Before I opened the link, I thought the article was about Gustavo Poyet. He was actually knicknamed Motor Mouth :-)

He was called the radio as well

Former Chelsea and England centre forward Kerry Dixon knocked a drinker off a bar stool and punched and kicked him on the ground, a court has heard.

 

Luton Crown Court was shown footage of the attack at The Nags Head in Dunstable last May after the man allegedly called Mr Dixon a "fatso".

 

Mr Dixon, 53, who lives in the town, denies causing actual bodily harm.

 

The court was told Mr Dixon will be claiming he struck out in a "pre-emptive strike" in self defence.

 

The attack by the former footballer, who also played for Luton Town, Southampton and Reading, was captured on the pub's CCTV at 12:40 BST on 15 May 2014.

 

In the footage, Mr Dixon is seen punching 38-year-old father-of-two Ben Scoble in the face, sending him to the ground.

Deary me!

Grim stuff. He needs Gerrard's lawyers (and jury).

Kerry Dixon guilty of assault.Told by judge he could face custodial sentence. Sentencing on Friday, June 19.

Sounds like a bit of a twat

If he's guilty then he's an idiot and deserves his punishment, not gonna get any sentiment from me.

He gets around, good luck to him

Butch!

SMASHING

Wilkins to Villa makes sense. Loads of good pubs/bars in Birmingham

Not very nice comment of his medical complaint, comparing it to a drinking problem.

Former Chelsea forward Sir Demba Ba has signed for Didier Drogba's old club Shanghai Shenhua in a deal that was yesterday reported to be a "possible" record for the Chinese Super League.

I thought DD left them because they couldn't afford to pay the wages they'd promised him, now they're going to spend £11m on Ba and presumably pay him a handsome wage? 

 

Why is Ba leaving Turkey anyway, hasn't he just had a blinder of a season out there?

Yes Ba scored 27 goals in 44 games so he did well in Turkey. Apart from the obvious financial incentives I don't think this is a good move for his career.

My name is Sir Maximus Demba Ba, commander of the Armies of the South West, General of the John Terry's blue army, loyal servant to the true emperor, Roman Abramovich. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this game against Slippery Stevie G"

Frank's first day at NYCFC

There was a couple if years when I really really wanted us to sign villa from valencia. Linked so many times but nothing materialised, I bet frank and David villa are very excited to be playing together.

Ba has joined Shanghai Shenua for some reason (£££).

 

And Anelka as just been announced as player/manger for Mumbai City FC....

Nicolas Anelka named Mumbai City player-manager

Former Chelsea and Arsenal striker Nicolas Anelka has been named player-manager of Mumbai City.

Anelka, 36, played for the Indian Super League side last season under ex-Manchester City manager Peter Reid.

"He impressed us all with his tactical knowledge and excellent motivational skills," said Mumbai City co-owner and Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor.

Anelka has filled a player-coach role before during a season spent at Chinese club at Shanghai Shenhua in 2012.

The Frenchman only managed two goals in seven league games in his first season at Mumbai but returns as the club's 'marquee' player, meaning he is eligible for a higher salary.

I give it 3 months.
