Fergie hopes Giggs wins the PFA player of the year

So do i, he has been our best player of the season for me. Vidic had a great spell in the middle of the season and seems to have recovered have his recent alarming dip in form but it would have to be Giggs for me. Whether he does win, who knows, there is always the chance that Gerrard will sneak through.

Carrick thinks United should be keeping Tevez in the summer. He seems to be a popular member of the squad, you can't help wondering if the squad are as keen on Berbatov.

Wes Brown back in training and ready for the final lap of the season, we hope.

Wembley pics
view from the coach park, looking the other way there is a big Ikea store for all the football romantics amongst you.
View from the new wembley way, looking unimpressed

View of the warm up, no grumbles about that it was a pretty good view




Music

Band of horses - Cease to begin: Aother good slice of American rock on this second album.
Bob Dylan - Pat Garrett and Billy the kid: I wasn't sure how much i would like this. I have seen parts of the film but never all the way through. It's pretty good stuff, not a classic but good enough.
Bob Dylan - Self portrait: I had read some pretty appaling reviews of this before i listened to it, and have to agree it ain't that good. It starts alright but never really clicks and then just starts to drag and it's pretty hard listening through right to the end. There are a few decent tunes on it amongst the first 10 or so tracks but after that it really starts to outlast it's welcome.
Dinosaur Jr. You're living all over me: if you like your rock with scuzzy distorted guitars, the these are a great group. I love J. Masics guitar work, echoes of Neil Young amongst others. There is a great version of Frampton's show me the way at the end.
James Yorkston - When the haar rolls in: As different from Dinosaur Jr as you can get is the folk of James Yorkston. I like this , but it seems a bit commercial. The songs overcome that though, midnight feast in particular being a cracker.
Stephen Stills - Stephen Stills: I can't believe i have never heard this because it is one hell of an album. Great tunes, guest appearances from Clapton and Hendrix and great musicianship from Stills himself. Love the one your with is the song everybody will have heard but there plenty more pearlers.
Toots and the Maytals - In the dark: Another classic album, this time a reggae classic. Again great musicianship and great tunes, there is even a great reggae version of country road. I'd sooner here that at old trafford than that monstrosity that we occasionaly have to endure.
