I think they rate them but not very high!! Especially when the premier league is so high tempo most of the time!!!

I still think that it would have beneficial to spurs and utd if there was not a replay. I’m sure that only something like this would work if mutual consent came from both managers. Both teams, Utd and Tottenham had a lot of injuries and to be honest, spurs were not worrying about the league. Most of the best replays involve lower league clubs so I think there may be an option for the premier league clubs to choose in the future.

“There was never any question of Manchester United asking to scrap replays,” said Ferguson.

“I said that yesterday. You can’t deny clubs like Southend and Torquay the chance to get some glory for themselves and get some revenue.”

I’ve had a right slating on Manchester City message boards over the past few months accusing me of being part of the United-loving media. I might have to point them in the way of your comment

Not that I’m particularly pro or anti either club, I hasten to add… both have their good, bad and downright barking days.

Just a point, man utd did not disrepect the cup in 2002, they went at the behest of the fa to further their ambition to hold the world cup. Still don’t let facts get in the way of your anti-united prejudice.
