Please, the Master and the Rani weren't exactly the only enemies he ever had. Even if the Black Guardian somehow went down with Gallifrey, the Doctor's had at least nine centuries of bopping through all of creation offending many of the people he's come across.
And I know somewhere in my backbrain there's another example that isn't swimming to the surface, of the guy who you're never happy to see (even though he is a good guy) because he only shows up when everything is going down in flames. And the Doctor tends to precede the crisis point, so for those who keep track of his appearances at the very least it's a very bad sign when he turns up (because that may be the first indicator that things are going downhill very quickly) -- and it's certainly easy for someone who doesn't have the viewer/Doctor/Companion POV to blame him (especially if they don't know that the TARDIS decides where to drop him so much of the time).
