The whole day was a great build up, total Tv from 10am at the teams hotels, then throughout the day. It was a special time, the biggest trophy in the world for me back then. Now, with semi finals at Wembley it just isn’t the same, not even the final. Diluted by money and greed.

Lost interest in 1927.

Mickey Mouse cup.

The welsh cup looks far better as well. 😎

Trouble is the Welsh FA banned all the top clubs from entering their own competition. The Welsh Cup is little more than a parks competition now.

I was talking about the trophy itself.

Hence ‘looks’ better.

Never really thought Abide with Me appropriate.

The words are too profound for a football match

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

The village darts trophy may look nice but most footballers would prefer to win the FA CUP. I seem two remember two Argentinians who were delighted to win for totenam.

Surely it was "Tottingham"?

Yes players certainly valued the FA cup more in years gone by but it's more about the money and global attention these days. Since the EUropean Cup became the Champions league some teams aren't that interested in even winning their own league, qualifying for the "Champions League" is what matters, it's shocking really. Football is lost to the money men and the players are just as greedy and grasping too.

I think it's why I stopped worrying so much about winning things and think more about enjoying games. The heart is being ripped out of the game by players who want to prance abround like superstars and don't want to have any contact with lesser players, literally, they want football to become a non contact sport and any contact is a foul!

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Totally agree Keith but what else has changed it for me is the new stadium , even though we have had great success both times we have visited it and I carried the cup for the 2013 final , old Wembley although run down was quite magical the 1994 final will always be my favourite
