The so-called magic of the FA Cup has been mocked by cynics in recent years - those voices are silent after a fantastic and dramatic day of quarter-final action.

Sir Alex Ferguson raged, with some justification, against Manchester United's ill-fortune as they lost to a late Portsmouth sucker punch at Old Trafford.

But even more dramatic events unfolded at Oakwell later as Barnsley delivered a performance of glorious defiance in the best traditions of the competition to beat holders Chelsea.

Those final, dying minutes, with Barnsley camped on the edge of their own penalty area and Chelsea mounting wave after wave of increasingly desperate attacks, provided the answer to anyone who doubts the drama and pedigree of the FA Cup.

Slowly but surely the giants of the Premier League have fallen by the wayside - and with respect to the alleged "Big Four", the FA Cup has regained much of its old lustre because of it.

Barnsley's advance to the semi-finals, with other clubs outside the Premier League chasing a place at Wembley as well, gives hope to those who had started to give up on of breaking into the cosy cartel carving up the domestic honours.

The debate will rage about holding semi-finals at Wembley - I think it is an appalling decision - but do not expect Portsmouth, Barnsley or anyone else who reaches the new home of English football to be bothered about that.

This competition has regained all of its romance this season, and the games at Old Trafford and Oakwell provided confirmation.

Do you believe the glory days of the FA Cup are back? Or do you feel they never went away?
