I am a great football fan, and to me the FA and Premier League should hold there head in shame at the mockery which is surrounding this great competition.

Years ago the FA Cup final,, used to be on its own on a Saturday AT 3-00PM and shown on ITV and BBC1, and everyone looked forward to it, the season was over, and the game was on, and everyone watched it.

NOW it is being turned into a farce, like the League Cup, we have other games on, on the SAME day, we have different times for it being watched, and being governed by the TV COMPANY showing.

The League Cup is in the same boat, Clubs are using second string sides for that.

Put the FA Cup back where it belongs, on its OWN day.
