You say about greed, what about saints?

we played a very changed team at Watford, and had to bring people on to save the tie.

 

Oh I include our owners in that. The silence since the announcement has been very obvious.

The FA Cup isn't over, it's just not as special as it was, but what is. This year's FA Cup has been brilliant so far.

Today is more evidence that this year's FA has been brilliant.

Hypothetically, if this game had gone straight to pens, I'd say it would be 55:45 in Uniteds favour. If it'd gone to a replay, I'd say 90:10. Apparently the 'magic of the cup' these days is TV cash generated from a replay.

Replays are a small part of the magic of the cup and a small part the redistribution of cash between clubs.

You don't think actually winning the tie would have been more 'magical'?

Yes of course, it's nuanced mate.
