Just came here to write something similar.
I waited until this morning to check the press again as there was nothing more than obvious delight at his reaction from the studio TV pundits. As you say, can you imagine the horror if that were Jose / SAF?
It appears that, because of the lack of serious sports journalists left out there, the news is a simple rehash of whatever pundits/comms thoughts were on the TV the day/night before.
Seeing as that is driven by mostly ABU ex-players on SKY (with the exception of Neville) there is little chance of that. The boards and discussion groups will all rant and rave about it, privately behind closed doors, for a while making not a sod of difference. Meanwhile the likes of SKY will be clipping it up to show the rest of the world the passion involved in the PL … advert style!
No point torturing ourselves, nothing is going to happen, best move on.
A side thought: Its definitely worth a tenner on that theme coming up in the first question or answer of Jose's Arsenal Presser tomorrow
