Heard the same mate. Rumour was he threw his toys out of the pram over something so Bruce told him to take the day off last Saturday?? Would expect him to at least make the bench against Fulham if fit so wait and see.
I was at the game early on Saturday and watched the players go in. Ryan Noble was one of them. So he was definitely there on Saturday. I thought he was injured.
Heard that as well lads on Friday though from a mag mate of mine (how he knows I'll never know) but, if SB gives him a run out and he flops it might bring him back down to earth mind you if he scores they'll have to widen the tunnel at half time to get his head down.
