If you can’t understand the history and significance of the FA Cup you can can’t fully understand football - it’s the oldest and most famous domestic cup in world football.
In any case, you shouldn’t understand the value of a cup generally - I even remember attending the modern equivalent of the Carabao - the”Littlewoods Cup” - in 1987, winning via a spawny Charlie Nicholas deflected goal - which set up the George Graham era. We hadn‘t won a trophy Since 1979 - Sp**s drought is of course much longer - and trust me it meant everything.
We have won the FA Cup so many times and at various different points in our history, that there is a good chance it was the first trophy you saw Arsenal win, which is the best thing in football fandom.
Shocked any Arsenal fan would try to discredit it.
