Well im glad the 3 English players in the FA Cup Final next year enjoy their extra weeks rest.
I know, why not just get the FA Cup played to the Fifth round.
If Man U , Arsenal or Chelsea are still left in, then these 3, and only these 3 can draw lots to see who wins.

They were talking about this on GMTV and made a big thing about how clubs like Brentford would miss out. I'm sure they mentioned our name more than they have in the last 5 years! John Stapleton actually sticking up for his local team for once.

I don't know what else people expect them to do. I'd rather have had the final on a Wednesday than this, but apparently that's too much for people to cope for, so they've gone for this solution.
It would have cost us a replay this week but only if Southampton were in the UEFA cup. Only Middlesbrough and Newcastle would have got let-off a replay.
It's more than likely to not actually make any difference to most teams, only a handful of ties in the last few years would have needed this new rule, and it is only for one year.
The crappiest complaint so far:
Part and parcel of being a Welsh team in the English league, if they don't like potentially helping the England team, they should be in the Welsh league.

Maybe Wales should get themselves to the World Cup as well, then

I think the Cup is and should be special and I don't like the FA screwing with something that works. Thin edge of the wedge methinks. In four years the Premiersh*te will enter a round later but a month earlier or some other malarky.
I'm getting sick of Sven. :no:

It's a lot of b***ocks, but what do you expect from the so-called guardians of the game, who repeatedly sell the game down the river? The only thing going for it, is that it's better than playing the Final on a Wednesday, which is the b***ocksiest idea they've come up with since letting Man U go on holiday rather than defend the Cup.

At least not ignore them when they're clearly the most interesting replay and the most deserving/in need of tv money. :mad2:

When Sven was appointed, people said it was good to have a fresh start with someone who didn't have any favourites or strong feelings about the English game...maybe we *need* a manager who would rather defend his own corner and try to put the interests of his own team ahead of the tradition of the cup for the sake of 1 year. Every other country is going to have their season finished by that date, so it's more about not having a disadvantage, than having an advantage.
Didn't the Cup final used to be the second weekend in May anyway? I'm sure it's crept back to the middle of May in the last 10 years.

It used to be the first Saturday in May, Jay Bee. Then along came the Premiershite and the Chumpions League and all of a sudden we couldn't have the FA Cup Final on the first Saturday in May, second replays were scrapped, etc etc.
The FA is supposed to be the guardian of the game, but the people in place for too long have simply interpreted that as meaning, "get your snout in the trough."

At last!!!!
The FA Cup final will now be the last game of the season on 13 May.
An initial plan was to abandon fifth and sixth-round replays for clubs involved in the FA Cup and Europe to help the four-week break be enforced.
But the FA Challenge Cup committee opposed the idea and, although it could have been overruled, the FA board has found a new solution.
The Premier League was also unable to help in the matter as it stated it could not start the Premiership season a week earlier because of the clubs' contractual arrangements.
I believe that Q/F's will be played on a Wednesday evening.

The FA Cup Final will undoubtedly affect no more than 2 or 3 England players, so what is really the agenda? The question answers itself me thinks. :mad2:
