The fewest goals conceded by a team relegated from the Premier League is 50, let in by Birmingham City in 2005-06. However, there is a more remarkable demotion in the Championship in recent seasons. Leicester City only conceded 45 goals from 46 league games in 2007-08, fewer than all three promoted clubs and a record only bettered by Crystal Palace, and went down. They did so with a goal difference of only minus three, although their tally of 42 goals still made them the division's lowest scorers.

Theo Walcott says Wayne Rooney's head injury is "like something from a horror film"

“I have seen the actual injury and it is not a nice sight to be honest. It is not going to help his looks I wouldn’t think," says Arsenal forward

Florian Marange is not happy. And understandably so. For those who haven't been keeping abreast of this one,
the French defender was signed in the summer by Holloway, but was then promptly left out of their 25-man
squad, meaning he, erm, can't play in the Premier League. "I'm disgusted," Marange told L'Equipe. "If I had known this rule, I would have a clause in my contract. But my
advisor did not tell me and now I am told that it is almost my fault. "We lost [at Bristol City] but I was not at fault for the two goals. I have only had seven or eight training sessions.
How can you judge a player after 10 days?" "No one intended for it to happen that way," chairman Steve Parish told The Evening Standard this week. "We
are trying to sort it out as best we can. "We will resolve it. We are mindful of where we've not covered ourselves in glory and other people just maybe
need to be mindful of where they've not covered themselves in glory. If everyone is sensible, we'll reach a good
conclusion, I'm sure." Quite what that conclusion is we're not sure, but it does paint an image of a manager who, quite frankly, isn't
entirely clear what he's doing. At the very least it suggests a manager with a very muddled plan. To sign a player
with no intention of playing him is at best a dicey way to treat a person, at worst a manager who shambles
through life signing any mediocre forward that enters his peripheral vision without really bothering with the rest of
the side. This, one might say, is how much Holloway cares about signing defenders - even when he does, he
forgets they're there. Of course, if Palace somehow beat Manchester United this weekend, nobody will care...

No Smoke Without Fire
Although Mediawatch understands Arsene Wenger's concerns over Jack Wilshere being photographed smoking a cigarette, it really doesn't enjoy the tedious outrage over such incidents. Wilshere is not the first footballer to enjoy a ciggy - or whatever they are called these days - and while it may be a ghastly habit, it isn't illegal. He's a grown man and he can make his own decisions.

Not only is he a grown man, but he's also a parent, as The Sun helpfully remind us with their 'expose' of a man smoking a cigarette. 'Proud...star with daughter' is the caption on a picture of this nicotine-fuelled monster cradling his young child. One can only hope the social services have been called.

"If he's struggling for fitness he shouldn't be hanging around outside nightclubs," a source/free-advice s**thouse told The Sun.

It's all depressingly dull and even more so when a story about Chris Hughton being racially abused on Facebook is tucked at the side of the Wilshere report seemingly as an after-thought or a space-saving filler.

Mediawatch expected that the most ridiculous reaction to Wilshere's heinous act would be seen on Twitter - typically a hotbed for overreaction, animosity and, above all, indecent amounts of sexual frustration. The 'footballers these days' crowd have certainly been enjoying themselves, but even they have been outdone by Wilshere's representative.

"Jack absolutely didn't smoke the cigarette, and nor does he condone smoking," said the anonymous spokesperson.

"Jack is utterly committed to fitness and a healthy lifestyle. In no way is this picture an accurate reflection of his attitude towards smoking."


It's a laughable excuse when Wilshere can be seen quite clearly puffing away on said cigarette, and also embarrassing that a 21-year-old man can't just admit to making a 'mistake' and move on.

Wilshere smoked a f**king cigarette. That's it. It's not like he's addicted to the hippy crack.

Best comment: "When Kevin Pietersen is getting the intellectual upper hand it's a pretty good sign that the battle's over."

Lol Wilshere needs Randhir in his corner. No wait Pietersen would still have intellectual upper hand...

Yeah..lol what are you trying to do, Wilshere is already out on a very shaky fragile limb...:D
