Roy Keane
1347: My colleague Chrissy is under no illusions as to what the day's major talking point should be - the beard of the great Roy Keane. It was looking quite remarkable in his Thursday pre-match news conference - he's grown it a couple of inches and there are some alarming white flecks around the chin area. Will he shave for the game, or will he persevere? Beard fans, I want your views, and other great ones you can remember.

1344: "Aston Villa to continue their good form against Fulham. Villa are too strong for their opponents today and will rise above Man Utd. Down at the bottom, Wigan should comfortably beat West Brom, but as in any league, you can't take any game for granted. Who have Forest got today Stevo?"

Still Calderwood, more fool us.

1340: As a result, I know you will be desperate, as always, to get yourself in the mixer for Villa-Fulham, Boro-Newcastle, Stoke-Hull, Sunderland-Bolton and Wigan-West Brom. You can text me on 81111, and it'd be a pleasure to hear from you. Likewise, the 606 crew will be salivating at the prospect of your company. Whatever you do, don't leave them hanging.

1336: Frankly, I know it'd take more than the absence of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal to keep you lot away. It's Saturday, and Saturday means one thing: FOOTBALL. If people want to keep those teams for another day, that's their prerogative. But this is when, en masse, we dedicate our time to our sport. And that will never, ever change.

1330: What do you mean, the calm before the storm? There's nothing 'Subdued Saturday' about today's fixtures, I'll have you know. "But none of the 'Big Four' are playing," I hear you cry. Oh chill out. Aston Villa can go third and move to within six points of top spot if they win. Hull can leapfrog Arsenal. Blackburn could go bottom. There's a Tyne-Tees derby in there to boot. That enough of a hard sell for you?
