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.

Not nonsense but I’d love to know who the Argentinian commentator is in this montage haha

 

[torchomatic]

Ha, yeah saw that. Must be a South American thing.

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.

Wouldn't get this nonsense from Mark Lamarr

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…

 

[SBT]

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.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Didn’t Middlesbrough beat them at Old Trafford just 2 seasons ago?

Terry Christian continues to be a complete embarrassment.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Terry Christian has that arrogant smugness you just can't help but want to slap.

Love how he winds Brexiteers up though.

Perhaps he should take up a new career as a stand up comedian.

total knobhead with no relevance anymore

Why wouldn'they write us off?
they're a far bigger club with better players.
We're massive underdogs,which will make it all the more sweter when we k ock them our.

 

[oakey]

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

Just imagining the combined Roy Keane/Gary Neville meltdown

 

[Travs]

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.

 

[spwaverley4916]

Didnt M.R . say something like next game could be Man City or Liverpool --- so he had already ruled out United - LOL

 

[AJB1983]

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.

Take this shit to the off topic chat chaps.

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

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

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’…

Some did. Not all. It was a chance worth grasping.

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

Some were suggesting playing untried youngsters against them

Is there anyone who hasn't got a picture with Jimmy Savile that can be weaponised against them?!

The great thing is cunts have got to do the search, prince charles and Savile, thatcher and Savile, corbyn and Savile!

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Decent coverage of us until they had a conversation about Simms being onloan at us from Everton!

That was nuts wasn't it.

That was nuts wasn't it.

Luckily we went full strength and squeaked by 5-0

Don't know why but he gives me strong Colin Hunt vibes
