As is the case with most fans, I would suspect, I consume more media when we have such a positive result and it has been interesting to take stock of the reaction to a tremendous team performance and., even better, the deserved three points.
It does seems fair to say most people expected United to come up short against Tottenham Hotspur, dousing the feelgood factor of the Christmas and New Year period. Spurs represented formidable opponents, having won their previous three games with 11 goals scored and none conceded. In fact, had it not been for the match before that spell, the home loss to Wolves, the North London club's form had been rather spectacular.
