FA Cup FA Cup 2023/24 (Final: Man City vs Man United) - On Paramount+

Yeah it’s predictably turned in to an “elites v the rest”, so those that aren’t in the “elite” feel they have no choice but to rally against it.

I’m convinced we’ll look back on this in a decade as a good move that will breathe new life in to the competition.

Pretty much anyone I've spoken to who has argued in favour of replays has either used "I have all these great memories from my youth" or "replays fund clubs for years". The former isn't being taken away from you and the latter speaks to a funding issue rather than a replay issue.

Breathe life? Really?

Breathe life? Really?

Why not? Puts more important on a singular game, more reason for people to attend, more riding on the result.

You really think people don't attend because a game might be a draw and a replay?

Come on.

The game not being the last of the season lessons the prestige of the competition as well.

Good for the top few, they don't give a * about the competition.

You think people don't go to the games because of the date of the final? I think it has more to do with the demeanour with which clubs treat the games. If clubs knew they had no second chance they'd potentially play stronger teams in the ties which would elevate the quality of the games.

No? Did I suggest that was the case?

Suspect we won't see much difference at all.

Alright, back to the actual Semi Finals and this is an interesting read, especially for all the Epl fans here who must be wondering what a Coventry City is:

How Coventry City came back from the brink to stand one game away from FA Cup final

Coventry City's remarkable journey from the depths of the football league and financial woes to challenging for the FA Cup shows anything is possible.

I thought it was Welsh.
Makes about as much as sense as AI

Surprised at our lineup, thought we might have rested a few.

We've struggled a but against Chelsea this season so expect this will.be another tough one.

 

[moomba]

From the sounds Palmer did something in the warmup. Maybe still feeling it.

 

[moomba]

Sloppy from us so far.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Jackson's dive is embarrassing. Teams should just keep playing unless a referee stops it. Retrospective yellows, stamp it out

 

[moomba]

Rodri and KDB look knackered.

Two of the ones I expected would be rested for this match.

 

[Camros2]

wtf was that from Jackson

 

[moomba]

We look awful so far.

 

[Bradesmaen]

wtf was that from Jackson

His best Hojlund impersonation

 

[Bradesmaen]

When did Cucurella remember he's a footballer

 

[Camros2]

His best Hojlund impersonation

More like his best DCL impersonation

 

[Bradesmaen]

More like his best DCL impersonation

I was just setting you up

 

[moomba]

As bad as I've seen us play this year. Only positive is that we didn't concede.
