I'd find that pretty easy to do.
It's a wonderful way of travelling to Japan on a Dreamliner :)

If I did conspiracies, I'd say this was a deliberate stitch up on the part of the FA and PL relating to stuff around the not-yet-agreed redistribution model and the introduction of the regulator.

I'm just off to for a pint with Matt Le Tissier to talk about the weather.

Ditto. FWIW, Emirates Group had turnover in excess of 100 billion last year, with profits of almost 11 billion, so don't think a boycott is gonna bring 'em to their knees.

Matt could perhaps persuade his mate Tom Numbers to do the draw - there could be a story for each ball.

Oh my, that had passed me by.

Presumably the FA cup draw could just be read out without the use of the balls given it's all pre-ordained anyway.

We shouldn't mock though, that's what they want.

No, but had they all gone straight to penalties we might well have won those first games.
Yeah, and I expect that those clubs would have sent us a cheque to cover the money we lost by not having a second match?

So basically, 20 out of the approximately 700 odd clubs that take part in the FA cup get to decide how it should be run by lobbing an additional £30 million (peanuts to them) at the pathetic FA board.
