Did anyone else notice that Sir Alex Ferguson failed to give a post-match interview on Saturday? [LNB]No? You mean you weren't sitting at home saying 'My day has been spoiled because I couldn't hear the wise words of the Manchester United[LNB]manager'? [LNB]After the fantastic spectacle of Liverpool [LNB]thrashing the Premier League's best team in their own backyard it might have been nice to see Ferguson bristle and bat away the embarrassment, but it was hardly essential.[LNB] [LNB]I can't get to the Press room - I'm boxed in: Sir Alex seeks sanctuary with United fans[LNB]The interest in Liverpool-United games is on the pitch and ducking a post-match television commitment after losing just made Ferguson look like he had bottled it.[LNB]Apparently the reason was more anger than cowardice, the United manager showing how childish he can still be by lumping the blame on Sky for his team having to play at Saturday lunchtime.[LNB]Never mind the fact that police input apparently held sway in deciding the timing, or that the broadcaster has just taken the lion's share of another £1.7billion rights deal to show Premier League action.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
