The man of the match award ought to have gone to Gareth Barry rather than the 34-year-old substitute, since the Aston Villa player was not just composed but also incisive. Even so, Beckham effortlessly showed an accomplishment beyond the reach of many younger players. There will be exasperation that he cannot be overlooked even in his dotage.
I still maintain he'll be back at the Villa if not next summer then the summer after.
too old by then. Never go back.
If Man City do well and get into the champions League then they can attract the top players with their money. Barry will be dropped like a stone and we'll probably pick him up for £4m - £5m.I'd certainly have him back.
i'd still have JPA back though
Quote from: "john e"i'd still have JPA back thoughIs this a joke?
Kevin McCarra must have had a bang on the head if he thinks Barry was man of the match..
