Yeah, he seems less gormless these days. Having a beast of a partner next to him at United has done him good, he's having a brilliant season. I'd prefer him to Terry probably, but i'm still sceptical as to how much a captain actually does?
It isn't like cricket where the captain picks who bowls each over, and changes the fielding set up or anything like that i.e. the manager on the pitch. Dunno.
