The last time we won the FA Cup was after a Third Round Replay .

I was there and so was my Mrs* - cold old night - 8th January 1980 .

* Technically she was my girlfriend back then .

With you there. The group stage, for any tournament, is never particularly exciting and leads to meaningless games. I'd much rather see something like a knockout-style double elimination/upper and lower bracket format.
