This is the scene in the boardroom restaurant at Manchester City FC.

On the right, my dad. On the left, his friend Gordon. My dad's ability to generate a discussion-cum-argument is surpassed only by Gordon's.

At the moment this photo was taken, they were fiercely debating the credentials of various managers with reference to the appointment of Fabio Capello as England boss.

I may have to wade in shortly and separate them. Normally I'm the one who ends up frantically defending my views in the face of Gordon's vigorously asserted opinion. What a joy to watch my dad on the back foot. And the game doesn't even start for another hour!
