Does anyone know if MON was there last night?

I have not seen an interview with him yet.

Yes.

Could see him on the bench in the Sky highlights.

Wearing a suit. Probably off to see Huntelaar at Heathrow afterwards.

Why, was he giving him a lift to WHL?

I believe it is referred to as "The Lane" these days.

Don't change it to Manchester though John, because you can't be a proper fan then ;)

Any idea who was captain last night? Assume it was Petrov but would be interested to know who took over when he went off.

Young could certainly play as a striker - done it before. But I don't know if last night was a hint of things to come or more a case of no other strikers available; no Gabby, Delfouneso, Heskey or Weinmann. Carew was the only recognised striker there last night.

Wee Barry played as the lone striker for the last 20 mins!


James Collins came on. He's a striker.

Yes he is, Maz, yes he is. He got 5-10 mins, I think. Shaved head, no? Not sure he touched the ball. I'd forgotten about him, to be honest.

Well, it's already been decided that I don't care about the Villa as I'd be prepared to give Aidan McGeady a chance if we signed him.

Thats him. He's a old fashioned forward. Strong, holds the ball up, can finish well. I'm not yet convinced he'll make it at Villa, especially as he's up against the likes of Delfouneso and Weimann but he has potential.

It was on the transfer thread a week or so ago - good luck finding it!
