Certainly more so than I am in the Premier League. |

| For most Prem clubs the FA Cup is now almost right down there with the League Cup. |

Yes, definitely! I used to love the Cup Final but now it's just another cup competition thanks to the greed of the half a dozen Premier big boys, it's a bloody shame! I'm going for the underdogs as usual. |

I'm going for the underdogs as usual. Its not just the prem its the fa and fascination on bidding for the champions league final and trying to recoup costs the stadium built up by hold the semis at wembley which takes away the magic of your team making it to wembley when that dream stops in teh semis. I feel although i know they wont do it is the fa put on of the 4 champions league places up for grabs to the winner of the FA Cup that would help build up the magic again... that and cup final songs |

Three things right in one sentence, well I'll go to the foot of our stairs. 'twill take more than just that to "bring back the magic", the world is full of fooktard kids who can't see beyond the latest Iphone or the dream of getting onto Xfactor despite their complete lack of anything approaching talent and plastics, the magic always came from within, people just don't have it any more. Money trumps magic nowadays, next season when the tv money near on doubles the Prem whores will reduce the tenuous link there still is between them and real people. |

| It lost it's value (to the big clubs at least) when Man Utd didn't play in it to do the world club cup instead. Shambles really |

| Mmm so let's hope noone every bankroll s argyle else you wouldn't be able to watch them either.
Every team in league football is bankrolled to some extent. Very few teams are self sufficient. Just that some have richer owners than others nothing to be jealous about |

I'm sure some would even be prepared to accept the JB stadium if he did get us as far as Wigan have |

And It's-a-knockout between the two home towns of the clubs in the final, it's a shame because that pervy bloke has tarnished the fantastic memories of a brilliant day of football, it must have all started about 9am on the telly! |
