Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Manchester United's trips to Everton are always "a nightmare." And this does not take into account the Wayne Rooney factor.
After six days of his best player being plastered over the front pages because of those damning allegations in his private life, it took Ferguson just 16 words to inform the world he would not be responsible for any further comment.
"It is always a nightmare going there and it wouldn't matter whether it was Dixie Dean playing for us. It is a hard place to go to.
"The atmosphere is fantastic. But we have had to deal with it for many years and there is no problem with our record there."
