First Carlton Cole, now Steven Pienaar

Well just as we thought the Respect campaigns had spilled off the field and our footy boys weren't going to get up to anything naughty this season, a rash of bad behaviour has struck. Firstly Carlton Cole - was he drunk? If he wasn't what the hell was he doing driving round at that time in the morning? Finely tuned athletes my arse. Hope Zola gave him a proper bollocking.

Now it seems that Everton's Steven Pienaar is on bail following an alleged assault on a Liverpool woman in a flat in the city over the weekend. Here's what I think will happen. This Sunday, big story in the News Of The World, player disappears for a week to the reserves, slapper gets tabloid cash, charges quietly dropped. It happened to Ronaldo, it happened to Jonny Evans, heck, it even happened to David Sullivan (Birmingham co-owner) this week.

Once again, slappers one, footballer nil. Nice work love.*
