The media obsession doesn't help. 5 Live spent an hour pre match talking about nothing else, including speaking to a journalist with an "exclusive" about Fernandes being left out and then going live to OT for the reaction of the crowd to the players coming out to warm up. Really?

The problem with Man Utd isn't Carrick, it isn't really even Wilcox or Ratcliffe. It's the constant banging on about United's standards being higher than everyone else, that they should be better than everyone else. It's not 1999 any more. Stop living in the past.

Before the "Class of '92" they had won next to sod all for 25 years. They had a generation of success. So did plenty of other clubs. If they stopped looking back to Ferguson's era and started a long term plan they just might be a top club again.

Yes fine, it's a Villa penalty. But it took 2 minutes to decide to refer the referee to the monitor while the ball was in play the whole time. Why isn't that now dead time added back?
