RALPH ELLIS AT THE CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Whatever Cardiff get paid by BBC Wales for putting their FA Cup games on live TV it isn't enough. If it was billions, it still wouldn't be. For the second year in a row they got knocked out of the third round in front of the ghostly atmosphere of a deserted stadium as a bizarre kick off time made thousands stay away.

Sure you don't want to keep this one? Rooney appears to offer shirt swap after United win... but why did Evans refuse?
Wayne Rooney wrote his name into more history books on Saturday afternoon by scoring his 249th goal for Manchester United, thus equalling the all-time record held by Sir Bobby Charlton. His goal against Reading may have been scrappy — it went in off of his knee — but it is surely one the Manchester United and England captain will remember for years to come. And it goes without saying the shirt he wore when he matched the record would be a treasured. Try telling that to Reading midfielder George Evans, who appeared to reject the chance to own the shirt any Manchester United fan would move mountains to own.
