I still don't think there is a lot of glory attached to success any more as it is simply, and sadly, not the trophy it used to be. This to me is obvious as managers of Premier League teams almost sacrifice their involvement in it on an annual basis prioritising instead a run of the mill league games a few days later.
A semi-final line-up of Chelsea, Spurs, Citeh and Arsenal isn't bad though, even if some of the previous rounds were romantic potential bananaskin fixtures.
