My Lucky Day

I think Sir Alex sums it up best when he says, “It’s just one of those days it wasn’t going in.” We should have won it. Instead we lost. Missing out on taking advantage of Chelsea only drawing. On the plus side I thought that we're getting some sharpness back, if not in front of goal, at least with our passing, which had been lacking early part of the season. It's looking good for the second half of the season.
The match reports? On the whole they accept we were the better team. That doesn't stop a certain amount of stupidity getting through though. Ian Herbert in The Independent is, obviously, a culprit:

Wayne Rooney's frustrations took hold as they so often do when he is the lone striker.

What? He's referring to the "dive," which in the paper's stereotyped narrative is nothing to do with "frustation," isn't it the opposite? One must be fairly calm to think to act in that way surely?
This one in The Telegraph is just a bit rubbish.
The Sunday Times is about the best, the description of the early stages:

United were in utter control during its opening phase and only bloody-minded penalty box defending by Cuellar and Dunne stopped Antonio Valencia scoring at least twice. It took 20 minutes for Villa to have enough ball to mount one of their counter-attacks; one thrust was all Ashley Young needed to find Agbonlahor for Villa’s stunning goal. United were astounded to be behind...

The Observer isn't bad, but not worth quoting.
Ending as we began, with Sir Alex talking common sense - The Sun has him on timekeeping - which again didn't favour us:

"The timing should be taken out of the referee's hands.

"Those two stoppages took two minutes and 20 seconds, and then there were the substitutions on top of that. That is disappointing.

"It is silly really. We are nearly in 2010. A change should be made."
