I wouldn`t miss any of the "Big Six". Let them go and play where ever they want and good bloody riddance to them. Reformat the League and merge the top few teams of the EFL with the Prem and have a competitive league again where any number of teams have the chance to win, instead of the current situation where it`s a closed shop of 2 or 3 teams. It`s turned so dull and predictable.They can also give the players a proper close season off.
Yet so many clubs think nothing of jetting off around the world to play 6-to-10 lucrative friendlies.
I hope the super league takes off and the EFL expel them. It would be fun if they played each other 6 times a season.
Nor would I but unfortunately these rules, and probably more to come, are demands met by FA to keep them here.I wouldn`t miss any of the "Big Six".

Went to every game of that epic cup tie, Hillsborough, Highbury, (where Arsenal got a late leveller) then 3 times to Filbert St,As a kid, I grew up on the magic of "The Cup", you didn't need to call it the FA Cup as everyone just called it "The Cup".
The Slough Town v Wycombe replay in 1970, over 9,000 ffs. The never to be forgotten Hereford v Newcastle game is part of folklore but the fuckers at the FA are now saying it could never be allowed now.
I can remember the great tie between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday which went to 3 replays before Arsenal prevailed. Titanic struggles before Arsenal got through. I'm sure @wednesday1957 or @Visiting owl will remember them.
As a kid , I remember the Alvechurch v Oxford City tie went to 5 replays, even remember reading a report in the Daily Telegraph the next day.
22 November 1971: The longest-ever FA Cup tie finally finishes
Graham Allner played every minute of the six matches it took for Alvechurch to beat Oxford Citywww.google.com
Our own 1973 run included 3 replays, what are the chances of us winning 3 successive penalty shootouts? Let alone anyone who went to those games and enjoyed the game voted as the best ever at Roker Park. Equally the 1992 quarter final replay v Chelsea.
My home town team Slough Town played Grimsby in the Cup this season, drew 1-1 at home before being tanked 7-2 in the replay. Despite that , many of the Slough fans who went to Grimsby still went as they thought we had a chance, and coming back to 2-2 from 2-0 we did for a little while.
Here are Slough Town's thoughts.
Club statement: FA Cup
A statement from Slough Town Football Club following the recent announcement on changes to the format of the FA Cup.www.sloughtownfc.net
It's a disgrace this decision has been taken to benefit 4 teams with the middle finger being given to the other 728 teams that entered this season's Cup. The FA'S hypocritical statement comes out with the crap over player welfare but as numerous others have said, the so called elite will then play exhibition matches in Asia, USA etc.
And how have they come to a decision to ban 1st and 2nd round replays when the teams from the greed league aren't even involved?
Bring on the football regulator.
The club is being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing and don’t give a fuck about our fans.Me as well.
Also waiting for acknowledgment of Leighton James passing and his contributions for SAFC. Every other club he played for has.
I’m not sure whoever looks after the club media will know who he is or if they do that he played for us. Chris Maguire will get his happy birthday Im sure like
Theres a massive disconnect with older fans I find, and sure you can say that about a lot of things in life, but football should always be for everybody.The club is being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing and don’t give a fuck about our fans.
The worry is people still seem to think that they do.
Is it him or a spoof ( I'm not on twatter).Stan Collymore isn't someone I'd usual name as a good voice of reason but this statement is brilliant.

He’s a very good analyst of the game though often too controversial for some. Brilliant article by Stan, thanks for posting.Is it him or a spoof ( I'm not on twatter).
Really well said
Great article , I just wasn't sure if being as honest would get you in trouble with arsey media employers ( wrongly buy way it is now).He’s a very good analyst of the game though often too controversial for some. Brilliant article by Stan, thanks for posting.
Same at ours mate...Only thing I'm proud about is the fans...I know I’m a miserable bastard but I just find it really sad. I don’t think the club is what it was when I started going.
