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. Totally agree. I know we have disagreed on a few subjects but I am totally in agreement with you on this. The FA shouldn't EVER bow to the Premiersh*t's wishes, in fact the reverse. The Future is Black & White.

That’s the next step !!! The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Better teams are obviously at an advantage over lower-ranked teams in terms of fitness & quality on the bench, so 99 times/100 will end up winning in extra time. Straight to pens for any draws.

Tired of being grateful for crumbs falling off that top table and nodding along as we shafted from behind at their pleasure. Walk away from it all, let them rot in their cesspool of greed, dirty money and self-indulgence. Premier League, Premier League 2, European Super League, those in the FL who are desperate to snuggle up to their paymasters, take the FA Cup if they want - that'll be fun with 6 teams in it. Let the purer version of the beautiful game flourish away from them and their poisoned attitudes.
