Although we lost 3-0 today and are out of the competition.
I still love the FA cup.
It's a great chance for teams in different leagues to play each other.
Some great cup upsets over the years and some good ones again today.
It's not about saying we won't win the cup so why bother, it's about just giving it your best and just enjoying it.
Still a very good competition, but once upon a time it was great.

Used to be that anyone could win it. Not anymore though apart from Pompey the last 20 years have been entirely predictable. The FA Cup used to be great because of its unpredictability (City, Wimbledon, Southampton, Ipswich, Sunderland, West Ham etc.)
Those days are gone and the competition is weakened because of the power in the game.
Yes we had its a cup final knockout,cup final question of sport,cup song,
saint and greavie,It'll be alright on the night cup special with Dennis Norden
It was a great entertaining day start to finish
Yep. Used to watch from the first minute right through to the end of the game. Always used to pick a team to support on the day.
Now it is just the same faces winning it year in year out and I really cannot bear to see Man U or Chelsea keep winning it or the rest of the elite bunch year after year after year.
Best tournament in the world? Cardiff played all their reserves and kids. When you've got teams of that level not taking it seriously the competition is seriously devalued.
Full respect to AVB by the way, named a strong side, took us and the competition seriously.
