 FA Cup results and media watch by Simon

Arsenal 0, Man United 0 AET at Villa Park - with a Roy Keane goal ruled offside (and quite rightly so), and Nelson Vivas sent off in extra time, it could be seen as A Great Escape. So it's all back to Villa Park on Wednesday, and Petit is back from suspension! Congrats too to those who heeded the club's call to turn out in yellow, you looked absolutely fabulous darlings!

But the spectre of a North London derby final has been dispelled thanks largely to Sol Campbell - an incredibly stupid handball in the penalty area let Alan Shearer give the Geordies a lead in extra time; a sweet Shearer strike made it 2-0 and shattered George Graham's Double dream. Ha ha ha.

Proper match reports (plus opinions on the Keane 'goal', to give you an idea of bias, or lack of it) at:

  • BBC News ('television replays seemed to suggest that United had been harshly treated');

  • Reuters ('what appeared to be a perfectly valid 38th-minute goal');

  • PA/Sporting Life ('controversial first-half decision ... with Yorke in an offside position inside him as he tried to hold his run');

  • Sky Sports ('United will feel aggrieved after they scored what they thought was a perfect goal ... but the linesman had already signalled after Dwight Yorke had drifted into an offside position');

  • The Guardian ('Giggs was not offside but Dwight Yorke in the middle clearly was');

  • Express Sport Live ('UNITED ROBBED ... Roy Keane appeared to have scored a perfectly good goal ... but the linesman had flagged when he spotted Dwight Yorke offside');

  • Evening Standard ('As for the goal, even the hardiest Gooner knew it should have stood' - ha!);

  • Soccernet ('assistant referee who denied Roy Keane a legitimate goal ... there was, without doubt, no need to disallow it');

  • ManU's official web site ('United were denied, but not by goalkeeping excellence ... discussions with his linesman confirmed the decision, but the Reds were rightly riled and Denis Irwin was consequently booked for dissent');

  • AFCi ('the linesman immediately raised his flag ... Wenger had no doubts')
