All the s are coming out

Adot, yes I do, including comments on the Wolves website, which are now being hastily withdrawn.

Stan Collymore couldn't resist a dig also but he soon deleted the tweets. Not sure what he tweeted exactly.

No apology, explanation or condolenses from those pair of grade a s

His agent was Eric Manasse NOT his brother

Let's face it, Stan Collymore and Rodney Marsh aren't exactly the brains of Britain are they.

Fair play adot

that makes sense

so its not his brother that has died

LATEST -


West Bromwich Albion will hold talks with Nicolas Anelka to discuss his Hawthorns future when he returns from compassionate leave.

The Baggies striker has been granted time off following the death of one of his agents and close friend Eric Manasse .

The 34-year-old turned up to training on Thursday morning in a fairly distressed state, cleared out his locker and asked for an immediate meeting with sporting and technical director Richard Garlick.

It was during this meeting that Anelka, who tonight paid tribute to Manasse on Facebook, cast doubt over his playing future, indicating that he would like to retire with immediate effect.

However, the meeting was amicable with Anelka being granted time-off.

Speculation on Twitter at first suggested that Anelka had already quit.

That is not the case with Doug Pingisi, who manages Anelka's affairs confirming this in French press, saying: "Nicolas has not ended his career."

Albion do, however, plan to hold further discussions when he returns to try to establish how the land lies.

I understand Steve Clarke has also been in touch with him to check on his well-being.

Anelka has played just one competitive game for Albion, making his Premier League debut for the club in last weekend’s defeat to Southampton .

The former Arsenal and Chelsea man joined the Baggies on a free transfer from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua in July, having finished last season on loan to Juventus.

His form during pre-season was impressive, with the ex-France international netting seven goals in as many games.

If Anelka does leave Albion it will leave the Baggies one striker worse off - with just 10 days of the transfer window remaining - although they have brought in wide-man Scott Sinclair .

We could do with finding out sooner rather than later if he does plan to hang up his boots.

As harsh as that sounds, but it will leave us a man short up top.
