Another reason to blame Europe: the demise of the FA Cup
If ever you needed proof that the FA Cup has lost its lustre then this week should do the trick.
While people's attentions have been firmly on the drama of the Champions League, the fifth round of the historic competition has arrived with almost no fanfare.
The biggest team in the country – sorry Liverpool fans – faces non-league Crawley while Leyton Orient (fresh from their screwing-over at the hands of Newham Council, West Ham United and the Olympic Park Legacy Company) play Arsenal, but there's a distinct lack of romance in the air.
