1. Is Gareth Southgate's nose getting larger with age? Or his mouth getting wider? It could be an optical illusion in front of the camera, but I sense that there is something going on there. 2. Goal of the month on MOTD. Rooney's chip? Are these people stark raving bonkers? Henry's goal, or those of Milner and Martins were stonking efforts that were easily better than Rooney's chip. Or those cup games where a player ran the full length of the field practically. This is clearly an example of the ongoing bias towards Man U and their star player. If you like chips so much, then just think about Albert's goal a few seasons back. 3. Bitterness in defeat. I am getting more than a little tired of managers being poor losers. They are all guilty of it of course, at one time or another, but it was Benitez this time. Even Bellamy had the grace to say well done to the victorious side. Benitez just whine about giving away poor goals and that they should have been 10-0 up at half time, or some similarly daft scenario. The goal they scored wasn't a silly one either, of course. No, that was a well crafted move that started from Stevie Harper's boot. 4. You can't have Hansen and Shearer on MOTD at the same time. You have two Alans then, which leads to confusion. One should be called A and one B if you are going to persist with that strategy. Which leads onto... 5. Lawro was conspicuous by his absence after his team lost. Interesting. 6. Sky aren't getting away with it either. Phil Thompson as an unbiased level headed match commentator on Soccer Saturday? Are you having a laugh? The victory just makes it sweeter, I guess, but come on people. You can do better than that. 7. Well done Babayaro. Top man given the circumstances. 8. Was it me or did Ferguson look greyer haired than usual? 9. I presume West Ham will be vilifying Curbishley and Pardew as much as they have done the gentleman Roeder? Because if anything they are doing even worse
