FA Cup 3rd round draw

[Mark barnett]

Something needs to be done with the FA Cup. Seriously needs rebooting to bring back the prestige. Champions League place & stop the semi finals at Wembley Would be a nice start. Would stop teams putting out weaker line ups.

We need the bigger teams to put out weaker line ups or else non of the lesser teams have a chance.
Not having the semis at Wembley is a very good shout though

I disagree, in the 80's and 90's this didn’t happen and still the lower league teams beat full strength teams. Giant killings they called it.

Did you have to remind us?

It's therapy and it's free.

Hull are 19th place in the Championship - lost 11 games from 21

3-0 to Hull then...

Squeaky bum time.

Fancy a good run at this. I remember Benitez’ first FA Cup campaign at Newcastle. They beat some really good teams in an unlikely run to the final, and then dominated possession against Man City at Wembley, losing narrowly in extra time.


Nah not really. They got beat 3-0 by Oxford United in the 4th round.

VAR should be jibbed off for the fa cup if every game can’t have it.

We are going to win the FA Cup this year, feel it in my bones, unless it's my arthritis

Couldnt agree more mate. I would even go as far as goal line technology should be off if it is only used in prem grounds.

We got properly shafted by its absence a few years ago against Millwall. They scored a goal where their player clearly handled the ball, it was even shown on Millwall's big screen, causing their manager to yell "Get that off!" So everyone in the ground knew it was hand ball but the goal still stood.

Another suggestion on how to breathe new life into the FA Cup - disallow any player from selection in the semi or Final if they have never been picked to start a game in any of the previous rounds.

But what if we reached the final (stop laughing) and Pickford got injured or suspended, having played in every round? Would we have to play an outfield player in goal?

But what would happen if we got to the final and could not play Salomon Rondon ,hm might be a good idea after all .

We need to forget about it this year or we will end up like wigan without winning a trophy
