The media has fawned over ManUre for decades (don't know if you are old enough to remember).
In one season in the 1970s, after ManUre got off to a great start, the Manc rag (Mirror) headlined one of their pages with 'Give them the title now, it's a one-horse race!', insinuating that the title race was all over, done and dusted.
Hence the joke at the end of the season in Liverpool (by both sets of fans): What comes 4th in a one-horse race? ManUre finished behind Notts Forest, the RS & Everton.
So don't serve up the crap that the media has never idolised ManUre. As someone else has posted: we've had that team rammed down our throats ever since the air disaster by the media, even in the times when they were doing nothing.
