Punishment in the modern era
On Monday morning, Wolves defnder Roger Johnson rocked up to training "unfit to train properly", something we took to mean that he was still tired and emotional. The club said that they'd disciplined him and that was that. Johnson has also apologised.
But what did that disciplinary procedure actually contain? Johnson hasn't featured in either of Wolves' last two games - a draw at Newcastle and a derby shellacking at Fulham - after being dropped following another 5-goal gubbing at home to West Brom. Now the BBC are reporting that Johnson is in the squad for the game at Molineux against Blackburn.
The message we're getting is this: If you don't behave and turn up pissed for work, you run the risk of having to play against Blackburn. Sounds a bit excessive to us, but it could be worse - he could have to go up against Karl Henry at training.

10 other things Raúl turned down today
Today, Raúl declined Blackburn's chicken-propelled overtures and decided to remain with Schalke 04. What on earth possessed the man? Does he not know of the charms of that part of Lancashire?
We reckon the man's a fool, but here are a list of ten other things Raúl turned down today.
10. Poking his eyes in with a rusty nail.
9. Having his balls removed by a blind butcher with a grudge against Spain.
8. A chance to see an interpretive dance version of Women In Love starring Sam Allardyce and Luke Chadwick in the Oliver Reed and Alan Bates roles.
7. Being buried alive.
6. Having a live hand grenade shoved up his arse.
5. Sideways.
4. By someone with long fingernails.
3. And little regard for personal hygiene.
2. A move to Barcelona.
1. A move to Burnley.
