He was on the bench for toto game(s?) but haven't seen him since. He wasn't even on the bench yesterday! Has he played at all this season yet?

I believe he went on holiday after the intertoto.

Was hoping could rant on about Gunther shutting him out... ;-)

I'm up for the ranting thing.
How can a manager leave out the supporters player of the season? I'm first to admit I leveled heaps of abuse at Naps in my time, but even I've made the conversion (Gnome Mulligan, please note - you win over supporters by playing well, like you did in Longford, not by sulking and getting sent off, like you did in Latvia). Why should a player get stick for showing loyalty to a manager? Shame Naps is such a sound guy, otherwise he might give Grunter a piece of his mind and dish out a bit of the old justice.
