Clearly he didn't mean to give an actual Nazi salute.

Why "clearly" ? It was the bit where he started the salute by touching his left shoulder and then straightening his arm which made it have all the hallmarks of the Nazi salute.

Did he put his finger over his lip too? Nonsense.

Nonsense? I saw it live and having an avid interest in WW2, I immediately thought it was a Nazi salute. It wasn't the raised hand so much as the touching of both shoulders followed by the raised arm. What did that mean? Strange. For someone brought up in Holland he should have known better but Holland had the highest number per capita sign up for the Waffen SS to fight in the Soviet Union. Thankfully, the gesture wasn't made against Spurs, then the s... would really have hit the fan whether he meant it or not.

I missed the argument between Jamie Rednapp and Gary Neville about whether all in the goals in the Premiership are down to poor defending (Neville) or exciting attacking (Rednapp indoctrinated by Sky). I quite like Neville as a pundit.

Roy Hodgson blasts West Brom striker Peter Odemwingie over injury problems

West Brom manager Roy Hodgson has reveald his frustration at the continued absence of striker Peter Odemwingie. After hearing that the Nigerian’s comeback against Tottenham this weekend is now in doubt, the Baggies’ manager has revealed his frustration towards the absent forward.

A knee injury picked up during a training session is the latest set-back for Odemwingie this season, with his scheduled comeback against Tottenham now thrown into doubt by the Baggies’ medical staff.

Hodgson told the Birmingham Mail: “Peter is difficult to work out - you’d have to speak to the doctor about him.

“This is still the same problem he’s had for a month.

“He was supposed to be fit for the Arsenal game but wasn’t. Then he was definitely going to be fit for the Bolton game but wasn’t.

“And he is supposed to be fit for the Tottenham game [this Saturday] and now there’s a doubt about that too. So I take any optimism with a pinch of salt

“I’m frustrated because we’ve got nothing out of him this year.

“He didn’t take part in many of the pre-season matches and he hasn’t taken part in many of the matches since then. It’s been one problem after another.”

The former Liverpool manager went on to compare the Nigerian to other players in the squad, seemingly questioning the striker’s commitment to the club.

“For a player who we really put so much into, in the hope that he will be the one who will be our major force for staying in the Premier League, at the moment we have not had much of a return,” he continued.

“We have a lot of players at the club who will play when not fully fit.

“That’s what makes it even harder when you get a player who is frustrated or is frustrating as it gets highlighted more when you’ve got the likes of the [Zoltan] Geras, the [Shane] Longs, the [Steven] Reids and the [Jerome] Thomases who play through pain every week.”

You managed to bring him into a Champions League forum earlier, you have his quote as your signature... and now this. I think the problem is more serious than I originally thought

Peter Odemwingie has tweeted a picture of his injury and stated he does care. This is the sort of carry that went on at Liverpool under the Hodg.

I was at The Emirates on Saturday. Poor enough match, Arsenal were seriously lacking urgency and Fulham actually looked the more accomplished footballing side, without any real killer instinct. The most impressive player on show, for me, was Fulham's Dembele. Apparently Spurs are looking to sign him and he only sees Fulham as a stepping stone towards something bigger.

**KK77** · 28/11/2011, 2:53 PM

Only saw the hilights myself so hard to go on but Arsenal didn't seem to apply much pressure after they scored. One half chance for Van Persie but nothing more.

**KK77** · 02/12/2011, 1:14 PM

Looking like MON for the Sunderland job. They made the right call getting rid of Steve Bruce imo. He had enough time and money to spend.

Manchester United have confirmed that captain Nemanja Vidic will miss the rest of the season after suffering knee ligament damage in their 2-1 defeat at Basel in the Champions League.

The centre-half twisted his right knee tussling with Basel's Marco Streller during the first half in Switzerland.

The Serbian and Streller chased down the ball and their legs tangled.

Vidic immediately looked in distress and was carried off on a stretcher before leaving the ground on crutches.

I'd give them pretty much zero chance of the PL now. In fact, they're lucky that the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal are so hit and miss because their top four place could also have been in jeopardy.
