Reserves win and more importantly play well

I caught the second half of their 2-0 win over Sunderland and what an improvement from the dire performance away to Wigan in the last match. The passing was much more like we are used to seeing from our youngsters. If they had took their chances they, it could have been a cricket score. Poor finishing and an inspired display from the mackems goalie Carson kept the scoreline down to just the two, with United only sealing it in the last minute. I was impressed with Brandy who was always a danger, and held the ball well all night. Needless to say he didn't have much support with Dong up front along side him. Evans display was a bit concerning though, the lack of games seemed to show, and i should think Keano, who was there wouldn't have recognised him from the player who helped them get promotion last season.

No Gary Neville again though.

His heart must surely have definitely been on the side of the plotters in 1991. Speaking of which the man picked by Gorbachev to head the KGB, not one of his better decisions i think gets an obituary in the guardian as democrats the world over say good riddance

Surely time to nationalise

Boys of 12 using anabolic steroids to get girls
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/nov/30/northernrock.creditcrunch
I found this passage alarming, "They do it because they want to be in boy bands and get girls," he said. Do heterosexual boys really want to be in boy bands to get girls, i must be getting old. And this bit of sarcasm amusing, Those who used anabolic steroids were often oblivious of the risks, which included acne, breast enlargement, sterility, liver tumours and hepatitis, the council chairman, Professor Sir Michael Rawlins, said. He added: "It can also make the testicles wither - which is probably not what the users want."
