…someone much crueler that us would probably say, ‘do it you cocky waste of space.’

Kieron Dyer, Newcastle United's injury-ravaged midfielder, has spoken of feeling "suicidal" after his latest failure to recover from long-term injury and illness. Dyer has made only one brief club appearance since August, as a late substitute against West Bromwich Albion in October, and is now recuperating at the British Olympic Medical Centre in Harrow. Dyer said he hopes to be fully fit again "sooner rather than later".

‘But there can be no guarantees regarding the 26-year-old's condition. "We are playing it by ear," he said. "I had been suicidal after the West Brom game when I broke down again. I was at an all-time low. That is when the physios, the manager and my family stepped in and kept supporting me. They have been magnificent."’
