'A long road in to the end of May!'
Gary Neville summed up the feeling of most Manchester United fans the morning after their dismal exit from the Champions League.
Not that there was anything remotely surprising about this United side being out-smarted by an Atletico Madrid team who specialise in football's dark arts.
So that will be a fifth straight season without silverware for United but they do still have plenty to play for between now and the end of the season, even if it's tempting to write it off as a hopeless cause.
