SpiritOfJohn added 16:33 - Nov 18 We all know the league is our priority, but I have been impressed with Paul Cook's attitude towards the FA Cup. The pricing is at the right level so hope the fans return to the cup in greater numbers than they did against Oldham, when people probably expected Cook to play the reserves.

hyperbrit added 17:45 - Nov 18 the FA Cup is fine but what on earth is an American Pizza chain doing sponsoring a cup in the UK? No wonder the players are sometimes lacking motivation because the more games they have to play the more the risk of injuries.Sadly the FA Cup has lost much of it's magic because of these idiotic cups cluttering up everything.

Dissboyitfc added 20:27 - Nov 18 No Hyperbrit the Fa cup has lost its magic for many reasons! It was at its most popular when only the final was played at Wembley it was one of the only games played live on Tv , the prize money is paltry compared to winning a European trophy. There has for many years now been mickey mouse cups, including the simod cup the zenith data systems cup and of course the Texaco cup( an American oil company) this cup did not take anything away from the FA cup.

runningout added 21:50 - Nov 18 Loads of reasons for football losing its attraction. Don't get me wrong I love football, but too much of it will ruin it. Whole of game in Britain needs reshuffle. Thursday/Sunday games due to Europa cup are lousy idea, as we once knew! Agree FA Cup semi finals shouldn't be at Wembley.

Cheshire_Blue added 10:03 - Nov 19 The FA Cup lost credibility when teams started to play reserve teams in the competition. Now one of the Mickey Mouse Competitions.
