To add context to our club, if that decision by FA had been made years back (probably on table then) we would have been knocked out by Tranmere and no trip to the final.
Or boot on the other boot where we went to Woking away, only to draw 2-2 and then we get beat at our place, that's why the cup is magical.
Once they fucked about with the League Cup, it was only a matter of time before they tinkered with the FA Cup.
Man U had already opted out of it one year unless I'm wrong and them and other clubs don't mind galivanting to far flung continents to play useless friendlies, all in the name of making a pound note or two.
