Quote of the day

"I have never met a more determined pro in my career."

Staggeringly, Colin Wanker was referring to none other than the Little Waster, who it's now feared will miss the whole campaign through injury first sustained within seven minutes of making his QPR debut. To be fair to Wanker, though, he might have been referring to Dyer's determination not to leave the treatment room. (Incidentally, I wonder if Dyer'll get any sympathy from his fellow ex-Toon colleague, or whether ASBO will be too busy learning the basics of leftist power analysis and generative grammar...)

In other news, a couple of ne'er-do-wells from the Dark Place have been arrested after damaging cars in the centre of Newcastle. Not exactly a big story, except for the fact that the two meat-headed morons in question actually play for the Mackems... I imagine Messrs Bendtner and Cattermole (the latter the club captain, no less) were like safari park chimps, snapping windscreen wipers and smearing shit on paintwork. Welcome to Sunderland, Martin O'Neill - this is what you've got to work with.
