How did Steve (Sunshine) miss that one! You're slipping, Steve!
I think it was basically hinted at in the original post.
Anyone else massively disappointed by Huddlestone's new 'do'?

If he'd left it like it looks on the still at the start of the video, he might have triggered a New Romantics revival.
Emmanuel Adebayor and former Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas fell out over a beanie hat.
Spurs supporters were mystified by Villas-Boas's stubborn refusal to pick the striker - despite Spurs' lack of firepower in front of goal - and now Sportsmail can reveal the astonishing reason.
At the beginning of the season, the Spurs striker walked into a team meeting wearing a hat and the Portuguese boss asked him to remove it; a request Adebayor declined.
Another Daily Mail inside scoop.
Well to some extent it's a bit stupid. Depends how AVB requested this though I suppose but the Boss should be the Boss.
There's been a fair bit of talk recently, in light of the most recent Mark Clattenburg allegations, that referees should be 'miked up'.
How about this - trial it for one game. A 3 o'clock Saturday game, so it's not nationally televised. The press don't know which game it is, the players are told in the dressing room before kick-off that the ref will be miked up, and the conversations are monitored privately, to judge the performance of the players and the ref.
COME ON FOREST.
Why are "professional" fouls so called? I cannot think of anything less professional than cynically taking out your opponent. They should be unprofessional fouls.
An unprofessional foul would be clumsy and ineffective. A professional foul should be like the assassin in the Day of the Jackal; cool, methodical and deadly.
I don't know about the book but in the film there was a fatal flaw which led to his failure to assassinate thingy and his own death. Why make it a single shot rifle? Madness, didn't make any realistic sense, made plot sense so the writer could have him fail but no realistic sense at all.

A member of staff turns up to a team meeting wearing a hat. You consider this to be unprofessional. Do you:
a) confront the member of staff concerned and order him to remove the hat?
b) close the meeting by making a general point about the standards of dress expected?
c) speak to the member of staff outside the meeting explaining your position?
I recently had to sit an on-line test to enable me to apply for a management position. There were a lot of questions like the above. I am not sure whether answer b) or answer c) would have scored me the most points; but I am pretty sure I would have scored zero for answer a).

Public remonstrations, especially in front of other staff members is about as unprofessional as you can get.
c) is of course the right option.
Though I think in AVB's case he mistook Adebayor's hair for a hat, thus causing ill feeling.
Can't believe that Moyes claims they're not looking to spend in January. I don't think they can afford not to.
