Yes. He hasn’t played in a month, so Bruce wanted to see him train for a bit first. I wouldn’t be entirely shocked not to see him on the bench next week either.

It's a bit of bad luck for Elmohamady. The way the ball came back at him he couldn't control it or aim where he was clearing it. All he could do was hit it and hope for the best, which turned out to be a bit unfortunate.

Reminded me of Peter Kay in his ‘have it...’ commercial

He stumbles slightly before making contact as well. If you're to score an own you might as well smash it in stylishly.

Thanks Legion. Absolute certain penalty.

As soon as I saw it I gave a little celebratory fist pump as I was sure it was going to be given.

I'm just happy with the three points we didn't play well but still won which is a good sign.

That's the most penalty penalty I've ever seen.

Nah, Kenny Burns handled one on the line when we played Forest in the late seventies early eighties, and when I say handled I mean his arm was at right angles to his body as he reached for it!  The only one who thought it wasn't a penalty was the referee.

That was a disgraceful one yesterday mind.

Nah James Milner against the Noses in 2010 is the biggest stick on penalty I've ever seen.

I was bitter about that for weeks. We pummelled them and they broke away and won 1-0. It was a Wednesday night game the year they won the league. Shilton also made a real wonder save from a Mortimer pile driver but probably got less on the ball than Burns had!

Thanks Legion. There’s some really great passing with purpose at the moment. Snodgrass’s pass was pass of the season, bloody wonderful vision.
