Colo no go

The Silver Fox has today confirmed that Sideshow Bob is not leaving this month and will remain both as player and captain until the summer at the earliest.

Frankly, it's great news.

Having already shown, against Norwich, that he can continue to perform brilliantly on the pitch despite the private strife, the prospect of him being around while Saylor returns to full fitness and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa beds in is massively reassuring.

Now we can concentrate on getting the team prepared for Tuesday's massive game against Aston Villa.
