It was south australia. I've been here so long that I believe our competition is the greatest in the world.

Re the replays in FA Cup - what was the most games ever played over one tie? I seem to recall around 4 games played, maybe in the 70's - possibly Liverpool v Arsenal but the number 5 rings a bell for some reason too, probably other teams.

Fixtures clogged too much for mine for this to continue UNLESS they reduce division size numbers (eg 18 team leagues)

Agree, and TBF, if we had a bigger stadium (multi purpose even) , the competition would have something it deserves.

Arsenal are the ones I remember

1980 Semi final - Arsenal v Liverpool 4 games

Hillsborogh
Villa park
Villa Park
Highfield Road

I know Arsenal played Sheffield Wednesday 5 times the year before, not sure of round
Arsenal also played Leeds four times around 1990, again not sure of the round.

EDIT: Google helped me find this

Went to the first 3 of these. Bunked off school to make the 2 quid 50 football specials to villa park but ran out of funds for the last one. My school was mostly west ham so not great all up
