Andy O Brien had a great game for Newcastle today against the Gunners. I've long been a fan of his and believe he has earned a chance to prove himself in the heart of the Irish Defence. I'm hoping he is picked to play on Wednesday.
Neither O'Shea or Dunne played in the Manchester Derby today. But apparently Cunningham (although Birmingham lost) had a very good game v Arsenal.
He's got the potential and talent for all to see but is a bit raw, though this season he seems to have put in some fantastic preformances. If he forms a partnership with Woodgate at club level that works, that experience could benefit him and his Irish future.
