Indeed. Though if I was Sir Alex Ferguson and saw someone scribe that he could not get a single point out of a squad of players than Andy Thorn then I may be paying a visit to my libel lawyer.....

Legal precedent says message boards count as slander actually. The judge said the give and take was more like a pub than a publication.
Not sure half the posters in here would get into a pub though so maybe the argument falls apart on SBT.

Speaking of Sir Alex, did you see the feature on the official MUFC website the other day when Brown joined? It reiterated Thorn's assertion that the deal went through as we had nurtured Norwood so well last year that we were trusted with a prized asset this. Reproduction on the official site gives it some credibility, don't you think?

Can I nominate RoD for captain then?

I said Connor Thomas when the Cov Telegraph Twitter asked, its my opinion. It also made it onto the website

Can't see past Zinedine Kilbane. Level headed, good positionally and don't see any evidence of being injury prone

The Wdge had it today which I thought was a strange choice. I've not held a conversation with him but I expect his English is limited. I am sure he didn't have a clue what Attwell was telling him today when he was called over as captain when our 17 (still unsure who he was) was being warned about his challenges. He certainly didn't make any effort to have a word with his team mate! Saying that, the edge outs some meaty challenges in himself and gave away a pen which wasn't given but should have been imo

17 looked useful I thought: surely we can get a definitive answer to who he is?
It's the kind of managerial master stroke I have come to expect - make the none english speaking new boy captain. Thorn loves his Central Defender captains though - guess it's because he was a CB. I bet he makes a CB captain this season.

I would say the candidates are:
McSheffrey
Edje
Wood
Kilbane
Bruno (if he joins)
Bruno looked like a leader on the pitch yesterday. Thomas is too young, Kilbane won't be a regular starter. I think Wood will stay, if only because nobody else will take on his wages, but again I don't see him as first choice. McSheffrey is the obvious candidate but his form is so uneven and he plays in a role where most othe players are behind him - also he doesn't come across as an inspiring leader. Edje was fine yesterday but if his English is limited than I vote no to him too. So if Bruno joins and he starts regularly, give it to him as he looked the part yesterday.
