Just Going To Butt In Here For A Second And Then It's Back To Hiatus

This was just too good to pass up...even though this blog is still on hiatus until I can find the time to devote hours a day to combing footcer news for silly stories again.

Nicky Butt walked away from Birmingham City's team hotel prior to their game against West Ham yesterday when he found out he had been dropped from the team's 16 players to bring to the match.

Team manager Steve Bruce - who apparently can't even control his own Butt, let alone be considered to be able to control England after the coaching vacancy - is trying to decide what to do about the player who constantly got his ass into trouble throughout his playing career.

The funniest aspect of the story is actually, however, the headline that Setanta Sports chose to use to talk about the story: Brum promise internal Butt probe!

And Nicky thought that Alex Ferguson's infamous "hair dryer" was bad. Apparently Steve Bruce plans to do much worse to him than Sir Alex ever could. :)

Setanta Sports has been waiting to say that for years, I'm sure!
