I'm sure the reason Man Utd are always picked for TV in the FA Cup is because they're the biggest attraction overseas, so selling the game is worth more money to the BBC/SKY/BT than any other team.

 

Or i might have just imagined that, still bollocks it's always them though.

Is this a genuine question? The last Man United FA Cup tie not to be televised was in January 2005.

 

God's sake, didn't even see the table when I posted this, was on my phone.

MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon today, and the usually story of how both clubs were formed comes up.

 

I don't like MK Dons because of how they were formed and that story is well known. However I can't believe how many people see the irony in how AFC Wimbledon were formed. They did not start out at the bottom of the football pyramid themselves, they were given a place in a league where new clubs shouldn't be entered. How can it not be ok for MK Dons to take Wimbledon's place and have a head start on clubs in the league system, yet it's ok for AFC Wimbledon to have a head start on small non-league clubs who have been going through decades of trying to to progress?

They started nine or ten  tiers down, given there's only 11 in total it seems a bit unfair that you're trying to portray them as being pushed straight into the Conference or National league which they most certainly weren't.

 

So yeah, no irony at all. As you were.
