nothing to do with interest or lack thereof but quality (United's greddy and disgustingly pathetic decision to not take part as defending holders aside). The cup has lost none of it's appeal and why have a pop at Moyes about h

his selection? Everton were at home, have been playing exceptionally well and were playing Oldham. They still did enough to beat them but as happens in the Cup, the underdog gets the luck. Although according to you that doesn't happen anymore. I think you managed to get everything wrong in your article, barring actual facts which are hard to mess up. Jesus my face actually hurts this piece was so bad.

As weird as this seems I am in agreement (to a degree) with the Liverpool fan. As a fan you want your team to progress in the cup, and everyone believes in the 3rd round that its their year. The team should be more than just about money and europe, it is about passion. Is it any wonder that the grounds are less noisy, if the clubs put out weaker teams. I don't believe that the Everton team on Saturday was a weakened team to get beaten, they had enough about them to have won comfortably, but you need to have a degree of fortune and on Saturday that went with Oldham. The sure way of putting the fire back into the FA Cup is to give the winner a champ league spot, that way you will ensure full strength teams from all concerned.

actually i think manchester has it all.

Oldham r better dan evrton by far and im a man u fan but i think spurs r gunna win it dis year and the carling cup becose der gud in cups but just above average in the league

wrexham r better dan everton
