This season there is only a remarkable 6 Premieship sides in the last 16 of the FA Cup, something which has not happened for over 50 years!
This year saw a lot of Premiership sides undderestimating lower leagued opponents, and managers played weakened sides.
Was this because of a disrespect for the cup? Or was it just the magic of the cup? Or maybe you think that the draw was fixed?
Personally I think the draw was fixed because there were a number of non premier league ties, and the big four were all given comfortable ties, to ensure they were in the next round. The second rate Premiership opposition were knocked out by them, therefore leaving a lack of Premiership sides. I think that the FA did this to give the competition publicity!

Come on you Cynics. Where your romance.
This the greatest Cup Competition in the world. If your teams still there enjoy it. It will be another boring final between Man U and Chelsea anyway.
How many would watch Brisitol Rovers v Barnsley? which would probably be a more exciting game! | | | | | | | 28-01-08, 08:17 AM | #4 (permalink) | | FMF Donator Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: In a house Posts: 642 Thanks: 14 Thanked 20 Times in 17 Posts |

We always get a crappy draw, and Liverpool scam through!  We should make it though I reckon, Arsenal can't keep up with us!  |
