Probably is, but for United not to score 1 goal in 90 minutes at Old Trafford against a Non-League side is laughable.

Also got to me aswell, because United were the only team that let me down which could of won me near enough to 1K. The only team I was expecting to let me down were Celtic and they won.

Not really, since the players that United were playing were barely worthy of a place in the non-league (in my opinion). Fergie really taking a risk by fielding a joke team and making a mockery of the FA Cup, our reserves really aren't up to scratch and nor is the manager at times.

Unlucky on the bet mind :p

Nice to see the media over-reacting as always. Oh my god Exeter hold United to a draw, biggest upset eva!!!!!

Had there been the likes of Ruud, Rio, Keano, Giggsy and the like in the starting line up playing the game from start to finish then yes it'd been the biggest upset ever however holding what was basically our youth team with the pretty boy Neville and safe hands Howard to a draw isn't as spectacular that's being made out to be

Hardly, it's 4 or 5 pages in from the back in the Sun.

I haven't seen one paper that's said its the biggest upset ever.

Not read any of the Sunday rags who had it as their main story on the back of their pages? Not watch the Sky Sports coverage? Not watch the BBC coverage?

They were all calling it a massive upset and shock especially that daft bint who hosts the football first. Hmmm i wonder how she got her job?

It is.

But, of course, Man Utd fans don't see it that way.

"Oooooh, it was our reserves. Watch us as we belittle a group of new and upcoming professional footballers who are young and inexperienced in a bid to preserve our image."

I really can't grasp some of the stupidity I'm seeing in this thread.

Its four leagues, four fecking leagues. Its a team proven in Europe, arguably the most famous in the world, and with millions of fans. They're playing a Conference team that gets gates of just over 2000 and are in huge financial crisis. You're playing them at Old Trafford.

How this can be seen as anything other than a huge, huge upset I don't know. I look at the starting line-up and there's Howard, Neville, Brown, Djembax2, Bellion, Spector and three extremely well respected subs in Scholes, Ronaldo and Smith that have also played a good chunk of time.

And you're telling me this isn't a huge upset? You're telling me these players are barely fit to play in the Conference?

Can I tell you how much, as a Woking fan, I'd kill for ANY of your 16 players on the field or bench? These guys are on anything from a few thousand to going on a hundred thousand pounds a week; its for a reason, they have talent.

I'd wager that not a single Exeter player is on more than a grand a week. They worked their socks off and shocked an unprepared United side that didn't work their socks off. That is all.
