Rooney's stunning overhead kick settled theManchester derby in United's favour last week, but Summerbee is already fed up of seeing it[LNB] He said: 'Most of the comments after my appearance have been positive and I thank people for that. [LNB]'I did lose my temper a little bit. [LNB]'What annoys me with the media sometimes is that they only see United. They go on as though we don't exist and that annoys me. [LNB]'I don't mind banter, I don't even mind jokes at our expense, but when I feel the progress that we have clearly made - on and off the field - is being ignored then it gets my goat.[LNB] 'I was proud of the way we knocked the ball around at Old Trafford. We played some lovely football and on another day would have got at least a point out of the game.[LNB] Back in form: City smashed Notts County 5-0 on Sunday in the FA Cup[LNB] [LNB]'There are many City fans who will be sick of hearing that United are looking over their shoulder at us. But I believe the Reds are not hearing us coming behind them but are looking at us right alongside now.'[LNB] Last weekend's derby was settled by a superb Wayne Rooney overhead kick, a goal United manager Sir Alex Ferguson described as one of the best he had ever seen. [LNB]Summerbee added: 'I am already fed up of seeing and reading about that Rooney goal. It was special - any football fan would admit that - but you can have too much of it.[LNB]'The day after the derby I came back from watching my grandson score two goals in his Sunday morning match, switched on the telly and there was that goal again.
