No, but wouldn't it be nice to get James's yellow cards for simulation rescinded, as everyone hes had the replays show hes been caught and not booked, theres not much been mentioned about that.
I think it's because none of the so called "British football media experts " predicted his initial appointment when Mourinho was sacked. They're all p*ssed off because they all got their forecasts wrong, so they've spent the last two years trying to discredit his appointment at every opportunity, to justify why none of them predicted his appointment.
Ole has done a terrific job, he's turned round the destruction of his three predecessors, and reinstated the club culture we had under Fergie. On top of that, he's a really nice bloke, represents the club well in public, so he doesn't deserve the lack of respect given to him by many. Cardiff aside, he had a terrific managerial record with our reserves and Molde, winning league titles and cups.
United are on the way back, the ABU's know it and can't stand it
True
According to the ex-referee expert they had on BTSport, it was a definite penalty.
Its a properly weird one.
Ole was never a controversial player. I can understand certain groups of fans disliking him, as they disliked every player who did well for us during the 90s when we were dominating. However, I can't remember Ole getting into it with any particular members of the press. Maybe there's stuff that happened at Cardiff we don't know about? Cos a lot of them go for him any time we have a setback.
If it was Keane or Red Nev, players who were vocal and seen as chippy by opposition fans I could start to understand it. But Ole..? Its like there's a will to see him fail from so many. I just don't get it.
I think criticising United is a quick way to get some attention, and Ole is easy game with his relative inexperience at the top and our historically patchy form. Unlike Lampard, I doubt he has many friends in the media to back him up.
Basically, people in the media are dickheads.
What is Simon Jordan's belief based on? Nothing. Both experienced top players; Lampard bought what, half-a-dozen good and expensive players last summer while United didn't buy a single player Solkjear wanted yet United reached top of the table (for which nobody is giving him credit), and Lampard is sacked.
If you have a belief then you have to justify it with facts. But the Talksport presenter didn't probe him on that.

If Ole wanted unconditional support of the English punditry, his people shouldn't haven't spent 200 years raping and pillaging the poor, defenseless people of the British Isles. As the saying goes, "You've made your bed, now lie in it."
Maybe because he's a foreigner and Lampard is English?
And of course, nothing like how we raped and pillaged our own people for 1000's of years. Besides, all Brits are foreigners. Originally.

Jordan is a Talksport presenter and prize cnut, to boot!
You what?
There is absolutely an agenda against him. 100%. When he had his bad spells they spent 12 hours a day telling the world he needs sacking and deciding who to hire. When he has his good spells? Its var and the referees doing us a favour. Compare the coverage of Mikel Arteta's spell at Arsenal and it's plain to see.
Ole being successful makes a lot of pundits look VERY silly, it's a bit like the agenda merchants on redcafe at times. The more success he has, the more stupid they look, so they simply don't even bother to talk about him any more. (The pundits, that is.)
I don't know how unhealthy one's obsession has to be with your team or football to conclude that the media has a "vendetta" against your club. It's just utter nonsense. Everyone has their team and all of those clubs has a portion of fans who think the media, refs, pundits etc etc are out to get them.
You are right. i thought there was.
Agreed. Utd are the biggest club in the country. they attract the most media. There are people in the punditry that are paid to say controversial things to make headlines. When we do well this gets stronger. The easiest way to make a name for yourelf in the media is to either have a talent or say controversial things. Get used to it. It means we are doing ok.
I just think they can't bear the thought that a norwegian comes in and shows the eniglish people how to manage an elite team. Italians, germans, french folks, portugeezers, fair enough, but a fecking norwegian?
Jake Humphries is a classic case of work experience level lad perservering to attain a position he isn't competent to be in and is dangerously, but not there yet, levels of Tim Lovejoy Hanger-on-esque quality.
Phil Neville once said, much of success is simply turning up on time at the right time.
Sounds personal, but for him to improve, he should widen his knowledge and inquisitiveness.
Jonathan Wilson literally belongs in Private Eye's PsuedsCorner.
At least Barney Ronay has his lovey descriptive turn of phrase and humour.
Wilson, just seems like hipster 2.0 levels of obstinate stubborn intelligence
The women at SSN that probably leaked the footage which was cringe-worthy of Keys and Gray trying to be one of the lads, have done all of UK football a glorious service.
BT's refusal to give a comfy European Football Review show to James Richardson, sums them up

I'm looking forward to your tweet condemning Salah's pathetic dive against City this afternoon.

What do you know, there's someone name richard on the forum.
Woops.

Comes with the course of being the biggest club in the country. That’s all there is to it. Only three clubs get hate no matter what happens - us, Madrid and Barca. Even a massive club like Bayern got endless praise after winning the treble last season. I guarantee you that if it was us, people would be saying ‘one season wonder’.
What a fecking tool
Getting fed up of this rubbish, how can he come out with that ?!?
The picture they used says everything you need to know, they are on the wind up and its on purpose ....

There is an article in the Telegraph today trying very very hard to get United in dock for the comments made by Shaw and Ole after the match. They were asked questions, they answered them honestly, so Man Utd should be punished because they didn't lie.
There is an article today in the Guardian which is a hatchet job on James. I really hope he doesn't read it or he has a tough skin. As well as slating James and trying to make fun of him, it refers to United as a 'failing institution'.
These are not 'football reports', they are malicious articles deliberately aimed at United's staff, the club and its standing.
It is typical of the standard of journalism today which seems to be based on 'hate' as much as anything else.

the ABUs were in full force in the media today after yesterday's officiating.
pundits, presenters, press saying it wasnt a penalty and having a dig at the players and Ole. wankers

Yeah and don't forget the Daily Fail's article on Ole's list of recent gripes
Every draw we've suffered against another top 6 side this season has been roundly blamed on United - never the opposition.
Last time we played Arsenal, they had 5 players across their penalty area and another 4 within a yard of the edge of it every time we were in their half - but it was solely United who were to blame for it being a defensive game.

It is all about being jealous.
I love that it is out there for everyone to see. There can’t be any doubt about ABU from lot of people.

The Guardian are generally very snobbish about us so them criticising us is practically a given whatever the circumstance.
the ABU media is on full force today. The most annoying thing I've heard today was on talksport that Ole should not be complaining about the ref's wrong decision but should focus on getting more application from his players. How the feck does one relate to the other ffs!
Henderson said VAR bends the lines, Klopp, Jose, Lampard questioned the integrity of the refs (well not directly) but ManUtd should be punished.
Jordan's whole media personality is based on riding the coattails of the Ole outs. Even after positive results he gets at Ole.
The man is a fraud. He sees on twitter that we have a cult of Ole outers and he plays up to them.
Gotta laugh at the Talksport twitter having 1.4 million followers and the best that bait can muster up is 42 likes.
Halaand signing for Ole and United in the summer will shut him up fast.
And he will.
