Huth gets a 3 match ban

Had a dream last night that I got a Christmas card from Peter Lovenkrands.  Was gutted when I woke up.  It had M&S vouchers in it and everything.

Jamie Redknapp's weekend watch:

GEORDIE PRIDE

Did you notice the biggest gate of the day on Saturday? 43,949 fans turned up to watch Newcastle play Doncaster. I know they are top of the Championship, but those Geordie supporters are something else after what has happened to their club.

No surprise it was an ex-player though not a football journo.

Marca just debuted an opta-like ranking, encompassing all players from the EPL/La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga/Ligue 1. I'll paste the Top 100. I was a bit surprised about who's currently topping the charts... (also, the ranking encompasses the past 12 months, so there's technically a Newcastle player on the list).

They track a boatload of player actions during a game, but the system seems to favour heavily players that play in a lot of games, and are in teams that progress far in competitions (so they can score points in more games).

Dennis Wise has pulled out of a £30million bid to buy League One Charlton.

Former Millwall boss Wise and business partner Tony Jiminez dropped out after their Middle East backer ended interest in the debt-ridden club.
