Replays used to add excitement to the FA Cup. The trouble is that now only one replay is allowed there is an incentive for cash-strapped clubs to draw instead of win.
I would really like to go back to the old days when there were as many replays as needed to get a result. Then clubs had an incentive to win because replays would mess up their league season. The trouble is that this has become impossible because of police and television demands. So I would rather all ties were resolved on the day. One replay only is to me neither one thing nor the other.
P.s. No I don't like the lottery of penalty shootouts either.

P.P.S. for "Italy". My question means that there should be no FA cup replays: the first match should be played with rules so that one team or the other always wins.

The problem is the FA Cup is now the poor cousin of the League title and European trophies.
With the greater influx of money ito the game, only the big clubs can really afford to progress in the Cup, as the other teams are more concerned with their league status.
Even the big clubs will field weakened sides in the competition and only take it seriously if they don't have another option to win something. Eg: Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd and even Chelsea did not take the Cup seriously last season.
Only Liverpool did, fielding their best team in almost every round.
The previous season when they were chasing European glory, they didn't even bother, only Arsenal and Utd did.
The FA Cup has lost its' glory and romance. Rather than torture ourselves with replays (watching weakened sides), it is best if the issue could be settled in 1 game.

The FA Cup is a knockout competition, ie. winner advances to the subsequent round, the loser is out. If a pastime is drawn first time around the game is replayed to set up who's the winner. those days if the replay also ends up in a draw the game is determined on a penalty shootout, yet no longer so some time previous there ought to be diverse replays. the most i will remember is 5. "Agg" is short for mixture. some knockout competitions have rounds of two legs, eg. Liverpool play Barcelona with the first leg in Liverpool, and the second one leg in Barcelona. the completed rankings over both video games will be further as a lot as hit upon the combination score. maximum 2-legged video games have the 'away objectives rule'. If the aggregrate score is a draw then the crew that scored the most objectives at the same time as they were the away crew is the winner.

Yes , i like penalty shootouts after all it is a skill , as we saw in the world cup it's not so easy to score , looks easier than it is and could also improve English teams so that the same does not happen again.

replays are good for the underdogs and not good for the big league teams
good idea bringing back unlimited replays

In an ideal world, I agree but in the world of football money and fear of player burnout, it is never going to happen.
