You have a point and there were signs towards the end that he might make it (bar the horrid scuff against Man U that could have earned him sainthood) but somehow there was just something not right; rumour is it was personal more than football and there aint much anyone could do about it.

Well he wasn't the best finisher; 5 in 22 appearances is 1 in 4.4 games; Muzza was 34 in 115, one in 3.4. And, without being excessively anal, I suspect DU made proportionately more appearances in non PL matches than Muzza when he might have had the chance to improve his ratio. I recall seeing...
