The FA Cup.

Mark Regan can stick his tweets where the sun don't shine. Can't he actually write an article rather than spout shite through Twitter? It only adds to billions of other pointless crap written on Twitter.

[London Villan]

It was used on FiveLive too, snippet from the actual interview.

Perhaps they should use it on the ads... "The FA Cup - the competition everyone could do without"

Could'nt agree more. Him and his WM team are utter twats.

Bottom line is our squad should have enough about it to beat a lowly league 1 side at home. It's a great chance for fringe players To go out there and impress.

[bertlambshank]

This is manager lowering expectations again.
At least he his being honest.

Storm in a tea cup lads.
Ever since Yanited / Fergie pulled out Of the fa cup that year it's been on a downward spiral and has become almost vogue for PL clubs to shun it.
Until sponsors put mega prize money into it, it won't change.

On the subject of Ron Saunders and the FA Cup, and as coincidence would have it, one of the finest performances I've ever seen from a Villa team was in 74-75, in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Sheffield United (who were then a division above us), and we beat them 4-1.  I have a programme from the end of that season, in which Ron Saunders wrote that his warmest memory of the season was the standing ovation that Villa received when leaving the field at half-time in the Sheffield game.

And that, of course was the season we won the League Cup and gained promotion back to the old First Division.

You just beat me to it Shilli.

The F.A moving the semi finals to Wembley and the final from 3.00pm to 5.30pm is a lot worse than what Lambert has said.

The way to make the FA cup a big attraction is to offer the winners a champions league place rather than the 4th placed team in my opinion , not sure whether uefa have the final say on that though.

No question playing the semis at Wembley devalues the competition and the 5-30 start Is ridiculous - the fa themselves are from from blameless.

Yep great idea.

Semi-finals should be held at the Home of Football and the Theatre of Dross.
