Premier League clubs to discuss scrapping FA Cup replays

Another way of cutting down fixture congestion for the top clubs (because let's be honest, it's only really the top 6 that have this problem) would be to push back on the constant expansion of European competitions. We didn't have complaints about "fixture congestion" when there were 24 teams in the top flight unlimited replays in the fa cup and two legged League cup ties as the European competitions were limited to 3-4 teams and they were straight knockout cups...

Except of course there have never, ever been 24 teams in the top flight!

Yes, you are right, sorry, my bad... But the point still stands about reserving of midweek for the increased number of European matches is what is causing the fixture congestion and driving this proposal.
