Premiership clubs have massive squads with a significant number of players who can’t get a game most weeks but are evidently too tired to have the possibility of playing in a replay. Another reason why the few wealthy clubs now dominate our domestic football and the FA Cup Final is now just about which one of the top four or five richest clubs wins it. Pathetically weak decision from the FA.

The F.A. are such a useless bunch of shits and they quite literally don't give a excrement about lower division clubs. The fact that we have such a thriving professional game at numerous levels is a good thing for most observers, but the bigwigs would no doubt prefer just to profit from a Premier League 1 and 2 with a nod towards the grassroots level.

How often do we see a plucky draw then smashed by a big score in the replay?

Its a flipping shocking idea, that extra 30 minutes against Luton ( if no replay) we'd have lost. We wouldnt have had Southampton. It flipping stinks
