Sir Alex Ferguson bristled and unleashed his best "turn to stone" glare at the mere hint that history might be about to wrap Manchester United in its warm embrace once more.
Ferguson was on familiar territory after against unfortunate Spurs at Wembley after a final that was intriguing without ever fulfilling its early promise.
The question was justified, the answer a perfect example of expectation management from a man who has mastered the art in a silver-lined Old Trafford career.
United have added the Carling Cup to the , have strengthened their grip on the Premier League even after a day off from that particular domestic combat, are in the last eight of the FA Cup and nicely placed to reach the Champions League quarter-final.
So, Ferguson was asked, can United successfully complete the biggest clean sweep of them all?
"It's a media thing" was Ferguson's dismissive, instant response. Far be it from me to disagree with the great man but it is not "a media thing"- it is a genuine, realistic possibility.
