There''s no bias, all three are in on merit in fact it''s a little disappointing Wessi isn''t in there too.Still he''s very complimentary in his assesment of the three he did pick:

GOALKEEPER - JOHN RUDDY, NORWICHJohn RuddyIf I hadn''t seen it I would never have believed it. Norwich City out-battled and out-fought Manchester United. John Ruddy''s display embodied the grit and determination of Norwich City''s team performance. Among a string of stops, his save from Ashley Young was world class and the turning point in a game they deserved to win.Did you know? Ruddy made six saves against Man Utd and kept his fifth clean sheet of the season - the joint-most in the Premier League this season.

LEFT-BACK - JAVIER GARRIDO, NORWICHJavier GarridoYou can''t beat the first-time cross! That''s what my greatest mentor told me many years ago. He was right then and Javier Garrido proved him right again against Manchester United. His superb cross was only matched by Anthony Pilkington''s excellent header. The fact that he saw off Antonio Valencia into the bargain is not to be sniffed at either.Did you know? Garrido is the first defender to assist a goal against Man Utd in the Premier League this season. CENTRE-BACK - MICHAEL TURNER, NORWICHMichael TurnerI saw this defender struggle earlier in the season. I couldn''t believe it was the same player against Manchester United. He had Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez to contend with and yet he still showed plenty of courage and composure in a fixture that required concentration and desperate blocks. He is proving to be the perfect partner for Sebastien Bassong.Did you know? Turner made 13 clearances against Man Utd on Saturday - the most he has done in a home fixture this season.

Plus he has a huge dig at Colin under his write up for Puncheon.

And is that him on the left of the picture of the directors/owners jumping for joy at the final whistle?

Yep! !

Great photo....

Roy''s face totally says "And of all the eligible players on the pitch, of course it''s not my selection who are performing (other than Ruddy)". Funny how long-winded and contrived-sounding his thoughts are.

Could just have been "Dammit, David, I was enjoying that pie".

No coincidence that he has started putting city players in since his ex team mate took charge ?   [:D]

It''s a great shot. McNally and MWJ are my fave reactions. Also love the reactions of the ''non'' fans in the shot, principally Woy and Garth. Woy has the slightly bewildered look of a man who feels like he''s in the wrong end.

Who is the blonde who you can usually spot at most games next to Bowket? Is it his daughter. Have also noticed a young Asian lady attending quite a few games with Delia and co. She''s a hottie!
