My point exactly. They play a weakened side in cup games which don't mean as much to them, to preserve their best players for more important games. Why is that different from teams playing weakened sides in league games they don't expect to win, to preserve them for more important games?
The answer, of course, is because it isn't fair to the other teams in the league. But the likes of United and Arsenal aren't being fair to the fans who pay good money to see their strongest sides, and are devaluing the Cup competitions. For that, they should be brought to book.
