FAO: Himmers...

How does this make you feel? (From today's Media Grauniad btw)

"The entire Manchester United squad boycotted media interviews after their FA Cup win over Wolves on Sunday in protest at adverse coverage of Gary Neville's alleged incitement of Liverpool supporters during the Premiership meeting at Old Trafford nine days ago.

The squad considered the reaction to Neville's celebrations trial by media, with comments by Alan Green on Radio Five Live and Sky TV's coverage the following day causing particular offence. Despite contractual agreements Sky and the BBC were denied access to players after the 3-0 win at Molineux, though the assistant manager Carlos Queiroz did appear. The players' protest was intended as a one-off in support of their captain, who faces an FA fine over the incident, but broadcasters are not convinced access will be restored tomorrow night when United are at Blackburn."
