I liked the one leg ties myself, we don't need any more matches on the calender. Not that it matters, we'll lose to some rubbish side like Espanyol in the quarters anyhow.

1 match was great, gave the small clubs a chance !

1 match is much better i agree but a straight knock out draw like the fa cup is great
