Truth is the Champions League final always makes things complicated because the FA Cup can't clash with it, and that final tends to be the week after our season ends. They should have given the cup it's own day though, I agree.

and it's clashing again next year to make way for international competitions and the year after it'll be some thing else, the year after that it'll be because of the World Cup and finally the oldest and most famous domestic cup competition in the world will clash because Utd, City, Arsenal or some one else wants to go on a money spinning pre season tour
