If all of Niner's bets fail, Lineker should avoid mocking Road Dogg for at least 48 hours out of respect.

Granted it's a rugby league example but one of my favourite ever rl players and a legend of the club labeled our halfback at the time as the best one we'd had at the club in over 20 years and that he was the next Peter Sterling(who was one of the greatest rl halfbacks of, if not all time, then at least the last 40 years). So naturally, using an english footballing equivalent standard, he turns out to be League 1 quality at best. So tldr overhyping sportspeople is a universal thing.

Because @stokerino wanted to know what Craig Moore thinks. BLOCraig BecMooe’s FA Craig Moore - 3 hours ago Chelsea v Manchester United | May 20, 2.15am (AEST), Wembley Stadium, London The FA Cup Final is a classic and is a game which many people have been brought up on. I remember being a youngster and always getting up for the Cup Final. Two very good teams who have had seasons that their fans probably have felt disappointed by. Great time to send them away in the off season with a victory and renewed confidence for next season. I’m not sure what Conte will do with club captain Gary Cahill. Cahill played against Newcastle and it certainly did help with the result. There has been too much commentary coming out of Chelsea and the challenge now is to come together for this game and give yourself the best chance of a result. Chelsea can afford to be patient in the game. Manchester United are no longer a team that will blitz you as they’re a team which will feed off your mistakes. They’ll take a positive approach and build into the game. You’ll get chances against this United team. Romelu Lukaku (pictured above) and Anthony Martial are both in doubt with injuries. Martial on song is great because he is direct and makes things happen. Lukaku is a powerful player and can score but sometimes people overlook his performances because he doesn’t score. He still makes an impact as a player though and works for the team, that is very important. These finals games bring about an excitement and buzz about playing, so if they’re not passed fit, there’ll be two other players snapping away waiting for the chance. Man Utd will try and be hard to breakdown and be dangerous on the counter, looking to punish mistakes. This can come from an organised press or by teams coughing up possession in bad areas. They aren’t flashy but have been efficient for the main part of the season. Of the last 11 FA Cup Finals, 10 were decided by a single goal margin and I expect this to be tight but think we’ll see more than one goal in this game. I expect this to be tight but think we'llsee more than one goal in this game. I personally would love to see an early goal so we neutrals get to see an open game. I expect that both teams can get on the scoresheet in this one. KEY BATTLE: Alexis Sanchez v Eden Hazard Hazard has put some pressure on himself by saying he’s interested about who Chelsea will sign before he decides his future. Players must focus on playing and I know his frustration is coming from a good place. Sanchez (pictured above) hasn’t had the impact United fans would have hoped but maybe he can give them a nice departing gift for the season with a big performance and a goal. If he does this, he can shade this battle. The Verdict I’ll go with a draw in normal time with United going on into extra time to grind out a win. Both teams I’m sure will have put the season behind them and focus on the best possible way to be at the top moment for this Cup final. Plenty to play for and should be a great atmosphere. Going for a scoring draw at the end of regular time with United winning 3-2 in extra time. In the 11 FA Cup Finals at the new Wembley Stadium, only once has the team who scored the opening goal lost in the regulation 90 minutes.

That just means he was due.

All the people of colour in the opening ceremony apparently made Pauline Hanson very uncomfortable.

Maybe it actually is Liverpool's year?

Fixed.

I'm disappointed that Alan Curbishley hasn't asked for the job on twitter yet.

When you score early it can get comfortable. So this game did, apart from a bit of a bright patch for Swansea in the second half. 2 good DeGea saves in like 20 seconds. Cringed a little when Sophie on MUTV was reading out the post game emails and when she came across one from Sydney she put on an accent and said "G'day mate"

McTominay will be happy with the good amount of game time he's getting today.

This was possibly the strangest opinion on superhero related matters I've seen for a while. (just c&p'd from fb) Leary Wardlow Hebert recent portrayals of Spider-Man is a loser childish millennial snowflake... y'all can keep him

I want to blame it all on David Warner. Can't stand the guy.

Finally starting to find out what we've all suspected for a while(that Ibra would not be a United player next season)is what kind of makes me doubt that Jose wants to get rid of 9 players(well I think I said 7 but that was because I didn't see the point in saying 9 because I felt them including Carrick and Fellaini was pointless padding to bump up the number) story I mentioned earlier. If you go to the trouble of mentioning Carrick who we've pretty much known for ages was retiring and Fellani who we already knew by that point was leaving, so you could get to the 9 presumably because 9 is more attention grabbing than 7, why not add Ibra to the 9 and make it 10, because there was no way he'd still be playing at United beyond this season? I don't doubt there's a few players he doesn't like, just that he's probably more likely to get rid of no more than say 4 and bring in around the same number. Sadly for Shaw it looks like he'll probably be one of the ones moved on.

What's the overall feeling on how Deadpool 2 is going to turn out? I remember a friend of a friend on facebook saying that they had a packed house in a melbourne cinema and Deadpool 2 was one of the trailers and not a single person laughed. 2nd hand information I grant you but if this isn't a patch on the first, I'll be ever so sad face.

We've got Rojo until 2021, so we don't need either Shaw or Rose.

other players on the ‘To be culled’ list besides Shaw : Ander Herrera, Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, Chris Smalling, Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind while Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick are also set to depart. One player who won’t be leaving is Ashley Young, with a clause triggered in his contract to extend it by an additional year – that means he’ll remain at Old Trafford until at least 2019.

The story of Luke Shaw in a swap deal for Danny Rose has picked up steam again, for what that's worth. Some random article I read, was also claiming that Jose wants to get rid of something like 7 players, in the next window.

@LUKIEv here's your big chance!

That movie's just randomly been brought back for a bonus week here. By the way, the only reason I ever saw Deadpool in the cinema was because another local venue randomly brought it back for a week. So if a local cinema wants to do the same for Black Panther when I actually have money, that'd be nice.

So with Marcus Rojo staying until 2021, that's our defence sorted, right?
