A bit irrelevant that though. The game v Fulham was the kind of tie that the FA Cup is all about and the 2-4 scoreline that resulted from the game (courtesy of two late Fulham goals) suggested that the game would have been a feast for the tv and the viewers.
There was very nearly a giant killing in the game and with the stature of the FA Cup diminishing year on year, the need for a major giant-killing is needed more and more.
It also gave the chance to show that there is life outside the Premier League too.
Sadly, Man U v Spurs was one of the games chosen IIRC, giving us another all Prem tie that is hardly gonna raise too many eyebrows.
