Don't get me wrong it's still a trophy and a very nice one to win, however when you see the draws and them making a massive thing out of it, are they still trying to force the "romance" of the cup down our throat far too much in the present day?
The reality is, it just isn't that big a tournament any more, even the lower league sides rotate their teams in it. The prize money to avoid relegation/win promotion/qualify for Europe is simply too great to risk it all on the off chance of a one off scalp for any non top six side.
Even as a fan I find it a bit boring these days, I use to buzz for third round weekend but now it's as boring as international breaks for me. Sad I know (and I do miss what it use to be) but the media and general football population need to get with the times a bit and stop trying to cling on to its old glory.
