Do people really care about this? Like, are the fans even happy

Why not give the winner the 4th CL spot instead of giving it too the 4th place team?

It would make it much more tense and actually important instead big a boring sideshow

Yes, meme aside its actually important.

arsenal fans are

the JF's in the Prem and their JF managers don't give a shit about the FA Cup, no.

But for the real brave English lads that make up most of the FA, playing in the FA Cup, and making the semis and playing at Wembley is the childhood dream of every self-respecting English footballer. For those guys, it has meaning.

But yeah, the globalization of football, English football in particular, has ruined the FA cup.

Fucking this. This is how it works here in South America, the winners of them local cups get a Copa Libertadores spot.

Tottenham as a club should. It's >our last season at White Hart Lane and we should leave with a piece of silverware.

It's up to UEFA who they invite

yes and its disgusting when i see other people talk down about it. used to be THE cup to win, as important as the league

Hard to compare to American sports. I gues its like winning the division in baseball. Like its not the championship but at least its notable. Like "back to back AL East champs" is nice.

Baseball teams used to prioritize winning pennants, AKA the division, over everything else before the greedy jews ruined it with the World Series, just like how soccer clubs used to prioritize the FA Cup before it got ruined by continental competitions.
