FAS Dean Ashton and other midweek notes...

Mr. Ashton proved again in stoppage time that he is a stud and, Mr. Hall, if you would like to mock my unabashed praise, well, take him out of your line-up next week and see how that works out for you - or you could just ask Dan ;-) But I'd rather have a repeat of last year's Yakubu fiasco on your part. And, btw, if there will be no Yakubu jersey forthcoming - I'd gladly accept an Ashton gamer as a substitute when I arrive on your shores next month.

Jeremy formally welcomed me to the Morten Gamst Pedersen bandwagon this afternoon and expects to welcome more of you soon if the injury that caused him to leave after 74 minutes doesn't prevent him from playing in Blackburn's next match. Who would have guessed that there would be two Blackburn players worth starting on any given week? Three this week since Friedel did quite nicely with a few saves, a win and a clean sheet.

Finally, could there be any sweeter outcome of the ManYoo/Everton match (for me) than Rooney having a lot of SOTs but not scoring, Ronaldo with a yellow, Neville with a Red for being stupid and ManYoo losing. As they say, good times!! Wonder how the board feels about all that money that Sir Alex has spent on strikers over the last 14 months (paging Mssrs. Saha, Smith & Rooney at a combined total of something like 50 million pounds).
