Take Alonso's sentences. The most cocky thing he said is that we were superior to Manchester in both games, which is a fact.
It's the journo, just before those quotes who uses the expression "cracking up". And if you do this before the quotes, you give those quotes another meaning.
Agree on that, they haven't really said a great deal but players, managers and fans are all equally aware that the press will take any quote and it spin it to their advantage. I'd just like to see all of our guys staying ultra humble, pointing out that the title is the mancs to lose and we'd rather be in their position.
spot on
Yes that would be the best way to add pressure on mancs... Its all theirs to lose
