McCarthy 20/10/10

More spin than the Electrolux spin dryer production line this morning, with everyone spinning in the same direction. A quick sample of the press will give you the general flavour of things, but suffice to say there isn't much sympathy for Wayne Rooney. I'm not going to bother with links, you know how to use Google...

Paul McCarthy played a blinder this morning, using lots of emotive language like 'denegration', 'disrespect' and shed some light on the current state of the press's awkward relationship with SAF:

"Sir Alex has been at war with the press of late... he's stopped doing the Carrington press conference, he won't do interviews after the games..."

Paul stopped short of telling us what we already know, in that he only speaks to a couple of journalists nowadays -

"...we were expecting to get a couple of questions to him at most which he'd answer, dripping with sarcasm as usual, but this was different... you could see the emotion, he spoke for six and a half minutes and the room was silent, tears in his eyes..."

He added something about it being like a religious ceremony with 'everyone transfixed' but I was biting my fist so hard at the time that I missed the exact quote.

Hopefully this goes some way toward describing the one-way, sycophantic nature of this morning's coverage, and I look forward to round two where Rooney tells us how SAF murdered his pet gerbil or shat in an orphan's dinner.
