    I live in Manchester and we had a department do on Thursday at quite a nice restaurant in the city centre called San Carlo.

    Anyway it is known as a bit of a WAG haunt and it was no suprise when I spotted Mort Gamst Pedersen on one table. But I was delighted to see the next guests arrive to be seated at the table beside us - Sir Alex, Big Sam, Peter Reid, Martinez, Moyes and Coyle!!!

    They genuinely looked like they were enjoying themselves and what I thought was even more interesting was the absentise!

    Aye well Reid isn't even a manger at the moment, but yes other than that there are only 15 other top flight managers not in attendance.

    Meanwhile, at a Maccers not too far away, Phil Brown, Tony Pulis and Rafa Benitez were spotted sharing a Happy Meal and packet of 6 chicken nuggets.

    Mark Hughes declined the invitation as he is more 'minted sheikh' than 'milkshake'.

    Is he not assistant at Stoke?

    So maybe he was there representing Pulis!

    He also has great respect amongst other managers for the job he did with Sunderland in guiding us to two respective 7th place Premier League finishes after winning the now Championship with a record points haul.

    I'm sure he's still good friends with the mentioned managers.

    I did notice that he was the first to leave straight after the meal.
