Do you watch the FA Cup? I do.
Occasionally. Maybe the final or if Arsenal or Zlatan would play in it. More from a bit of fatigue than anything else.

Trust it from a guy who comes from a country where the main league is fucking terrible - if you were watching something like that, you would not keep watching your team with the same passion and fervour as it seems your are now. The Swedish league is probably about the equivalent of League 2 in English football, I'd say. I don't believe that most people here would keep following their teams as closely in League 2, to be honest. A few, yeah, but not many.
