Where: Old Trafford, 12.45
What you hope to see: Ronaldo refusing to turn up or be seen in public because his six-year old nephew shaved his eyebrows off in his sleep.
What you’re likely to get: Herman Hreidarsson. That’s it really, we just hadn’t laughed at his name in a while.

Because he's worth it...

Hairpieces, roly-ploy throw-ins and Grumpy Old Men...

Where: Ewood Park, 15.00

Fact! Jimmy Bullard is a member of the national hairpiece alliance along with Terry Wogan and Bruce Forsyth.

Jose still loves the Blues....

If you're feeling sinister...

And by love, we mean he wants to "kill" them of course...

The Special One hasn't been as missed at Stamford Bridge as some maybe thought he would be, with Avram Grant filling the Portuguese large shoes admirably since his departure. And Jose's kept rather quiet in the meantime, as the media turn to Kevin Keegan to fill their newspaper columns with comedy soundbites. But now the big man is back, and with an almighty bang.

"I still feel Chelsea is a part of me, I'll have Chelsea in my heart forever, I left and for five months you couldn't get a bad word from me in relation to the club and you cannot do it in the future too."

Ah, isn't that sweet. Well, until the man tipped to take over at Barcelona was asked about the possibility of coming up against his side in the Champions League in future,

"If I play them in the Champions League, I want to go there and kill them - that's my message."

How pleasant. And they say time is a good healer...
