Has the FA Cup lost some of its sparkle? What are the big teams\\u2019 attitudes towards the tournament? These are a few of the questions we\\u2019re trying to answer on today\\u2019s brand new episode of Jules & Andy!


After a mixed set of results from the third round this weekend, we debate how significant a place the Cup still holds in football\\u2019s television-dominated environment. We suggest some ways to help recapture the magic of past FA Cups, including moving the semi-finals away from Wembley and incentivising teams to take it more seriously, while Jules recounts some of her favourite memories of watching it as a fan. Elsewhere, we discuss some of the potential movers and shakers in this January\\u2019s transfer window, as Arsenal need some new personnel in defence and Manchester United could do with some creativity.
