Was in the motor & listening to TalkSport
The PL & FA aint exactly saying it as it is
They announced that discussions on the change discussed / agreed with the EFL
To which the EFL have responded like fuck it was
Thought Monkey [on Talk Sport] was v.good highlighting that the FA Cup has always been about the smaller teams / minnows having the opportunity to take on the big / bigger teams
Describing how The Arse nearly got beat against Port Vale, only going thru on the replay after pens
There are two scenarios when it comes to the teams lower down [LD] draw against a higher up in the 1st leg
If the LD team are at home in the 1st leg & get a draw the replay is a big earner for them on the replay as gate receipts split
& fans, especially younger ones get to go to a stadium they only usually see on TV
If the 1st leg is away & the LD team get a draw there is a higher prospect of a giant killing
At home, usually a smaller compact stadium with fans making it noisy & intimidating
& a match the fans will remember for a long long time, especially if they win
The PL & FA are under pressure from the self serving Prem teams as supposed fixture congestion
This is bollox as over the summer they go on tours [only one reason ££]
IMO the EFL teams should boycott the competitionAnnounce it on their websites / in the media
Somewhere in there an ambiguous statement not making this 100% binding
Other teams jump on the bandwagon & it wont take long for the FA Cup to be watered down so significantly it becomes an embarrassment
The likes of Sky TNT Amazon C4 C5 anyone showing matches will go off at the deep end, oh dear
The PL & FA are a bunch of self serving cunts
Lets not forget that the tosspot FA decided themselves to change the england flag on shirts with Nike in cahoots
Inclusivity bollox yet again
Oooh a little bit of pink, in the euros the fans in Germany could get the piss ripped out of them by other countries fans
I cant imagine the LGBGT fans who travel Germany [in their droves
] knowing the words to Five German Bombers !
