What do you think of all the premiership clubs losing in the F.A Cup?

I hope it serves as a wake up call. They should at least play half first team and half reserves. That way, the new breed get a chance to shine. Remember David Edgar's free kick for Newcastle against Manchester United (Granted it was in the league, just using it as an example) that was a good free kick from to what many people class as a complete unknown. There's also the fact the the Top Flight clubs don't take clubs in lower leagues seriously.

I think it is great! It is about time some lower league clubs have a bit of a better run in the F.A Cup. Look at the amount of Premiership clubs that are out already.
Sunderland
Aston Villa
Everton
Bolton
Birmingham
Blackburn
Thats six out already, and more are going to go out from these fixtures:
Reading vs Tottenham
Manchester City vs West Ham
And more could go out on sunday including:
Fulham
Arsenal
Liverpool
Newcastle
Derby
So atleast 8 teams are going to go out at the 3rd round.

The FA should enforce a ruling that all teams must play their strongest team in all Cup matches, or it will kill off the greatest Cup in the world.

We all like to see clubs beating teams in higher leagues than themselves, so long as it does not involve our own. The bigger clubs live in dread at being embarrassed. The lower league clubs raise their game and why shouldn't they. Well done to Oldham, Huddersfield, Coventry, Sheff Utd et all

there are no lack of surprises in the FA Cup & this season it could be even more. just look at Blackburn Rovers, Everton & Bolton Wanderers, all of them lost to lower league teams at home.
