Totally accept what you say Phil: I'm also an old traditionalist .. But the FA Cup is drowning in the billion pound tidal wave of European and Prem League money. This at least gives it 6 or 7 days a season of individual recognition and a free FA Cup Final day .. Football evolves

OK FOLKS .. Yet another piece of evidence that people are waking up to the fact the EVs .. Electric Cars .. simply don't work. Sales in Germany have plunged by 28.9pc .. in Norway 48.7pc .. The rush to unachievable Net Zero targets has brainwashed motorists ..

Phil .. You rightly focus on the huge tradition and magnificence of The FA Cup but football don't work on decades old sentiment any more because of the reality of MONEY .. This new plan will be brilliant for the low-earning FA Cup .. Giving it individual focus and excitement 👍⚽️

J'Agree ..

This is a great plan: It'll really enhance the FA Cup and restore some of its lustre. Home advantage in the draw is now paramount, away teams can't play for a draw, gotta be sorted on one week-end afternoon without Prem games which will spike excitement on the day .. Win win👍⚽️

Met with the Sports Minister today, raising my concerns about recent points deductions Everton and wider questions about how the Premier League is regulated.

‘By definition, broadcasting is broad casting, it is spreading the information around the country.’

Labour MP, Stephen Pound, and Broadcaster, Mike Parry, respond to MPs criticising the BBC's plans to spread its spending across the country.

I didn't actually say the BBC had 'Zoomed off into the woke highlands' .. that came from another contributor to the debate but I continue to question the BBC's funding model in today's range of thousands of viewing/listening options ..

So why are people stopping buying them? Because once they've acquired one they find the problems: No charging points; Run out of power in bad weather; Too big and heavy thus damaging roads; Very expensive and can't re-sell; Manufactured using horrible anti-enviromental practices
