All I can say is this is an utter disgrace and needs to be fought. I'm all for scrapping same-league replays but replays against higher division sides are a life blood for lower league and non-league clubs

At the risk of sounding like our former master, playing the final on a normal Premier league weekend is devaluing the product.

I can't see what the FA are thinking, playing a money maker that has fans of all clubs watching when most of those fans will be watching their own teams.

Big money speaks.. Soul sellers...










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

All teams should make a stand & boycott the competition in protest at this continued absolute capitulation from the cnts at the FA. Without lower league clubs, the FA is nothing.

If you got 50-60 clubs to pull out it would absolutely hammer the reputation of the cup & FA and force a rethink.

Other than John Fenty, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone devalue their own product so much as the FA do their flag ship competition…

Heads should roll at the FA if this goes ahead. None of the bent fornicators involved in this PL appeasing stitch up should be allowed to work in football ever again.

There should be a fan protest organised for all the FL and non league clubs.

Think the poll tax riots but less friendly.
