The FA agreed to scrap FA Cup replays because of “expanded European” demands on seven elite Premier League clubs who don’t enter the Cup until the third round anyway, have big squads and some will go on post-season tours or to the Fifa Club World Cup. Such a senseless, heartless decision highlighted this weekend with Non-League clubs like Weston-super-Mare, Hednesford Town, Guiseley, Southend United and others denied a replay, a chance of more revenue and potential memories for a lifetime. The Cup is a great competition, a historic institution that should be cherished and better protected. The game is about David as well as Goliath. #FACup
@Ogsy_SFC Despite all the success we had with Wenger and the world class players we got to see….I miss that team of home grown talent fortified by bargain buys that George turned into 1-0 to the Arsenal….George laid the foundations….
Ffs….as if having to rely on Spurs and West Ham isn’t bad enough….the new home shirt has blue on it….don’t s’pose the way kit or any of the European, FA Cup, League cup versions will just be Yellow & Blue will they….
Today in 2006 Arsenal played their last match at Highbury….I’ve never felt quite the same about them since. I miss standing on the Northbank with @Ogsy_SFC. The Emirates is great…but Highbury will always be home….❤️
@talkSPORT@JeffStelling Hardly any 3pm Saturday kick offs…no replays later in the competition semi finals at Wembley…a sponsor for the greatest cup competition in the world…we already have lower league teams putting weakened teams out ….leave the FA Cup alone…..
