good ole fa cup we cant do shite out there

Its not going any better for City. I was actually mad when I saw the line-up. I thought they should have played an U-21 player or two.
Now instead of bringing any of them off the bench with a lead, they're putting on Silva and Nasri to try and win this.

They've been buying up kids from all over Europe and Africa for a few years now.
Try and buy them at 15 for £3M instead of at 25 for £30M.

If we're lucky they can sell them to Scotland or the Championship for £300K.

A player on loan at Celtic

Yeovil loves us. Unfortunately for them, they're absolutely terrible.

Would rather City lose here than have to replay in a very crucial part of the season.

Sorry man the FA cup just doesn't excite me much. I would rather extra time and penalties over a replay.

But City won and doesn't have to play an extra game so I'm happy.

It probably has something to do with the newer group of followers not caring as much about the tradition. You hear the commentators talk about it a lot - it's just not the same as it used to be. Even talks of the Capital One Cup surpassing it soon.

While I love the lower league sides progressing and I'll never turn down watching more soccer, I'd rather watch non cup soccer.

ESPNFC and Fox speak often after the Premier League returns following an FA Cup break how top teams don't seem to put as much into it as they used to and that managers would rather focus on the league or UEFA competitions. I've seen at least three small segments on these shows or on websites over the past 3 years wondering if the FA cup has lost something and is going downhill.

The David-Goliath match ups at the little guys place are fun to watch though.
