Club versus country ?

Henry Winter regards Phil Jones as too good to be involved in a club v country battle. What the fuck, i didn't even know he was involved in one, but saying he was, who the fuck pays the guys wages.
He may be on to something as regards him finding a settled position, but given his injuries, getting games where he can, would seem the best use of him, for his own career and for United at the moment. I suspect his best position will be centre half, but when he can a do the job that he has done for us recently against first Spurs, then Everton and finally in Madrid he will be getting plenty more games ite middle of the park for the rest of the season and possibly for next term as well. Let's face it, that's another summer where Fergie won't have to fork ou for that midfield dynamo that everybody seemingly craves.


Paul Scholes will be out for another two weeks according to Fergie, no doubt the rumours that have circulated recently, that he mighthave retired won't go away until he actually steps foot on the Old trafford turf again.

Music
Goat - World music: I don't do albums of the year, but if i'd heard this last year when it was brought out, it would have been one of mine. A wild clash of style's, it's a fantastic fusion of brilliance.

Maximo park - The national health: I loved their debut album, but whilst this is still a decent album with some pretty good tunes on it, they have never really threatened to better it.

The Cribs - In the belly of the brazen bull: Less Johnny Marr nowadays, but stll delivering the indie goods, one of the better UK indie groups about today, powerful and catchy tunes. Whilst they are no virtuoso musicicans, they don't plod like some UK bands i could mention.

The Jim Jones revue - The savage heart: I have read this group praised for a few years now, but hadn't heard them until this album. I get the hype now, this is an excellent set of tracks. There's no originality, but what they do, they do very well.

The Shins - Port of morrow: I can't say that i'm that big a fan of this US indie group, but this is a prettty good album. On the pop side of the indie world, they make pretty good radio friendly rock.
