1. Last minute winners from Nicklas Bendtner now? A Sun-style apology might be due from OTP soon.
2. Craig Gordon is the unluckiest player of the weekend. His excellent performance deserved to win all three points for Sunderland against Manchester City.
3. George Boateng has been watching too much Six Nations action (see video above).

1. Nicklas Bendtner and Mame Biram Diouf could potentially form the country’s most lethal strike partnership.
2. The timing of FIFA’s decision to reject goal-line technology yet again was absolutely impeccable. Just ask David James.
3. If BBC 6 Music and Asian Network are getting scrapped to save the Beeb money, surely the Portsmouth fan club subscriptions [...]

1. John Terry’s decision to show off his eye-catching new haircut during his big showdown with Wayne Bridge speaks volumes.
2. Fernando Torres’ return is a massive boost for Liverpool. They looked a far more potent threat against Blackburn, even if they did nearly have to make do with a draw.
3. Chelsea are going to miss [...]

1. Wayne Rooney’s knee flu sounds really nasty. I’m sure Sir Alex Ferguson has a sneaky plan afoot, I just don’t know what it is yet (except that it probably involves Rooney not playing for England).
2. Wayne Rooney’s head is quite incredible. Peter Crouch must be fearing that his uses in the England squad are [...]

1. Diego Milito should contact Max Clifford. He is the latest to have done John Terry.
2. Sod’s law for Chelsea: Petr Cech gets what appears to be a serious knee injury in an innocuous looking fall, Hilario miskicks about six consecutive kicks and escapes unscathed.
3. Lucio was absolutely superb for Inter.

1. David Moyes’ super subs did the trick against Manchester United.
2. Toffees fans who were disgruntled about their 5.45pm kick-off against Sporting Lisbon last week might be thankful if that’s the sort of European hangover an early start promotes.
3. If any made it to the end of Manchester City-Liverpool, please feel free to let us [...]

1. It wasn’t what you would call a good send-off.
2. Talking of send-offs, the two players red-carded in the Merseyside derby can feel very hard done by. It must have been a token gesture by Martin Atkinson.
3. That latest round of results has really shaken things up. Who could have envisaged a top four like [...]
