I think that attitude says a lot. Believe it or not some people like football for the game, not because Man Utd. I guarantee if Portsmouth are in the final there won't be hundreds of empty seats. I support Spurs, but will quite happily watch 2 neutral teams play. I'd rather watch two teams have the chance to compete for the FA cup, than have Man Utd - Arsenal every single year.
Going back to the league, the fact that the same old teams keep on winning is damaging for football. The only team outside the big 3 to have won the premier league was Blackburn, once, in 15 years. And even that was 13 years ago. That is what is damaging English football, not that Portsmouth have the temerity to try and beat you in the FA cup.
