Happy New Year from the FA

Well, well. It appears that FA has grown a pair and is about do us a New Year favour for once. Looks rather as though the assassin-faced baby may well be suspended for our game with United on Saturday. He's being done for violent conduct after his handbags-at-forty-paces incident with Tal Ben Haim in their Boxing Day game against Bolton and if found guilty - judgment to be delivered today - his suspension will start immediately. Which would be something of a bonus in light of our current injury list. Anything which might help ameliorate the effects of George Boateng's absence is extremely welcome.
