* Kiddo joined Sheffield United last night as coach, therefore disappointing Roy Keane who wanted him at Sunderland.
Neil Warnock: "I'm absolutely delighted to get Kiddo. I've been working on him for six weeks. He is just the sort of person we need.
"He's an extra body and brain, a very good and very experienced one. The demands upon me now we are in the Premiership have meant sometimes Stuart has been talking to 26 players on his own. That's too much for anyone. We needed to bring someone in and who could be better than someone who has seen it all and done it all? Brian has worked with the best, he has a great rapport with players and our lads, and the other staff, will enjoy working with him."
* Juventus managed a 1-1 draw at Rimini in their first game in Serie B.
* Neither Tevez nor Mascherano were included in West Ham's starting line-up yesterday. Tevez came on as a sub in the second half. Mascherano remianed on the bench.
* Ashley Cole says he's been 'betrayed by the club I love'.
"Probably some people think I'm a greedy pig - but it's nothing like that.
"It's never been about money. For me it's about respect.
"If you'd asked me three years ago, I'd have said I was at Arsenal for life. I gave everything to Arsenal when I was there and I was honest when I was there.
"But you need that to be reciprocated.
"You always want to be loved and wanted and feel respected. But I don't think I got respect or was held in high regard at Arsenal.
"It's nothing to do with money, greed or being disloyal. I can look at myself in the mirror and say that I'm not a bad person."
