Anyhow, Moyes isn't happy about playing at wembley for the semis:

But meh, I'm sure I've been to Wembly for Chelsea semis as a kid and it makes a change for northern teams to have to have 4+ hour trips to watch a game for a change.

Over budget and overscheduled, Wembley is a waste of money. Anything to recoup the cost even if it means hosting semi finals of the FA Cup there and even American Football lol.

If they weren't after all the cash it'd make more sense to host the semis at the Millennium Stadium. I agree with Moyes that playing the semis at Wembley takes away a bit of the mystique from the final.

The FA are crap at organising semis anyway. I remember back in 1995 the Spurs vs Everton semi was held up in Leeds. It's definitely the only reason we lost 4-1 that day
