While I completely agree that we should be aiming to win any competition we're in, I'm not losing much sleep over being knocked out of the FFA Cup and I'm not sure Ernie will be either. I said on Twitter the other night, it's a good vehicle for Ernie to find out what (and who) works and what doesn't before the season starts.
The FFA Cup reminds me of those English Cup Tournaments with ludicrous names that lower league teams used to play in. Yes, it's nice to win, but no-one is THAT much bothered about it. All the fanfare from the FFA about the Cup is just lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig!
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
