Headlines on Radio 5 Live this morning: Is Man Utd's name written on the Cup after yesterday's FA Cup Semi Final Draw?

Feel free to add other examples of media nonsense.

Don't need the media nonsense, we have enough nonsense on here.

Robins was being criticised on here as soon as the team was announced on Saturday, because he didn't pick O'Hare

Seems to me it was a masterstroke how MR set us up and Palmer had a very good game and then seeing O'Hare on against tired legs, worked out a treat.

I always think to myself, at least give them chance to take to the field and kick a ball in anger before believing the manager has got it all wrong.

Terry Christian…the bloke who was so obnoxious and arrogant on Fantasy Football, with the chief of Channel 4 sat next to him (Michael Grade), that the latter soon after axed The Word.

I feel a Kevin Keegan moment brewing…

Really don’t think our fans are prepared for the Banter-Industrial Complex that’s emerged online since we were last in the top flight. Our Twitter beefs with Sunderland and Burnley fans don’t even scratch the surface.

Roy Keane's smirk when the draw was made. Would love to see it wiped off.
I hope MR saw it and was suitably fired up by it.

To be fair, when the Brexit debate was raging there was a remainer narrative about the UK car industry which was bollocks, (and as you know I was/am a remainer), and he engaged and listened to me when I said it was that sort of thing that lead to the project fear line form brexiteers

Didn't we (as a fanbase) completely write off Maidstone United after they'd just knocked out a better team than us in the previous round?

Are we now demanding everyone puts us on an even footing with Manchester United?

Of course we're being written off.

It’s just the arrogance of it. Not even acknowledging that it could happen. Even I was slightly nervous about Maidstone as we’d come off the back of a bad defeat, and it’s the cup, but knew we had enough really to see it through.

If Leicester had kept 11 players on the pitch yesterday they’d probably have beaten Chelsea the way it was going.
I think we are all realistic enough to acknowledge that Man Utd should win, but you never know.

No, it was relevant to the comment about Terry Christian who was mentioned in the thread.

Not writing us off but listening to the latest episode of the Totally Football Show and they started talking about how Everton will be kicking themselves because they ‘loaned out Ellis Simms to Coventry and they need a goalscorer’. Even doubled down and said ‘well we only started scoring recently which will be why they didn’t recall him’…

I think most of us acknowledged the risk of underestimating Maidstone.

I read a few comments from their fans basically saying how much respect we showed them by putting out a strong team and taking the fixture seriously
