Fiddlesticks

Apparently, Kieron Dyer has "felt a twinge" in his hamstring again, preventing him from returning against Arsenal on Saturday.

Now, the biggest shock for me is that Dyer was even considering the prospect of a return to first team action. Surely the chance to sit on his arse as another manager falls by the wayside has its appeal for Kieron. After all, he’s becoming something of a Nero like figure at St James' – fiddling (or more specifically feeling his hamstring) whilst Newcastle’s season burns.

The difference is that Nero only did this once…
