I suppose it's because he hasn't really played for them for months..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

ASTON VILLA OWNER Randy Lerner has spoken in depth for the first time about his reasons for appointing Alex McLeish - and believes this season has shown he has made the right choice.
The decisions to appoint ex-Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish enraged some fans, prompting protests over the summer. But Lerner insists that McLeish was the best candidate to provide the club stability.
McLeish arrived as the third manager in just over a year, with transfers for both Ashley Young and Stewart Downing in the air.
Speaking on the club's website, Lerner said: "Paul [Faulkner, chief executive] and I felt that, above all, the club needed stability.
"We needed a manager who would understand Villa and could bring credibility and experience to the dressing room and had chemistry with us and trust in our approach.
"We researched and debated and discussed probably two dozen odd managers from all over until we came to feel that, despite Alex's last post, he met the criteria.
"Not only is he affable and optimistic, well-liked and certainly well-respected among peers and players alike, but he fit our plan.
"He fit our feeling that a modern manager needs to balance the hysterical urgency to win and win quickly with the equally crucial need to not squander the work of our academy.
"The fans protests raised the stakes but, if we are right in terms of the fundamentals, then over time Alex will do as he's always done and that is make Villa better.
"What Paul and I knew was that he had the right ingredients. With some good luck, and his trademark hard work and commitment, we felt our chances would be good. We felt his strengths simply outweighed any concerns.
"When you spend time with Alex, a lot of the sensitivities go away very quickly. Time with Alex is not only engaging, it is compelling. He's pure football. That, in the end, is what you want."
Lerner also revealed he was further convinced about the appointment when a letter arrived from Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, praising the decision.
He added: "Sir Alex Ferguson wrote to me after the appointment, a proper letter, talking about his feelings about Alex. It was something you don't easily forget and it's now in a safe deposit box. Given what Sir Alex Ferguson means to the game of football, I don't think you could get many things that you would be more proud of, or reflect better on Alex McLeish."

I remember James Beattie telling me while he was at Everton that Moyes was nailed on to be the next Manchester United Manager and he acted that way to.
Just shows Fergie's shadow will live on......if by some miracle he was a success bet we would never hear the end of it.
Lucky he is wank and will be found out big time._____________________________________
Weak willed, Wank or do they have a masterplan?
Think we have the answer..Slot!!

Apparently Rooney could be persuaded to stay - assume he wants his wages doubling again..........Comment

I think he can be a success in the next few years. Moyes will be a glorified assistant manager with Ferguson's voice being heard the loudest for the next 3 to 5 years.Originally posted by red g View Post
However when Moyes really starts to have an influence on the squad, it is going to be interesting.Comment

Will be interesting to see how the media treat Moyes and Man U. Probably with deference for a year, then the knives will be out.
I also wonder how many stories will come out now that he's retiring, or will they wait til he shuffles off completely?Comment

Wayne Rooney could still be persuaded to stay at Manchester United despite telling the club he wants to leave, BBC Sport's Ben Smith reports.
The England international met with Sir Alex Ferguson a fortnight ago and told him that the time was right to move on. United insist Rooney, 27, will not be sold and the imminent appointment of Everton manager David Moyes could alter things.
Should the striker receive assurances that he is central to Moyes' plans, he could yet extend his nine-year stay.Comment
