Me too, I still love the FA Cup. 

And me. And that felt big.

It's lovely to have a new name on a Cup that is 150 years old. It's the best-looking trophy in football too (after Jules Rimet's retired one).

You want City to win their 1st EC ?  Fook that.

Ideally no, but they'll win it eventually anyway and nothing they win really counts

I'd say the now UEFA Cup is a great looking trophy but there's something special about the FA Cup.

I'm really happy about how this has put a smile back on so many faces. I started the thread pretty much lamenting the demise of this competition, but it's good to see that it can still deliver at times.

It's great that fans were back, and it's great to see an oil club fail again.

What's killed it is the same teams winning it every year. It never used to be like that. When someone different wins it it means something again. Even in our heyday we only won it once a decade (twice in the 80's).

The magic is usually more in the earlier rounds with lower league and non league teams.

Didn't really care who won but my god it was amazing to hear the roar of fans again.

Would have liked both sides to have to do extra time. Think the offside was the right decision though. Even without the lines drawn I thought it was marginally off.

Hopefully we never have to see football in empty stadiums again soon.
Long Live Lucas Leiva!
