I've just watch United's under 21's take the first silverware of the season after demolishing City 4-1, and can honestly say the main difference between the two sides was James Wilson with his four goals. City dominated the first half, but didn't really create as many chances as they might have done. Still if they had gone into the half time break a goal up as they deserved to, who knows how it would have gone.
But that wonder goal in first half injury time seemed to knock the stuffing out of them. To be fair to them, it did come out of absolutely nowhere, Wilson won the ball near the half way line and then basically just ran straight through their back line finishing with a shot into the corner of the net.
Rothwell was took off at half time, pity, he doesn't seem to have started pre-season that well from what I can gather. He was replaced by Harrop who looks promising, and it was he who started the move that led tp Wilson getting the second. If you add Tom Lawrence to the list, United really started to dominate affairs and every time United found one of Wilson's runs, City were in trouble. I hope Van Gaal was watching, because there is no getting away from it, Wilson is just a little bit special.
Music
Buzzcocks - The Way: Stll going strong, it's a decent album, though there's not really anything on it that gets anywhere the quality of those first classic albums.
Downliners Sekt - Silent Ascent: Spanish electronica duo deliver a decent album that's apparently easier on the ears than their previous stuff, that's interesting because this isn't exactly radio friendly, like I said thoug worth a spin.
Fucked Up - Glass Boys: Another enjoyable slab of hardcore punk rock from the Canadians, not quite as good as their last long player, but not far off.
Kamkatchka - The search goes on: Scandanavian hard rock, at times they remind me a touch of Queens of the stone age, not as good obviously, but on a couple of tracks they're getting there, pretty good.
Matthew Halsall - Sending my love: Yet to hear his latest album that had the rave reviews, but I went back to his debut album and it's another little gem of a record.
Paolo Nutini - Caustic Love: Pretty enjoyable soul/rock from the Scot, I haven't really given his music a chance in the past, maybe I should go back to his earlier stuff.
Spain - Sargent place: I have read a couple of pieces about this US indie act, and they sounded like the kind of band that would be up my street. Well it did take a couple of listens, a bit of getting into, but once there, I did absolutely love it. So I will definitely have to delve into their lengthy back catalogue.
