Whoops
Big British Castle in erroneous statistic scandal

In their weekend match preview, BBC Sport claim Chelsea travel make the shortest distance of any Premier League side when they face West Ham this weekend. Seeing as the game is at Stamford Bridge, this is technically true, but the rest of the home sides can also look forward to a short trip.

Hammers ready to fight Tevez ruling
West Ham are planning to approach the Court of Arbitration for Sport to appeal the tribunal ruling in favour of Sheffield United, according to BBC Sport’s news ticker.
The FA yesterday released a statement in which they said: ”There is no further right of appeal under FA rules.”
However, the East London club were apparently dissatisfied to learn that they may be forced to pay £30 million based on the tribunal’s assumption, for which they took advice from journalist Henry Winter, that they stayed up solely because of Carlos Tevez’s contribution and are prepared to take the case to the top.

Rumour Vine
Someone has been very naughty indeedie

People who know people have it on pretty good authority that a certain oily face of BBC Sport has been banned from flying with a top British airline after being caught receiving oral sex from his generous girlfriend on a transatlantic flight.
As a result, he won’t be flying for six months with the field leaders. And yes, he was in business class.
A spokesman for the airline told The Spoiler, “I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.”
That’s all the confirmation we need! Naughty boy.
