Village Idiot Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 That would be pointless as f*** considering 14 of the last 15 winners have been Champions League qualifiers anyway. It is rare in Spain though, for some reason (well, the Big 2 never cared much about the Cup lately). Would have loved to see the likes of Betis, Mallorca, Zaragoza, Espanyol having CL outings in the past few years. Having the 4th placed team going to the CL is a joke, at least have an actual "champion" take that spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrap replays, have premier league teams seeded in the 3rd round but have them all play away meaning 20 big games for 20 lucky teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Look at the fixture list, I've noticed that after Birmingham we only play 3 games until the start of April. That's 3 games in 6 1/2 weeks. It's perfect for us as two of our better players have long term injuries. Ben Arfa may only miss four more games and be fit for Wolves on 2nd April, hopefully anyway.

Fact is, their isn't much wrong with the cup imo the way it is now. You're right, the only thing wrong with the cup is that people don't take it seriously any more. Probably because the bottom teams have to avoid relegation and the top teams have to qualify for the CL. That's all they care about. Unless we can address that then the FA Cup will get more and more meaningless until it is killed completely. That's not far away from happening IMO.

I still love the FA cup and it should mean a lot to NUFC fans as we are still one of best teams in the history of it. The champions league with the fact the top 4 teams qualify for it in the league means they are more concerned about that the FA cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The champions league with the fact the top 4 teams qualify for it in the league means they are more concerned about that the FA cup. Not really true as Chelsea have won it 3 times out the last 4 & the team that got beat by Barnsley in what can be classed as there gap year was a decent side: Cudicini 6; Belletti 6 (Pizarro 5), Carvalho 7, Terry 6, Bridge 7; Wright-Phillips 4, Essien 3, Ballack 6, Malouda 5 (Kalou 5); J Cole 7, Anelka 7. Man Utd 2009/10: Got beat by Leeds 1-0 @ OT but they had a good side out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8433901.stm 2008/09: They lost on pens in the semi. 2007/08: Lost to the cup winners but played a big part in making it easier for Pompey to win it by beating Villa, Spurs & Arsenal before getting knocked out. 2006/07: Lost in the final The bigger problem is the bottom half PL clubs are all consumed with staying in the PL.
