6,000 at Bramall Lane to see Sheff Utd crash out to Cardiff City.

As one reporter said, if the management and club don't take the competition seriously, why should they? Look at Brentford, little chance of relegation, a small chance of Europe, and still put out reserves in the cups according to a POD I listened to yesterday.

Chris Wilder was on BBC radio this morning seeming to insinuate twas the weather what caused the change in lineup. Couldn't send the first XI out is what he said I think.

All bollix anyway

I love the FA CUP. but as noellie says above the teams dont care anymore so fans are staying away. i dont think any PL manager cares if he gets knocked out in the 3rd round anymore and will only think of winning it if and when it gets to the 1/4 finals .

Leeds havent bothered with the FA cup since losing the 1987 semi to Coventry

longest away draw sequence, I think they had 14 or 15 away draws . Would rather win promotion than the cup ,mind you I still remember Alan clarke scoring the header from mick jones cross to win it back in the day .

1987 lost to Coventry in semi, Lost to charlton in play off final after extra time, I did my leaving cert the following month, If we had won those games
it would have boosted my leaving cert chances, I would now be a surgeon,

In a way, Leeds are responsible for Keith houchen's brilliant goal in the final.
But in another, very real way, the Coventry players are.
