There is a long list of crimes against football by Sky. Destroying and devaluing the FA Cup is right up there at the top.

Much as I'd like to blame Sky for all of modern football's ills, destroying and devaluing the FA Cup is what the FA itself has done to its own competition.  From about 1990 onwards they embarked on a process of death by a thousand cuts.

Biggest tragedy in football, the whole country used to stop on fa cup final day, regardless of teams. Very sad.

If it wasn't for the special pink ball I think I'd have lost all interest in the FA Cup.

Let's hope they didn't play an ineligible player...

Cardiff fans are supposed to be boycotting their game today. It will be interesting to see what sort of attendance they get.

The third round schedule of games is all over the place, why for example is Everton v West Ham being played on Tuesday?

They played last night and there were just over 4,000 there.

Just realised that they did. 4100 odd is very low indeed. Not sure it will make any difference.

Incredulous at Stelling at al on Soccer Saturday bemoaning the way the FA Cup has been devalued. Nicholas highlighted the fact that Liverpool fans have to travel to London on a Monday Night of all things.

This on a channel who's review of the year never mentioned the competition at all because they didn't have the rights.

Hypocrisy runs like a cancer through the game from player to manager, from presenter to pundit and with those who run the game.

Not impressed, never fit in to our new game plan if he can't keep the ball on the deck.
