I really hope there's more to this than meets the eye.

I suppose it depends on what the question was.

Assuming Lambert did say it, I think he is out of order and should be hauled over the coals by the club who are selling tickets and corporate packages for this game.
If he didn't say it, I will reconsider my view.
One thing is for sure, the Holte Suite will not hold enough for a Sheffield United Dinner, if we go out after fielding the reserves.

Is saying that any different to Wenger or Mourinho or Moyes saying they respect the FA Cup and then making eleven changes to the last team?

If this is true, him and his assistant are really taking the piss.

Why would anyone be annoyed by him saying the truth?

Cups are for playing the kids/reserves. If you get something then great, but the league is all that matters.

It's a shame. Thankfully I decided to give this a miss after trying to stay away from Rotheram/Spuds and failing terribly.

Absolutely no chance I'll be paying to watch if even the manager doesn't want to be there! Why WOULDN'T Lambert want this? Is he worried about us getting burnt out and relegated? Surely he has more faith than that? He should be hoping to be able to achieve a Wembley day for the fans, we've realistically got nothing else to play for this season.

Every year we get upset when there are weakened teams picked in the cups. And every year our lowest gates are in the cups.

Seems it was a press conference - Tom Ross is usually pretty reliable , both local stations reporting it .

Bearing in mind that Ron Toss is a lifelong Nose I doubt very much this is "the saddest interview [he] has ever done."

Would the gates not be lower though if people think the team will be weakened?
