they are currently going with two options. the first being "its only hull and we didn't play that well" and the second is "can they win a trophy next year, thats the real test"

this season, we ruined all our critics ammunition, we went out and spent 40 million on a world class player and we won a trophy. the two big sticks the media use to beat us with of "they don't spend money on world class players" and "haven't won a trophy in x years" are gone and they can't cope

Also, Maureen's specialist in failure shit which the media loved so much, that was shot to shit as well. It hasn't been a good year for the Mancs media but they aren't the sort to take stock and learn anything so a brand new summer collection of bullshit is expected. Hopefully our own fans won't give them so much ammo this time around.

That wasn't openly accepted by the media. From what I read, most thought he was out of line and should have showed more class.

The blanket coverage that lasted a week was the give away. Of course they "disapproved", why would they approve of 20 easy yards of copy? They disapprove in the same way as a politician disapproves. They shake their head in public while milking whatever they can. If they'd genuinely disapproved, they wouldn't have underpinned the story with a post mortem on Wenger and headlines such as, "So is Jose right?" Instead they would have pressed on with a character assassination of Mourinho, as they do with anyone they can get between their teeth. Maureen gave them the prefect excuse and their response was a titter and a shake of the head before moving on to the main course - killing Wenger. Even now the criticism that should be heaped on Mourinho is muted. Just imagine the outcomes reversed, Mourinho coming off a cup win and Wenger empty handed. It would be open season and a field day.
