Blame SKY and armchair supporters.

As a football club, what would you rather ?

1. A day at Wemberlee
2. 5hlt loads of money in the bank. ?

Ask Coventry what they think.

I disengage, I turn the page.

^^ is the correct answer ^^

Well played, Sir

I disengage, I turn the page.

In all this let's remember Brighton made more changes than we did, but had more fit players too. If we had one we can presume the same discussion would be occurring on the Brighton Fans Forum.
Personally I am happy with keeping the money coming in rather than facing the prospect of a third insolvency

Besides it wasn't like we were playing Millwall!

The premier league teams, manager and many fans are p**sing all over the heritage of the FA Cup, the worlds greatest Domestic cup competition, bar none.

Some of my best memories as a Palace fan involve this competition, and yesterdays debacle in terms of very few people seemingly caring whether we won or lost, including the manager, and a half empty stadium devalues the Cup and also our memories of this great competition.

I'd rather they scrapped both cups altogether and let us keep our memories untarnished.

I think you’ll find that circumstances played a big part this season. If we hadn’t lost seven in a row at the start of the season, if we didn’t have seven players out injured and if we hadn’t just come off the back of three tough games in six days then we may well have taken it more seriously. Let’s consolidate our place in the division, become more stable, get off to a better start with more points in the bag and then dream of a cup run. I’ve heard Steve Parish say before that he is realistic that Leicester was a fluke and that the only real hope of glory is in the cup for teams like us, but if we are really serious about winning it you still have to have a certain standard of player as the big teams start to take it serious when they reach the quarter finals. I think the last team to win it outside of the top division was over forty years ago and the last team to win it from the top division who were of a similar standard to us, were Wigan, and look what’s happened to them. (Forgive me if I am wrong on my fa cup trivia).

It was a disappointing result, but history tells us that we will have the last laugh. While they make the long trek up to Middlesbrough, let’s hope that Roy takes our boys off for some warm weather training. Big Sam said it made all the difference to the lads when they were in his charge.
