I'm no great fan of the Mancs, but the amount of crap they get over that, which was in no way their fault is just unending. The FA insisted they take part in the World Club thing, and exempted them from the FA Cup in order to make more space in the calendar for them to compete. The FA were completely and totally to blame, it was nothing to do with the Mancs at all, who didn't even want to be in the competition.

Not to say they haven't done other crappy things, but on this one at least, they are pretty blameless
