The FA Cup.

Oh dear

Now picked up on by the mainstream media.

The Daily Heil and The Express have also gone large with misleading headlines. I can't really disagree with anything he says in the context of the question posed, but he he is being a little naive to think his answer would be portrayed in any different way by the presstitutes.

I was more concerned by the logical incoherence of his recent interview on transfers, but maybe that is because of too many years spent as a computer programmer.

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

Agree. That was all part of the magic of the cup, and Hillsborough.

[Legion]

He was asked a leading question and gave an answer referring to all teams in the PL, not just us. I feel really sorry for him with this.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Coming out with shit like this 2 days before a home Cup match.....

 If he he's so concerned about modern football then he should start by understanding how the media works and how every word that managers says in the modern game will be pored over. He's a fucking idiot.

We win Saturday, and the story disappears.

[Legion]

No he isn't. It has been twisted by poor quality journalists and presenters such as Mark Regan and arguably Tom Ross.

Until the 4th Round...

[Clampy]

He was being honest. At the end of the day, like I said earlier, the F.A have done more harm for their own competition than anyone else.

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.

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.

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

In the same gang as the Olympic Commitee, FIFA and UEFA.   Completely unaccountable, out of touch and a lot worse.

[VillaAlways]

Incredibly naive comments from Lambert. Even if he's thinking it , why say it ? All it's done is heap a load of pressure on the team,whoever he selects.

Perhaps he should go on twitter and clarify it.

And yet again the only people analysing, pulling apart and criticising the words of the Villa manager are Villa supporters.

I think in the light of what happened to Wigan you have to consider the relative value of the Fa Cup. Be great to win it, but not at the expense of relegation. Thats pretty much all I read into Lambert's comments. I respect him for being honest at least, often he tends to speak predictable, cliched waffle.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I can't see a lot wrong with what he's saying. We ain't got the players or the squad to compete
