totally agree about the semi-finals. if they want to play them on a neutral venue why not use the likes of Villa PArk Old Trafford and the likes, how they did years ago.

i thought the whole idea of reaching the final was to play at wembley! now the incentive has gone for those who make it for the semis.

totally $hite what the FA are doing of late. there is no thoughts for teh fans. That betty swallock about playing a 39th game outside of the UK was the worst thing i had ever heard. thank god some common sense eventually entered the doors at Soho Square

Has anyone broke the news to Cardiff yet that if they win the FA Cup they can't compete in next years UEFA Cup?

D'oh!

As it stands, if Cardiff win the Cup they will not be allowed to enter the Uefa Cup, as Uefa regulations prevent the Welsh side from playing in European competition as England's representative.

Why not go for semis at the millenium stadium seeing as thats the place that helped the FA out while wembley was getting sorted.

I'm over the moon about the FA Cup situation, it's the best for years. I wouldn't have a problem with any of the semi-finalists winning it, although I would prefer Barnsley to lift it. I can't remember the last side to win it that wasn't Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U or Chelsea.

I was gutted West Ham didn't win it a couple of years ago. They deserved to beat Liverpool, although Gerrards goal was a worthy equaliser I have to admit.

everton...95! ive stopped watching the 'big 4' playing each other, most times just a drab defensive show. This years winner is going to deserve it for all the reasons you watch football for!!
