On the crowds....although watching this from afar on telly in the US I too am shocked at the empty spaces at grounds. Especially in the FA Cup...what the f*ck has happened to that? I remember as a kid in the early 70s the Cup was always something special and the grounds were always sold out. On tv this weekend grounds were half-empty. Is it just the prices, is there just too much football, did Ferguson ruin it once and for all?
Very sad. Got to admire Newcastle though. Millions of the f*ckers....
