Bigger Lad charged

Back in December, Bigger Lad contrived to get himself arrested on suspicion of assault after an incident on the Quayside.

Well, it seems that as well as moving our game against Cardiff to Friday night, the local constabulary have found time to charge the scourge of the Bluebirds' defence, who is now due to appear before magistrates later this month.

Whether the case is ultimately proven remains to be seen, but the effect on his mental state in the meantime will inevitably be cause for concern for Chris Hughton.

Still, in the eyes of the law Bigger Lad is innocent until proven guilty - sadly not a state of affairs which translates itself on to the football pitch, with news that referees are more likely to penalise taller players. The heightist bastards.
