The Carling Cup may not be quite the same level as the FA Cup, but it is the first trophy of the season, so you definitely want to be in it.

Pepe Reina

The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in the world. Players are keen and willing to play in these games.

Edwin van der Sar

I have been accused of not taking seriously the FA Cup on Saturday ... I have won four times the FA Cup. Who has won it more? Give me one name.

Arsene Wenger

To win the FA Cup - scoring the winner in the 2014 FA Cup was very nice.

Aaron Ramsey

You play the game to win things, and if you asked me whether I would want to finish in the top four or win the FA Cup, it'd be FA Cup every time.

Gareth Barry

This is why cup finals are so special because on the day anyone can beat anyone. That's what it's all about and that's why for me the FA Cup and the Carling Cup are the best cups in the world. That's the beauty of the cup.

Ian Rush

I won three FA Cup finals, two League Cup finals, and played in one of United's two Champions League-winning finals. But I lost in a lot of finals, too: the FA Cup in 1995, 2005 and 2007, the League Cup in 2003, and the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.

Paul Scholes

If you are not a good team, you will never get to the final day of the Premier League season or the final of the FA Cup.

Peter Schmeichel

In England you probably have too many cups with the Champions League as it is now. You have the FA Cup and another cup; what's the point in that? Probably one cup should be more than enough.

Gianluca Vialli

And I suppose they [Spurs] are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren't ever in it anyway.

John Motson

I think the FA Cup has great memories and I think there have been Nigerian legends that have played in it as well, like Jay-Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu. They've played in it, so it's a great thing to play in the FA Cup.

Kelechi Iheanacho

I'd been at Everton for more than 11 years. We'd qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final. I'd been voted manager of the season three times.

David Moyes

I wanted so much to win the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League.

Danny Rose

The FA Cup is still domestically the best cup in the world.

Glenn Hoddle

When I was a kid, the FA Cup was the one: it was bigger than the European Cup, even. So to win that, for me, and my dad as well - we used to watch it together - was brilliant.
