Scudamore seems to think it's unthinkable.

The Times come up with a wired Vidic to City report. Where have they been fed that from. If all the rumours are right his missus hates Manchester, so she is hardly likely to want her hubby to sign for the berties.

Meanwhile the news of the world reports that Vidic is alienating his teammates with the way he is conducting himself.

Music
Ian Brown - My way: As usual with Ian Brown i think it's ok but no more. He's never got anywhere near the quality of the stone roses as a solo artist. Then again he was their weak link, he still can't sing.

Isaac Hayes - Black Moses: A classic soul album, i'm not usually made on albums largely or wholly made up of covers but he does something interesting with all the covers on this record.

King Tubby's special 1973-76: A classic dub album from the seventies. It's made up of two sides, with two producers. They are both class but the first produced byWinston Holness is the better for me.

The bad plus - Prog: They made their name as a jazz band covering rock albums and they do it pretty well. This cover of Rush's Tom Sawyer is cracking.

The Flaming lips - Embryonic: Another solid effort, i like the influence of Krautrock that appears at times on this album. They don't stand still, it's not an easy listen, but rewarding.

The night marchers - See you in magic: A cracking rock album from the latest project from the former rocket from the crypt man.
