MILLIONS of workers are to get new rights to flexible hours so they can look after their grandchildren, nephews and nieces or even a pals kids. Currently only parents and carers are allowed to ask for different hours or to work from home. But Deputy PM Nick Clegg will reveal tomorrow that he wants to create a culture shift in the workplace by extending the right to everyone. In a major speech, he will declare plans to sweep away clapped out

welfare handouts and public services. She told the BBC no further transitional controls can be put in place. But she added: I will be looking at what attracts people to come over here so looking at issues about benefits, access to the health service and things like that.

TERROR suspect Abu Qatada will be told today whether ministers can kick him out of Britain. The ruling by a Special Immigration Appeals Commission judge is the latest stage in a decade-long battle to deport the extremist. Even if the judge does say he can be sent back to Jordan, Qatada is likely to appeal sparking fresh delays. The judgment comes as it emerged there are 20 compensation claims against Britain by terror suspects sparking fears they are cashing in, Taxpayers have already been hit by an estimated 20million payout to ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees in 2010 after intelligence evidence could not be heard.

BBC CRISIS: GORMLESS GEORGE GONE..IS CHAOTIC CHRIS NEXT? SAVILES PAL HELD
A FORMER BBC producer who outed Jimmy Savile as a pervert in an ITV documentary was arrested yesterday. Wilfred Death, 75, told film-makers a girl aged 12 at most had spent the night in Saviles hotel room in the 1960s. But when the documentary was broadcast, a well-known actress believed she was watching a man who molested her in a cinema when she was 14. The woman, now over 60, went to police and at 7am yesterday officers swooped on a sheltered housing complex in Cambridge to take Mr Death in for questioning. After being freed on bail five hours later, Mr Death, right, said: It is clearly a case of mistaken identity. He said he met the actress at a party when she was about 14 and he was a 25-year-old producer for BBC radios Teen Scene. But he insisted he had never been to the cinema with her, adding: The dates simply dont add up.

BELEAGUERED BBC boss Lord Patten was under mounting pressure to resign last night after he admitted the Newsnight abuse row has left the Corporation on the brink.
By GRAEME WILSON, Deputy Political Editor, and LEIGH HOLMWOOD, Deputy TV Editor
As MPs called for heads to roll, the defiant BBC Trust chairman dismissed calls for him to follow Director General George Entwistle and quit. But he admitted he WILL have to fall on his sword if he fails to clear up the shambles.
The peer warned it is over for the BBC if it cannot rebuild public trust shattered by the Jimmy Savile revelations and paedophile smear scandal.
Lord Patten who wrote to all BBC staff last night in a bid to boost morale also revealed that Newsnight could be scrapped. Former Tory Cabinet minister David Mellor urged the peer to consider his position. He said: I just think it needs someone more energetic and more focused to do that job. Mr Mellor criticised Lord Patten for saying he would STILL have appointed Entwistle as Director General. The ex-minister said Entwistle, who resigned on Saturday, had the leadership qualities of Winnie the Pooh. He added: If Chris Patten says, Id do the same again, I dont think he
Perv . . . Savile
should be given the opportunity to do that. Ex BBC presenter Miriam OReilly who won an age discrimination claim against the BBC said: The question mark is over Patten now. Entwistle was his man, he had full confidence in him, chose him and stood beside him. It will be interesting now to see if Patten falls on his sword. I think he should. Downing Street last night urged BBC bosses to get a grip. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond even warned that the future of the licence fee to fund the BBC is now in doubt. He said: If the public loses confidence in the BBC on a long-term basis then there would be questions. Lord Patten, 68, said he would lead the battle to rebuild the BBCs tarnished reputation. He added: If we dont restore the huge confidence and trust in the BBC then I am sure people will tell me to take my cart and clear off. The peer admitted he
knew BBC2s Newsnight was going to broadcast claims that a senior Tory abused boys from childrens homes in North Wales. But he insisted it would have been wrong for him to intervene to stop it. He blamed BBC managers and said the investigation was approved by every damned layer of the Corporation.
Apology
Ex-Tory treasurer Lord McAlpine was not named by Newsnight but he has said he will sue the BBC because it led to him being named on the internet. The BBC broadcast an apology to the innocent peer last Friday. More heads are expected to roll at the BBC. Those in the firing line include director of news Helen Boaden, her deputy Stephen Mitchell and Newsnight editor Peter Rippon. They were caught up in the controversy when it emerged Newsnight shelved a report into pervert Savile last year. Entwistle also
said before he quit that action may be taken against those involved in the Lord McAlpine row. Newsnight is currently overseen by deputy editor Liz Gibbons and Radio 5 Live controller Adrian Van Klaveren. One source said: This is just the beginning. There are still many unanswered questions. On a morning of chaos Lord Patten cancelled an interview with Sky News then reinstated it after a furious backlash on Twitter. Downing Street sources said PM David Cameron believes the BBC is one of the great institutions of this country. But they said it needs to sort out the problems that have engulfed it. One insider said: The key word for us is grip the BBC needs to show grip. Acting Director General Tim Davie will today set out plans for dealing with some of the issues arising from the Newsnight broadcast as a first step in restoring public confidence. BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie, asked by Entwistle to
investigate the fiasco, handed Davie his report yesterday. Insiders said the conclusions could decide whether Newsnight goes out tonight. Meanwhile Lord Patten said a new Director General will be in place within weeks. Ofcom chief executive Ed Richards is front runner for the 450,000-a-year post. Insiders said Richards is seen as a good candidate because he is outside the BBC, has run a large organisation and has a ruthless management style. BBC sources said the last moments of Entwistles 54-day tenure as Director General were tense before he announced his resignation at Londons Broadcasting House on Saturday night. One insider said: There were moments when he just didnt function and sat like a broken man. g.wilson@the-sun.co.uk
be another 877,000. Vivienne Pattison, director of campaign group Mediawatch-UK, said: Thats quite extraordinary. Its not bad after only 54 days in the job. And Tory MP Rob Wilson said: Licence fee payers will be angry and astounded. Many of them scrimp and save to pay their TV tax. What is the BBC thinking? Up to six senior BBC executives could follow Mr Entwistle in leaving the corporation when a number of internal reviews reveal their findings.

But he faces a major battle because top brass are dead set against the idea. A military source said: When one Brigadier heard the news Cameron wanted an armed sol-
ution his response was, You and whose Army? The source added: They dont want to get embroiled in another war when theyre already stretched beyond capacity. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond and Foreign Secretary William Hague are also thought to oppose military intervention. They say Syria is a totally different prospect to Libya because tyrant Bashar al-Assad has formidable armed forces as well as
Russian backing. But Mr Cameron fresh back from a tour of Syrian refugee camps is desperate to end the bloodshed.

Busted Beeb
BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten got one thing right yesterday. There must be a total overhaul of the humiliated Corporation. And that must begin with his own departure. Patten represents all that is worst about public sector complacency. He says the BBC is bogged down by employing more senior managers than the Chinese Communist Party. But the obvious solution getting rid of most of them does not occur to him. Nothing can ever come right at the BBC while Patten is there. He appointed useless buck-passer George Entwistle so shares responsibility for his disastrous reign. How can he be trusted not to choose another dimwit as his stooge? The Beeb has a lot of programming to be proud of. But lets also remember things were going wrong long before Entwistle was destroyed by the Newsnight scandals. It has ignored public anger at outrageous salaries and expenses. It trivialised the Queens Diamond Jubilee and makes no bones about its pro-Labour bias. As the broadcasting arm of the muck-raking Guardian newspaper it demands regulation for the Press. Yet who is regulating the BBC when it smears the innocent? Its army of pompous panjandrums, basking in pantomime titles and up to their ears in the trough, have taken us for a ride long enough. Their day of reckoning has arrived. And lets get rid of the idea that only a BBC insider can be Director General. Whats wrong with a tough outsider rather than another Corporation duffer? Given recent events, wed trust Pudsey the bear to do better. The one person never to trust is preening, preposterous Lord Patten.
SAYS
Press can get it wrong but we must be free to hold people to account
The News of the World made a big mistake by hacking phones. It paid with its life. The Guardian made a mistake by wrongly claiming the News of the World deleted Milly Dowlers phone messages, thus giving her family false hope. The price paid by the Guardian after repeating this damaging false assertion was a one-paragraph correction on Page 34. Gordon Brown made a mistake, if that is the right word, by claiming under parliamentary privilege that The Sun had blagged his sons medical records. The price was to raise doubts about his state of mind which persist to this day, especially within the Labour Party. Most people swiftly concluded he was not telling the full story except The Guardian, which used it all over Page One and later made another small apology. David Cameron made a mistake when he panicked over these blunders and ordered Lord Justice Levesons sweeping probe into newspaper culture, practices and ethics. The price is incalculable, encompassing the future of free speech, a free press and,
Silent salute
ACROSS Britain we fell silent to remember the glorious dead of the Forces. From Whitehall to country churchyards, tributes were paid. And even on Remembrance Sunday, another hero was added to the roll call of the fallen. A British soldier, shot by a rogue Afghan trooper in Helmand. It is tragic but poignant that he made the ultimate sacrifice on the day we honoured those who have done so before him. Past and present, we salute them all.
Tower shower
some might argue, the foundations of modern democracy. It risks spilling over into a new legal framework for newspapers already covered by draconian libel laws, injunctions and established criminal laws. The police made a mistake by failing to apply and pursue those criminal laws sufficiently to satisfy those who seek to curb bad behaviour by some journalists. The price is a 40millionplus probe by 250 Met and other police and retired officers to sift evidence which might or might not result in charges against 100 arrested journalists. The Sun made a mistake when it swallowed lies peddled about the Hillsborough tragedy by the most senior police officers at the scene of the crime. The BBC made a mistake by joining the witch-hunt against News International from its assumed position on the moral high ground. The price it paid was to be caught red-handed doing
worse things than phone hacking. The BBC, even more than its sanctimonious newspaper cousin The Guardian, has been caught with its hypocritical pants wrapped round its ankles. For all its posturing, the publicly-funded broadcaster proved long before Savile that it is as vulnerable to human error as any other organisation.
Trick
Outrageously, it fiddled film footage to portray the Queen as having lost her temper while taking part in a BBC documentary. It used the same trick on respected Tory MP Andrew Tyrie, forcing an on-air apology, and on clothing firm Primark, which was wrongly accused of slave labour. You might spot a trend here . . . Tories, capitalists, News International. Have no doubt, this is political. These are examples of journalism the BBC and The
ORF with his head. A daring thief breaks in to the Tower of London home of the Crown Jewels and steals the keys from under the noses of guards. Its all very embarrassing for Beefeaters who run the place. Clearly they need to beef up security.
WE all make mistakes (Part 2). The BBCs error in the McAlpine catastrophe was to rely on unchecked info from the so-called Bureau Of Investigative Journalism. Among the bureaus trustees is Sir David Bell, ex-chairman of the Media Standards Trust, from which sprang the Hacked Off campaign for strict new press laws. Sir David is a key adviser to the Leveson inquiry into press standards. Small world . . .
Guardian love to denounce from their pulpit as our selfappointed moral conscience when a tabloid is at fault. As I say, we ALL make mistakes. Both the BBC and The Guardian have paid sleuths to spy on citizens whose private lives and financial affairs were unjustifiably invaded. A Guardian hack confesses he hacked phones. Its revered columnist George Monbiot has just apologised for stoking the McAlpine paedophile witch-hunt. But for all its faults, the Guardian does a good job of holding its opponents to account. In politics, information is power. The journalists job is to find it and print it. Mistakes will be made, as the BBC has found to its cost. Hapless director general George Entwistle has paid the price. Pointless chairman Chris Patten should follow, accompanied by a few other suits. That should be enough. We dont want to kill the BBC. But neither should we kill our free press or limit its right to publish information those in power would conceal. If we are not careful, thats where we are heading.

He said: It is that single day in the year when we stand together and as a nation we remember the commitment of our men and women of the Armed Forces not only as soldiers today but of

DISTRICT3 lost the battle of the boybands last night after a singoff with rivals Union J. Louis Walsh refused to send either of his acts home but they got the boot when Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger saved Union J. Gary said it was District3s worst performance to date. But mentor Louis insisted they were a ready-made pop act. Afterwards band member Gregory West said: We hope that its not the last from us. Jahmene Douglas is now the bookies favourite ahead of Ella Henderson. Rylan Clarke is the outsider on 33/1.

By JEN BLACKBURN
But bosses have received a council letter warning that the former N-Dubz singer is breaking the 2006 Health Act, which bans smoking at work. Tulisa accused on TV of having fag ash breath by Gary Barlow now faces a telling-off. A source said:
The star often has sneaky cigs and parties in her dressing room at the shows Wembley studios.
Bosses arent happy that shes causing trouble. Meanwhile finalists are fuming at being paid 50 a week. Essex contestant Rylan Clark, 24, whinged: Its not even enough to cover one of my waxes. But a source said: The X Factor is a talent show and not considered employment. Bosses provide everything on top of the 50 including accommodation, food and travel. j.blackburn@the-sun.co.uk
N-Stubz . . . Tulisa
TULISA proves shes a genuine diva by donning a classy frock worn by Shirley Bassey. The 75-year-old Goldfinger singer stepped out in the glitzy number, right, for a Children In Need bash at the Royal Albert Hall in London three years ago. And urban star Tulisa, 24, pulled off the look on The X Factor this weekend. Looks like Shirley isnt the last of the Big Spenders after all . . .

Horrified Tory MP Patrick Mercer vowed to raise the gross miscarriage of justice with the Defence Secretary. Dannys dad Humphrey, 64 a retired farmer said in Linford, Hants: Its unbelievable. Danny has given his life to this country over 17 years. He only accepted the pistol from anti-terrorist forces in Iraq because it would have been rude to turn down the gift. His son had planned to frame the gun and present it to his regiment. But he suffered brain damage after collapsing on a 200-mile charity trek in Brazil and spending three days in a coma. Judge Advocate Alistair McGrigor, who presided over the court martial, accepted expert testimony it led to memory loss. But he insisted the sergeant could not have forgotten having the gun. Dannys commanding officer in Iraq, Lt Col Richard Williams, branded the sentence a total betrayal of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country.

TRAITOR spy George Blake was praised on his 90th birthday yesterday by Russia president Vladimir Putin. The father of four has lived in Moscow since escaping from jail in the UK in 1966, five years into a 42-year term for revealing MI6 secrets to the KGB. His espionage led to dozens, maybe hundreds, of anti-Soviet activists being executed. Putin said the double agent was strong and courageous and had made a big contribution to preserving peace.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS will be a happy bloke today after scoring a chart double with his album and single. Despite being snubbed by bosses at Radio 1, his song Candy is spending a second week at No1. And his album Take The Crown also went straight to the top of the chart. Far from the champagne celebrations of old though, the new dad, left, is more likely to be found changing
nappies and watching the footie highlights. Talking about fatherhood, he said: The mums doing the Mother Earth thing with the boobs and the breast-feeding so I change nappies and nurse Teddy watching Match Of The Day. Honestly, that was one of the most happiest moments of my life me, baby and Match Of The Day. He added: I do a good line in burping and I make sure to cradle her in my arms its very much Lion King stuff. Look out for a cover of Hakuna Matata on Robbies next album.

ONE DIRECTIONs ZAYN MALIK has admitted hes finding fame tough and not just because he cant pop out without being mobbed. The Bradford lad says hes also upset at not being able to hang out in a childrens playhouse. Asked what he missed about the old days, Zayn said: The fact that you could literally go anywhere, say anything and no one will judge you for it. Now, if I was seen going to do something stupid like go to a kids playhouse or something to be childish, people would look at me strangely. Hes seen the stick the boys got for posing with Andrex puppies then. LITTLE MIX arent worried theyll upset DE LA SOUL fans for covering Ring Ring Ring on their album. LEIGH-ANNE, from the band who have renamed the track How Ya Doin?, said: If anything, covering De La Soul will gain us older fans. Its for the older generation. We want to create an awareness about how good the Nineties were. Leigh-Anne was born in 1991 six months after the original was released.

SUPER-PRODUCER PAUL EPWORTH has had what can only be described as an absolute belter of a year.
He picked up a couple of Grammys, penned Bond theme Skyfall with ADELE, and became a dad.
But if that wasnt good enough, hes now had a call from SIR PAUL McCARTNEY to work on new music together. The BEATLES legend has started sessions for a solo record, likely to be released next year, which is great news in itself. The longer he is writing and touring the better, as far as Im concerned. I saw him play a three-hour set at the O2 last Christmas and it was one of the best gigs Ive ever seen. KINGS OF LEON producer ETHAN JOHNS and MARK RONSON have also been involved in early sessions. Now he has Epworth on board and if it works out the results should be very
interesting. The Londoner helped to shape PLAN Bs The Defamation Of Strickland Banks album as well as FLORENCE AND THE MACHINEs Lungs and Ceremonials. He also co-wrote songs such as Rolling In The Deep for Adele. And multi-instrumentalist Epworth has a great track record with bands too. He broke through working with bands BABYSHAMBLES, THE FUTUREHEADS and BLOC PARTY. That lead him to more mainstream acts and now hes arguably the most in-demand producer in the world. Johns is up there with him thanks to his work with the Followills plus RYAN ADAMS, TOM JONES and THE VACCINES, and is another wise choice for Macca. McCartneys last album Kisses On The Bottom, released earlier this year, was a collection of covers. So new material, for his first fully-fledged solo album since 2007, is good news. And getting Epworth and Johns involved will give the record a great combination of youth and experience. Exciting times.
EITHER KANYE WEST was glued to his seat throughout last nights EMAs or his missus is a calming influence on him. The rapper, who is dating KIM KARDASHIAN, managed not to storm the stage when TAYLOR SWIFT picked up three gongs at the ceremony in Frankfurt he ruined her big moment at the VMAs in 2009 by interrupting her acceptance speech with a big old rant. Taylor won Best Female, Best Live and Best Look and sang her latest single, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, despite suffering with a bad throat caused by flu. Brit lads ONE DIRECTION bagged a brace Best New and Biggest Fans but sadly for fans they failed to make the show. And JUSTIN BIEBER managed a hat trick, winning Best World Stage, Best Pop and Best Male. But it was the pint-sized pop stars record label colleague PSY who was the main attraction. The South Korean scooped the Best Video award for Gangnam Style. He performed the track live, complete with a cameo from Germanys favourite celebrity, DAVID HASSELHOFF. And show host HEIDI KLUM made good on her promise to do the dance with him. Earlier, the supermodel had opened proceedings in a weird way by being flushed down a toilet and ending up on stage. MUSE and THE KILLERS brought guitars to the event, with MATT BELLAMY and Co performing Madness and The Killers doing Runaways. And ALICIA KEYS put in an incredible performance with a medley of her hits. But she really was tempting fate by singing Girl On Fire beneath a gigantic burning hoop.
THIS get-up is a lot more modest than RIHANNAs usual outfits. The Bajan star wore the black coat, ridiculous glasses and white shoes as she went wandering around New York over the weekend. With boots like that Rihanna wont need to swap her footwear next time she goes bowling.
RITA ORA was enjoying the chance to pull off a big-budget performance at the ceremony. She said: Its awesome. They let us do what we wanted. That included standing under a shower of sparks with just an umbrella for protection. The Londoner also caught up with her heroes NO DOUBT. She said: I saw them in the hotel lobby. They are my idols and I let them know that. I met GWEN STEFANI at the X Factor last week so now she recognises me, which is crazy.
KIM KARDASHIAN was at the EMAs after spending the past few days in Blighty. And the reality star doesnt think much of our grub. She said: I dont know if Im the biggest fan. I prefer fashion to food over here. Just as well ONE DIRECTION didnt turn up to collect their gongs. Especially after she was told HARRY STYLES has a crush on her. She said: Gosh maybe Ill call him. Harry might want to brush up on some American recipes before then.

A DOLL designed to look like a desperately ill premature baby wired up to breathing tubes has been slammed by charities. Manufacturers claim the lifelike creations which cost up to 800 each online with intensive care packs priced at up to 35 extra help parents of sick newborns cope. But charities blasted the growing trend, saying exporters of the American kits even profit from families who want to remember their DEAD babies. Sue Williams, of premature baby charity Adapt, said: Its sick. The dolls arent comforting. They only extend the grieving process. A mother who lost one of her newborn twins posted on Netmums: Im disgusted. What kind of sick and twisted individual does this?
SHOPPING for clothes has reduced one in five women to tears, a survey revealed yesterday. Reasons for crying are fearing they look overweight, because they cant find the right outfit or from sheer exhaustion. Others moan of rude shop assistants and rows with impatient partners.

TV star Coleen Nolan ambassador for online clothes retailer Marisota who conducted the poll said: No female should ever be reduced to tears by shopping for clothes. It should be pleasurable.

PAW-TRAIT
GEORGE MICHAELS childhood pal Andros Georgiou was one of the first to be told he was gay. Later he watched as George, who he calls Yog, fell for Brazilian Anselmo Feleppa, with him right. In the third day of our serialisation of Rock: The Luckiest Man In Pop, adapted by BEN JACKSON, Andros, 50, tells of the affair. He also describes the day he told George his beloved Anselmo was dead.
When he walked in, he looked real nervous. It wasnt until after several bottles of wine and we were both drunk that he just looked me right in the eye and said: Andros, I have to tell you something. I am gay. I was stunned. Why hadnt he told me before? I ordered a double vodka and sat there for two hours while he poured his heart out. He said telling me was harder than it would be telling his parents (which he didnt do for another six years). He admitted keeping the truth from me made it easier for him to keep it from everybody else, especially the fans. He had tears in his eyes. I asked about children, didnt he want any? Yog said he had thought about it and it was a shame but he was a gay man and gay men didnt have children.
ONE day in 1988 when he was filming a video, George pulled me aside and told me very casually to meet him at our favourite Chinese restaurant.

Crying
A few years later, in 1991, Yog went to Rio on tour, me with him. Rio changed Yogs life forever. It was there he met a truly wonderful person, Anselmo Feleppa. From the start, we just all took to him. He just had IT. After the tour, Yog moved back to LA and Anselmo went with him. Then, on one trip back to England, Yog looked at me, breaking down, crying hysterically. I jumped up and hugged him. He told me: Anselmo has got Aids. He didnt know what to do. How could the love of his life just die? I just looked at him and said, Are you OK? Have you got Aids? I felt sick as I said it. No, was his answer. Thank God. Yog had kept this secret for nearly six months at Anselmos insistence. The next few months were difficult, not being able to discuss any of this with Anselmo himself. I was so worried about Yog the entire time. The thought of him contracting Aids never left my mind. In 1993, Anselmo went on a trip back to Rio to see his family. I was with Yog in LA. A couple of days later, his friend Lucia called. Anselmo had been admitted to hospital and it wasnt good. Yog wanted to go to him immediately but
we decided to wait a few days. Then the phone went and it was Anselmo. Yog took the call in his room. When he came out, he looked upset. Anselmo was far from OK but we still thought it would pass and hed be well enough to come home to LA. A few days later, when Lucia called again. I was the one who picked up the phone at Yogs place and all I could hear was crying. I knew right then, she didnt have to tell me Anselmo had died. The actual cause of death was a brain haemorrhage. YOG! I yelled. He came running. He got halfway across the lounge when he saw my face.
He collapsed. The day after Anselmo passed, my wife Jackie told me she was pregnant. I couldnt believe the timing, I took this as a sign as one life leaves, another one arrives. Nine months later Harrison Anselmo Georgiou was born, named in honour of one of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, and, of course, Yog was to be his godfather. Anselmo was buried within 24 hours of his death. George and I and others flew out. Anselmos family people lived up in the mountains and still they had heard of George Michael and, now, this world superstar was sitting in their lounge, crying over their son. b.jackson@the-sun.co.uk l Rock: The Luckiest Man In Pop An Autobiography by Andros Georgiou is available on Amazon (or androsgeorgiou.com)

A MAN wanted in connection with the suspected murder of a teenage girl was arrested yesterday after handing himself in to cops. Jack Wall, 22, walked into a police station when detectives appealed for him to contact them. Police are hunting for Amelia Arnold, 19, who lived with Wall in Stevenage, Herts. She was last seen on Wednesday. They issued a statement after Walls arrest on suspicion of murder saying the search was now concentrated on the home the couple shared. Cops are also quizzing a man of 41 arrested yesterday and confirmed that significant evidence had been found in Welwyn Garden City. Det Chief Insp Tim Redfearn said: Amelias family are extremely distraught and desperate for information. We appeal to anyone with information to contact us.

Here are some of the best from Charlie Crokers book Terms Of Employment: POLICE: Olympic torch a lazy officer who stays in the station (the torch never goes out). Also known as a Gurkha (takes no prisoners); Lids uniformed officers. CITY TRADERS: Pump and dump talk up a shares price so you can sell it at a quick profit. The opposite is bash and dash. CABBIES: Lady Godiva a fiver; Commodore 15 (because its Three Times A Lady). BOOKIES: Bismarck a favourite thats secretly expected to lose (itll get sunk). AUCTIONEERS: Bid off the wall take a fictitious bid from an imaginary person purely to push up the price. COMPUTER ENGINEERS: PICNIC Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. CAR SALESMEN: Wind and skin air conditioning and leather upholstery. If a car lacks the first its a Kojak no air. HOSPITAL STAFF: Departure lounge the geriatric ward. If its announced a patients moved to Rose Cottage, it means theyve died. LAWYERS: White wig newly-qualified barrister. AD EXECS: Blue boat a deliberately useless component of an advert, inserted so a picky client can demand its removal. The term comes from Scotch whisky ads, where an ugly blue boat would be put in the middle of a loch. OFFICE MANAGERS: Topless meeting one where laptops and mobile phones are banned to make sure everyone concentrates. VOICEOVER ARTISTS: Clarkson the pause before the final words, in the style of the Top Gear presenter and Sun columnist. Eg: The best shampoo . . . your hair could wish for. CHEFS: Give the food some radar love in the bat cave cook it in a microwave.

FANGTASTIC. . . as Edward
ROBERT PATTINSONs reallife romance with his Twilight co-star turned very chilly recently yet on screen things between them are scorching.
The British actor ditched longterm girlfriend Kristen Stewart after she was snapped kissing another man.
By
GRANT ROLLINGS
The pair are said to be back together after Robert, who temporarily moved out of their shared LA home, forgave Kristen. Even so relations seem to be cooler after the events of the past few months, unlike the passion the couple generate as Twilight lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. In Breaking Dawn Part 2 the last film of a series which has taken more than 1.5billion at the box office they steam up the screen with the greatest vampire sex ever. Robert promises the newlyweds loving is pretty full-on . . . for a film deemed suitable for 12-year-olds. The 26-year-old heartthrob says: The sex is a lot wilder and more intense but I think it works better. We wanted to do something different, we had to figure ways to make it sexy even though its supposed to
be 12A. The idea was for us to have the greatest vampire sex ever. That proved slightly awkward at times especially as acting out the bedroom thrills got him, Kristen and the rest of the crew giggling. Robert admits: Its awkward doing close-ups in front of a big crew with the camera operator in your face and youre supposed to show ultimate ecstasy. Kristen and I would start to laugh and the cameraman was laughing, too.
Quizzed
There hasnt been too much laughter for the pair off screen recently. Kristen, 22, often looked glum after the revelations about her fling with Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Meanwhile, Robert has deftly changed the subject when quizzed about their relationship. But he knows such questions are all part and parcel of life in the spotlight. He says: If youre a performer, and thats essentially what an actor is, you are performing for an audience. So you cant whine and moan
about the fact that youve accomplished what you set out to do, which is to attract a following for your work. Breaking Dawn Part 2 opens here on Friday and after attending various premieres the sun will finally set on Roberts Twilight career. Recalling the last day of shooting, he says: It was hilarious considering we spent the entire series filming in the most miserable conditions in Canada. Then we ended up on a beach in the Caribbean filming for two days. It was fun. It was also a smaller crew and it was just me and Kristen. We literally did the last shot as the sun was coming up in St Thomas in the Virgin Islands and everyone stayed on the set to take in the sunrise. It was a wonderful way to end things. After making five Twilight films in as many years R-Patz is glad to be moving on. He says: Im looking forward to working with new directors and playing many different kinds of characters. Playing Edward
was frustrating for me because it was difficult to give him as much vulnerability as I would have liked because he cant die and he cant suffer the way humans do. What advice does he wish he had been given five years ago? Referring to all those barechested scenes, he replies: Start drinking vodka instead of beer and try to get a sixpack as early as possible. The films sparked a fanatical following, with devotees having their own nickname, Twihards. Robert says: Its crazy how intense people are. I dont know how long it will last. It would be insane if theres the same tenacity in 15 years. When the first Twilight film was released in 2008, Londoner Robert, who now lives
in California, attracted far more attention in the United States. Now he says the interest is just as intense in Britain but the comments can be crueller. He says: I used to be able to be in England and be fine. No one had any idea who I was. It came later in England. Now, its relatively similar. But I get a lot more abuse in England. Thats just a general English attitude. I did the same thing to famous people. Its just your instinct. Between making the Twilight blockbusters, Robert has also starred in other, smaller movies, including Cosmopolis, Remember Me and Water For Elephants.
Freedom
He says: Im not that interested in making big movies. I would rather work on smaller, independent films where you have more freedom to create unique kinds of characters and you dont have to please a mass audience. When youre part of a big movie franchise, theres a ton of pressure on you thats really nothing to do with the job at all. So is he happy the Twilight experience has come to an end? He says: In some ways. After the first one, as soon as people started referring to it as a franchise a
franchise is a Burger King or a Subway its not a movie. Its generally the people who are making money off of it that refer to it as a franchise. As an actor, its scary. Robert himself has done rather well out of the Twilight franchise. He was reportedly paid 8million for each of the final two films, plus he will get a 7.5 per cent share of the profits from their box office takings. Not that he intends blowing his earnings on fast living. Robert says: Fortunately, I dont really have any vices and I dont have any extravagant fantasies about buying a yacht or something like that. And Im such a bad driver I cant even contemplate buying a great sports car. Despite all the hype, hysteria and attention that has followed them around for five years, Robert insists that he, Kristen and their other main co-star Taylor Lautner have managed to remain level-headed. He says: Its strange to have gone through the same experience with Taylor and Kristen as well. Its massive and its good to see people retain their sanity as much as possible. Ive seen a lot of other people have minor amounts of fame and just lose their minds completely, like after a casting announcement, let alone having done a movie. Its amazing to see that people manage to maintain their sanity. grant.rollings@the-sun.co.uk

BEST SOAP: Coronation Street (ITV1, 7.30pm and 8.30pm). We all love a good soap scrap and tonight Corrie delivers a corker as Jason wallops Marcus after discovering how hes been sleeping with Maria. The secret lovers are thrown into a state of panic when Sean catches them kissing. Wrongly presuming that hes raced off to drop the bombshell, they run over to the Rovers and accidentally out themselves, prompting that painful punch. BEST JUNGLE: Im A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here! (ITV1, 9pm). One day in to the new series presented by Ant & Dec, pictured, and the reality of what the celebs have let themselves in for is starting to set in. Ex-Corrie star Helen Flanagan was aghast at how, like, far away Australia is . . . so how will she cope as she realises theres no room service? And will MP Mad Nad give Pussycat Doll Ashley a run for her money in the shower bikini stakes? Its enough to put us off our witchetty grubs! BEST DOCU: Ross Kemp: The Invisible Wounded (Sky One, 9pm). To mark Remembrance weekend, Ross Kemp looks at the battles many ex-service personnel face in the aftermath of war. There are four million veterans in the UK, with one in four suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Ross finds out what is being done for these heroes to prevent further suffering. BEST COMEDY: Full English (Channel 4, 10.50pm). This rude cartoon may be about a family but its certainly not one to watch with the kids! A British version of US animation Family Guy, it centres on the Johnsons, a normal family. In this first episode, teen Eve auditions for Britains Got Talent, which means we see a brutal parody of the show, complete with a ferocious, if outdated, Simon Cowell.

ALICIA SILVERSTONE became famous at 18 after playing a mega-rich, fashion-obsessed High School girl in hit movie Clueless. She has since combined her high-profile Hollywood career with a best-selling book on her vegetarian lifestyle, called The Kind Diet, and a website, thekindlife.com. Alicia who lives in Los Angeles with rock musician husband Christopher Jarecki and their 17-month-old son, Bear Blu stars in a new vampire movie Vamps. She is now 36 and here she tells GARTH PEARCE what she wishes shed known when she was 18.
WISH I had known 7 Iwith fame at 18. how to deal public image was in England, strangely enough. I was with my mom and the paparazzi grabbed a photo of us together. We were in a public place and I just laughed and said: Oh, let them take it. We posed. I thought: It is my mom and me it is not any more interesting and complicated than that. My English roots do come out when I am in London (both her parents, Didi and Monty, were born in the UK) and I love the fact that I can ride on a bus and be
I found it overwhelming. I remember running through an airport, being chased by photographers. Why did I run? I was just working all the time and ready to explode. There is a big lesson for anyone that young try to lead a calm, balanced, happy life. Dont be in too much of a hurry! There was the attitude of: Take this

TAXITASTIC This free app makes it easy to hail safe private-hire cabs in unfamiliar areas. It has access to more than 10,000 firms nationwide. See taxitastic.co.uk. STRESSED Women between 25 and 34 are the most stressed. Brits worry an average of 208 times a year, with women fretting over bills and juggling time, and men about long hours and debt.

chance, because you never know when its going to be over. That, when I look back, is a ridiculous attitude. I wish I had known enough to listen to my gut instinct and not my brain. It is hard to be famous when you are young, particularly if you did not have any plans. I wanted to become unfamous as fast as possible. But I dont want to come across as a victim. Fame brings money and I was able to buy a car at 18 a Ford Bronco and buy a house a year later, which was a huge advantage. I did six movies back-to-back, without a break which was a stupid thing to do. I also wish Id had the strength to say how little I knew about life. Clueless gave the impression I knew about fashion and sex. It was ridiculous, because I didnt. There was a low point when I was accused of being fat, after the film Batman & Robin (released in 1997). I played Batgirl in the film and someone actually shouted fat girl at me and tried to take photographs. There are so many girls suffering from bulimia because of all this nonsense about weight and body issues. I now realise that any human being who could comment so cruelly on the appearance of another has no life. The first time I learnt to live with the surrounded by a diverse culture. In Los Angeles, I drive everywhere like everyone else and you dont mix with people. In London, I can walk on Hampstead Heath and feel relaxed. So when I hear of grown-up people complaining about fame and being in the public eye, I think: It is your choice. I live under a rock, a little bit, on purpose. People tell me what is going on in our little pop culture Hollywood thing, but I am not exclusively interested. I did listen to my gut instinct when I fell in love. It would have been so simple to take the easy route, so tempting in Hollywood, and become a party person. I met Chris outside a little arthouse theatre in Beverly Hills. I used to go there most nights and brought a group of friends. This particular night there was the British 1960s film Blow-Up showing and we met, by chance, between films. I had been burnt by too many jerks horrible creatures who did too much damage to my soul. I chose them, for some reason, but after I met Chris I never made that mistake again. Early fame? It is very simple. I have learnt that if you are a good person, you will get better. If you are a bad person, you will become worse. I definitely grew up fast and learnt a lot. You only gain experience and wisdom from living it.

JOGGING fan Nell McAndrew has run into a storm of criticism by pounding the pavement while she is pregnant. The model, 39, said: When I tell people Im still exercising, they react as if Ive told them Ive been smoking or drinking alcohol while pregnant. But what Im doing is actually good for me and my baby. The former Im A Celeb star has cut her usual 90 miles a week to six miles a day with the birth of her baby due in March. Nell and husband Paul Hardcastle already have a son Devon, six. It is no surprise that many women are baffled about how much exercise they can do for their own health without harming their unborn child. There is a lot of conflicting advice out there. Here The Suns fitness expert NICKI WATERMAN and nutritionist AMANDA URSELL give their expert advice on the myths and facts surrounding fitness and diet while pregnant.

1ST TRIMESTER: WEEKS 0 - 12 Suggested regime: Twenty minutes walking a day, or half an hour three times a week. Or swimming for 20 minutes, two or three times a week. 2ND TRIMESTER: WEEKS 13 - 28 Suggested regime: Continue as before or try a weekly pregnancy Pilates class with emphasis on strengthening your upper back, thigh and arm muscles. Or a weekly pregnancy yoga class. Good for concentrating on breathing, moving comfortably and meeting other pregnant women. 3RD TRIMESTER: WEEKS 29 - delivery Suggested regime: Gentle exercise three times a week such as walking for 30 minutes or swimming twice a week. Plus one weekly pregnancy Pilates, yoga or aquacise class. Top tip: Be careful not to twist your pelvis or overstretch. Your body is now flooded with a hormone called relaxin, which makes joints more mobile, making it easy to pull muscles.

Dear Deidre
point his firm will do an audit and find out. If he owns up and negotiates with the firm to start paying the money back, theres a chance they wont press charges if hes honest now. If he wont listen to you, then your best course may be to turn whistle-blower. But bringing a lover into your girls lives would just add to the misery, so tell him you need space to sort out your life. Q Should you whistle-blow on a partner if theyre doing wrong? Tell me on my Facebook page today.
DONT BE JEALOUS, I FEEL SICK HALF THE TIME. ANYWAY, ITS LATE, LETS CATCH UP IN THE WEEK
HOW can I help my friend and her children escape from her abusive husband? Were in our early thirties. Her thuggish partner is controlling and I suspect hes violent. I think shes ashamed to admit it. All she says is: You dont know the half of it. But hes cut her off from me. Im not allowed to visit and she cant get out to meet me because he wont let her leave the house. Shes desperate but cant just run away blindly, without some sort of a plan. n DEIDRE SAYS: Leaving takes a great deal of strength and courage but her situation is likely to get worse if she doesnt do it. Make sure she realises this is damaging her children even if he isnt violent to them. The National Domestic Violence Helpline can help her work out a plan (0808 2000 247, (nationaldomesticviolencehelpline.org.uk).

MY girlfriends lost her sex drive. Is it something Ive done? Or is she just bored with sex? Im 23 and she is 21. Weve been together for two years.

Dear Deidre
MY girlfriend feels it doesnt matter that she had sex with another guy because were only dating. Im 21 and she is 19. Weve been on many amazing dates including spending the weekend at my flat. We had sex and both said we really liked each other. She said she wasnt like other girls and, that even though we were only dating, she didnt want either of us to see or sleep with other people. But one night she said she was going round her mates house. I heard nothing from her for six hours until she rang to say she was staying there. I asked if something would happen between them and she said it was
Dear Deidre
all she seems to do is read and watch TV. How can I get things back to how they were? n DEIDRE SAYS: She may be depressed being out of work is no picnic. Talk to her to find out why shes off sex. Tell her you love her and that she can recover her interest. A good start is kissing and cuddling each other, with no pressure to have sex at first. An advice line today explains self-help therapy to revive your love life.

possible because they were sharing a bed. She then dropped a bombshell by saying we were nothing, only dating. I went mad and told her to leave. The next day she admitted she slept with the other bloke and felt such a b****. She said its made her realise how much she likes me. She says it wont happen again. So should I give her another chance? n DEIDRE SAYS: Just dating or not, she moved the goalposts when she had sex with this other guy because shed said she wanted to be with you exclusively. But she may have now realised you are the guy for her. If she wants you two to stay together, spell out that its over if she ever cheats on you again.

But I cant wait to see exCorrie star Helen Flanagan, pictured, Charlie Brooks and Ashley Roberts show us what tough cookies they are, and whether posh Hugo Taylor can hack it in the jungle. Most important of all, of course, I just love watching Ant and Dec.

If the past is anything to go by, every time we remove one dictator, we create another dozen. They then use these arms to kill more of their own people as well as any of ours trying to help. Best is to leave well alone. You cant help some countries. It costs a shed load of money and destroys lives.

GRAND NATIONAL fourth Cappa Bleu starts back on the road to Aintree in the graduation chase (2.25) at Carlisle. Although a 10-year-old, the 2009 Foxhunter Chase winner has had just seven outings over fences. But he ran a great race in the National and trainer Evan Williams is already looking forward to a return trip. He said: Its always difficult first time back after the National so we wanted to find him a nice little race so he can go and enjoy himself. This looks a good place to start and if he can run a nice race Ill be very happy. He ran very well in the National and it is at the forefront of my mind to go back. If were lucky enough to get through the winter then well look forward to Aintree. The National is the only race Im thinking of with him.

break-even regulation based on the income that clubs receive from the TV money pot. Finally, there are calls to ban the kind of assignment deal by which clubs borrow money by agreeing to hand over future central payments. Everton have already signed over TV cash from NEXT season and they are not alone. Only Fulham are opposed to any kind of Premier League FFP and they will get their way, for a while at least, if none of the proposals get the required support.

Sharples said: I didnt go out there to take the shirt away from a guy whos played particularly well for England the past couple of years. But I didnt see myself as keeping his seat warm either. I wanted to throw my hat in the ring, show what I can do,
this chance because Chris was suspended for one Test, now its in the hands of Stuart Lancaster. Im not resigned to losing my place although I wonder if one good performance is enough to keep out a guy of Ashs quality. But I want Stuart and the coaches to see me as a go-to wing from now on. Head coach Lancaster said: Charlies performance will have fuelled Chris hunger to get back in the side. He knows now he has very strong competition. Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi also scored twice, Tom Johnson and Ugo Monye added one each and referee Glen Jackson awarded England a penalty try.
OLYMPIC television bosses stand accused of treating the London Paralympics as a second-class event. After the Games, Olympic Broadcasting Services removed from the Aquatics Centre the special cameras, which provided the underwater shots of able-bodied swimmers. Channel 4 apparently offered to pay for the floor and wall devices to be retained for the Paralympics but to no avail. A C4 source said: The achievements of Ellie Simmonds (above) are every bit as incredible as those of Michael Phelps, so why should the Olympics only benefit from the underwater cameras? Sources have also revealed coverage of the Paralympic equestrian and rowing events was also not as extensive.

GETHIN JENKINS admits Wales must go back to the drawing board after being pounded by the Pumas.
They failed to score a try in Cardiff for the first time in three years, slumping to a fourth straight loss. Prop Jenkins said: We didnt play in the right areas. It was a really depressing changing room and now its back to the drawing board. The Welsh lost lock Alun Wyn Jones and centre Jamie Roberts to injuries. The games only tries came from Juan Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho to leave the Pumas celebrating at the finish (left).

Cooks not ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS: DAY 7 worried by spin doctor
From JOHN ETHERIDGE in Ahmedabad
PG
Captain Cook and his team-mates were shielded from top-class twirly men in their three warm-up matches and that helped them plunder runs by the bucketload. Five England batsmen scored centuries in those matches and every member of the Test top seven reached at least one 50. (Final day of 4) Haryana drew with England It means Cook and ENGLAND First Innings - 521 Co will face Indias (Pietersen 110, Cook 97, Compton 74, Patel spinners in the First 67, Bell 62, Mishra 4-67, Yadav 4-110).

SCOREBOARD
PG
49
Figures
Only the four Tests will tell us whether their plan has worked. But all of us have scored runs and thats all we can do. I think everyone in our batting unit is feeling confident ahead of that First Test. Jonathan Trott scored a second innings century yesterday and became the fifth man to pass three figures after Cook, Samit Patel, Jonny Bairstow and Kevin Pietersen. Amit Mishra, a wristspinner with 14 Test caps and Haryanas only top-class bowler, did not send down a single over in Englands second innings as their final warm-up match finished in a draw. In the second innings of the three practice matches combined, when the slow men should be in operation on wearing pitches, England faced only 13.2 overs of spin less than 11 per cent of the total overs bowled. Cook added: Mishra

McNamara said: The This group is very players are very close united. Its a pleasure now, theyre friends to coach them. They and thats the culture are very keen to do were trying to build. well for England. Im not saying what Hall, 24, added: Its we are doing will all building towards guarantee success in next year I hope.
RYAN HALL helped England to the Autumn Internationals trophy at the end of the 2012 season but the hard work really starts now.
Haul
almost went missing in this game. He didnt bowl many overs so clearly there was a message of some kind. We cant control how the opposition play. Steven Finn (thigh strain) bowled off his full run in the nets for the second time yesterday while Stuart Broad (bruised heel) also had a crack. Finn remains the more likely to play in the Test and Cook acknowledges that thrusting them both into such a vital match would be a gamble. He said: Its great to see Stuart and Finny bowling again. The next few days are vital for them and we must go into the Test with a fully-fit attack.
The British No 1 was aiming to make it a terrific treble in 2012 after brilliantly bagging Olympic and US Open glory.
STEVE BRENNER
have finished the year by winning this tournament. But for me its been the best year of my career by miles. I will look back on everything positively it would be wrong not to. Murray was understandably gutted last night especially as he began in style. But Fed, who crushed Muzzas Wimbledon dream in the summer, is an indoor phenomenon and gained sweet, sweet revenge for that Olympic final defeat in August.
Crowned
Breesy does it
From SIMON VENESS
DREW BREES halted the only unbeaten team left in the NFL and breathed new life into New Orleans Super Bowl hopes. The Saints quarterback (right) fired three touchdown passes two in the final quarter to tight-end Jimmy Graham as Atlanta Falcons were beaten 31-27. NEW YORK GIANTS lost 31-13 at Cincinnati thanks to a four-touchdown display from Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton.
On nights like this, the Swiss really is a racket-holding magician. Yet Murray will look back at a lacklustre display in the second set which helped Fed book the chance to be crowned king of world tennis for a whopping SEVENTH time. Murrays aggression and intent were there from the start as Federer was broken in his first service game. But Federer is not a 17-time Grand Slam champion for nothing. And when the world No 2 broke to get back to 4-4, it really was game on. It went to a tiebreak,
which Federer nicked and he never looked back. A nightmare service game at 1-1 pretty much sealed Murrays fate as Fed, 31, took the second set in just 32 minutes. Murrays face was a picture of abject disappointment and understandably so. After the summer he has just had, the bar has been raised higher than ever before. Federer said: It was the third time for us this year in London so that makes it extra special. I think the crowd was electric. I have been around the block a few times and that was something. You cant tire of nights like this. That is why I keep practising in front of no people nights like this inspire you to keep working hard. World No 1 Djokovic reached todays final by fighting back from a set down to defeat Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina 4-6 6-3 6-2. Djokovic said: This year has been a great success. But knowing its the last match of the season, Im really going to try to give my best physically and mentally to eventually try to get the trophy. s.brenner@the-sun.co.uk
And Faldo, Europes most successful post-war golfer with six Major wins, believes the American (right) has virtually no chance of getting the four he needs to match Nicklaus haul. He said Those revelations have done more damage than people would give them credit for. So I would lean towards no, he wont catch Jack. People thought he would deal with it and then get back on the golf course. But its wrecked that wonderful tranquillity you get of going to a golf course,
McIlroy, 23, was already guaranteed top spot in America but a third place in Singapore yesterday means he now cannot be caught by his European Tour rivals. Faldo added: I have been very impressed with Rory. He has to do all the right things but he has 20-odd years left in the game. There has only been Jack, Seve and Tiger who have won two Majors before they were 25, and now theres Rory. It puts him in a special category. d.facey@ the-sun. co.uk

TALENTED teen ace Matteo Manassero said he was looking forward to a lie-in after winning the Singapore Open. The Italian (left) had to get up at 5.30am for three days in a row to complete the storm-hit tournament. And the 19-year-old had just 27 minutes between his third and fourth rounds yesterday. But Manassero, who had finished tied with South African Louis Oosthuizen on 13-under, had enough left in the tank to seal a play-off victory after three

extra holes. World No 1 Rory McIlroy slotted a final-hole eagle to take third. Manassero said: It ended up really nice but for three days in a row I had a 5.30am alarm clock. Thats really tiring. On the 13th hole I was not feeling great, I was really flat, no more energy left but the adrenalin kept me going. I had to switch off between shots, I was walking slowly. Everybody had to do that so the pace of play was quite slow, I guess.

From Back Page errors. One error cost us and we got to take our chances. Team played as planned. Must win next. Saints are next up at Loftus Road on Saturday boasting one point more than Rangers. Sparky admitted: Its an important game. Everyone understands the significance of it now. Its still early in the season but the longer this run goes on, it becomes more difficult for us to have the season that we hoped to have. Hughes says he is unaffected by the hysteria surrounding his position. He insisted Fernandes (above) is encouraged by the teams recent showings. Hughes said: The chairman has been to many games. He was here today and at Arsenal. He saw positive things in our play and that encouraged him it encourages us. But the disappointment is that we are not getting the reward that he is looking for and that we are all looking for. Our aim is to have a really progressive season.

Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez is the most frightening array of attacking talent Alex Ferguson has ever had. And, yes, I include the fantastic four from 1999 of Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. On Friday Ferguson targeted the 100-goal barrier in the league for his team and already they have 29 from 11 games. Add to that nine in four Champions League games and five in two Capital One Cup games and it makes an incredible 43 goals in 17 games this season. It is not just about relying on one man in Van Persie they have had 13 different scorers this season. Van Persie is the main man and his link-up play with Rooney makes it look like they have been together for years. More goals will
They may leak goals at the other end but, goodness, this team has got some firepower.
DAVID MOYES has admitted he faces an uphill struggle to keep Marouane Fellaini. A host of big clubs have the Everton man on their must see list. Boss Moyes, who values Fellaini at 30million, said: If we have top players and cannot give them trophies or European football, I may have to accept what theyre thinking.
come for Rooney undoubtedly as he is world class. Welbeck needs to improve his goals-per-chances ratio but his workrate opens up spaces. Then we have Hernandez, the hat-trick hero from Villa Park on Saturday. And yes it was a hat-trick for me, no matter what the dubious goals panel or whoever say about his second. The little Mexican went quiet last season after a fantastic first campaign but he is alive again.
Darting
Ferguson talks a lot about his movement and it is fantastic. The way he set off for that Paul Scholes throughball for his first goal is an example of that. He is always darting around the penalty area to get an opening. I can see Van Persie, Rooney and Hernandez all hitting 20 goals plus this season. What they all have, as do the whole Manchester United team, is that unwavering belief that they are going to score, they are going to win. Just witness
this week. In Braga they were 1-0 down and playing poorly going into the last 10 minutes. They won 3-1. It was the same in the home game against the Portuguese side when they were 2-0 down and won 3-2. Then Saturday at Villa Park. A tenacious Villa side played extremely well and deserved a 2-0 lead. Again United came back and won, this time 3-2. This is no fluke. It is not as if it is just this Manchester United team either. Every team Ferguson has produced does this. Saturday was the seventh time they have come back from two goals down or
more to win in the Premier League era a record. This season alone they have come from behind to win eight times in all competitions. While a lot of teams subconsciously wind down in the final minutes of a game, Fergusons play with a vigour, energy, belief and determination that overwhelms opponents.
Belief
Compare their fighting mentality to Arsenal right now who have twice given away two-goal leads this last week to end up drawing. It is their lack of belief that undoes them and, right
now, they are a team low on confidence even with a two-goal lead. They lack the fear factor that Manchester United has. You just knew even at 2-0 down on Saturday that they were going to come back. As soon as they got one you knew two and three would follow and you sense Villa did as well. Teams subconsciously retreat when they have a lead against United because they just know they are going to come back. More importantly Manchester United know it too. It is a belief that has already taken Fergusons teams a long way and, undoubtedly, will do again.
MANCHESTER CITYS Carlos Tevez has had a go at Gary Neville for his dual role as Sky TV pundit and England coach. I agree that it could get awkward. There will come a time when Neville will have to analyse or criticise an England player
From Back Page Shelvey, Kyle Walker, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe and Alex OxladeChamberlain are all set to miss the clash in Stockholm through injury. Ivory Coast-born Zaha has been rewarded for his form for Palace in the Championship with a call-up from Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson (below). As revealed in Sunsport, he has been trailed by Ivory Coasts management. But Zaha, who has played five times for E n g l a n d Under-21s, has always insisted he wanted to play for the Three Lions. Last night, he tweeted: wow everythings happening so fast. Zaha has been heavily linked with a January move to Arsenal. But he said: When January comes I have to decide. Captain Steven Gerrard will have a late fitness test on a knee problem, while Carl Jenkinson has received international clearance to join England after formerly playing for Finland Under-19s. There is also a late call-up for Tottenhams Tom Huddlestone.

SAM ALLARDYCE hailed Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll his telepathic strike twins.
West Hams Captain Marvel caused Alan Pardews men all sorts of problems in tandem with ex-Toon team-mate Carroll as the Hammers climbed to sixth. And Upton Park boss Allardyce is convinced that the pair big pals off the field take their understanding on to it to prove a constant nightmare for Premier League defences. After leading West Ham to a 1-0 triumph their first win on Tyneside for 14 years against his old club, Allardyce said: Kevins relationship with Andy is such a good one that I dont need to do a lot of coaching with the two of them.
Nolan came back to haunt Newcastle by bagging the winner at St James Park yesterday the Scousers fifth of the season.
The talented right-back was handed a new fiveyear contract by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger at the Emirates. And he was also given international clearance to join Roy Hodgsons England squad for Wednesday nights friendly in Sweden.

If anything, they instinctively play off each other. While Andys struggling to get a goal and we would like him to get one Kevins scoring them, so were reaping the benefits of that relationship. The combination of the two of them is causing problems for other teams. Kevins our captain and leading goalscorer, he has got us the win with his goal and his instincts in the box are there for all to see. Its five goals in 11 games for him and it should be six because hes also had one chalked off. Andys getting better and better as time goes on for us and that partnership with Kevin is brilliant. Long may it continue because its getting us victories and points on the board.
From Back Page a perfect return to Toon with his 37th-minute strike to fire Hammers team into sixth place. Nolan joined West Ham at the start of last season from Newcastle in a 5million deal. And he admitted: It was a perfect scenario for me to score. It was emotional. But I was never going to celebrate scoring here. I never will. That was down to the support I got when I was at Newcastle. But this was a great result for us.

was a huge win because it was a difficult moment. We had a lot of important players injured. Here I saw the same spirit that I saw last year. After they scored I thought we were fantastic. We have made some mistakes in the Champions League but in football you can never say never. His reigning Premier League champions are now unbeaten in 11 league games this term. But they looked set to lose at home for the first time in the top flight since December 2010, when Everton won 2-1 at the Etihad. Centre-back Steven Caulker headed visitors Tottenham in front after 21 minutes. But Sergio Aguero levelled and Edin Dzeko again proved to be Citys supersub with a brilliant late winner.

his lack of opportunities from the bench but he is certainly making an impact. He has now earned the champions nine points by coming on as a sub and is making a case for starting more regularly. Mancini said: Edin is not happy. But a player who is happy on the bench does not exist.
Destroy
We had three important strikers today, last year we won the championship because of goals from our strikers. Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas admitted that, in Dzeko, City have their own version of Manchester Uniteds Javier Hernandez. He added: We lost because of an individual moment of brilliance from Dzeko. He continues to be on the bench and come on to destroy the opposition. If there is a comparable situation to this one, it is Chicharito.
AGUERO v ADEBAYOR
CITY striker Aguero did not have his best day but still plundered vital goal. Adebayor began like he meant business but ended up being subbed without an effort of note. LIKE countryman Tevez, you never get less than 100 per cent from Aguero. Adebayor could not be faulted either early on but lost heart when the ball did not come his way. AGU ERO has guar ante ed himself cult status at City, his legend can now only grow. Adebayor was greeted with boos that got louder and he was jeered from the pitch. AGUERO reacted angrily when he did not win a first-half penalty but otherwise kept his cool. Adebayor had a running battle with Zabaleta and caught him with a forearm late on. THE battle of two of Citys bigmoney buys from the Abu Dhabi era was clearly won by Aguero. He scored a vital equaliser as Adebayor faile to sustain his early threat. d
which makes the difference. To have a player so strong like Dzeko, to come on when his team needs him deserves great credit and surprises me. It was like that in the game against Chelsea, Mata and Oscar were extremely good. City have now equalled their Prem record of 17 matches unbeaten and looked more like their old selves in patches. I said then We can only pick 11 players and put people on the substitutes bench. Its the way at every club. But weve got a lot of players that would play in almost every Premier League team. Once you have played 60-65 minutes then you want to freshen it up. This was the fourth time this season the champions have come from behind to win. Platt added: It shows theres a belief that we dont go under we continue to play our football. That is the danger when you are in a game. Meanwhile, City striker Mario Balotelli watched the game from the stands amid reports City are willing to sell him back to Inter Milan in January. But Platt said: He was left out because the gaffer can only pick 18 players. m.blackburn@the-sun.co.uk

The White Hart Lane chief (right) failed to react and it had the desired effect as City hit back to win thanks to late goals from Sergio Aguero and supersub Edin Dzeko.

From Back Page in pain right now and will go to hospital in the morning. We wont know the full extent of the damage until we have the results of the scan but we hope its not long-term. Suarez, who nicked Liverpools secondhalf equaliser, went on Twitter to voice his concern for Terry. He tweeted: A shame we couldnt get the three points. Glad to help the team with another goal . . . Hugs to Terry, I hope its nothing serious. Ex-England captain Terrry had surgery on the same knee earlier in the year. And if he has sustained cruciate ligament damage, that would require another

operation putting him out for anything up to six months. Terrys injury was sustained when striker Suarez fell on to his outstretched leg following a shove from behind by Chelsea midfielder Ramires. It was immediately apparent Terry was in serious trouble as he beat the ground and signalled for help.
First
The injury could not have come at a worse time for Terry, who was playing his first Premier League game since completing a four-match ban for racially abusing QPRs Anton Ferdinand. Di Matteo said: We had just got John back into the team. Its a real shame.
THE Chinese claim they are closing in on Frank Lampard. Reports from China last night confirmed our SunSport exclusives dating back to March that the Chelsea and England midfielder is the No 1 priority for Super League side Guizhou Rehne. Lampard, who is out with a calf injury at the moment, has been offered 250,000 a week to move to the Far East and Guizhou want him in January. Lamps, 34, is not dismissing the approach and has listened to what the Chinese have to offer. Earlier this year, Guizhou chairman Wang Guolin told SunSport: I want the best team in China and we are prepared to invest a lot of money to bring Lampard to us. The move is being masterminded by super agent Pini Zahavi, who is brokering a number of deals in China. But although talks are continuing with Lampard, no deal has yet been agreed.

FAN REACTION LIVERPOOL fans targeted Fernando Torres with jeers and chants for leaving Anfield in 2011. But Chelsea fans sang his name. THREAT TORRES forced Brad Jones into a save with a second-half header but appears to be short on confidence in front of goal. Luis Suarez was a constant worry and got his reward. WORKRATE CHELSEA fans appreciated Torres putting in a shift and tracking back to win the ball. Suarez got involved everywhere. VERDICT SUAREZ is in great form and has netted in his last four games. Total contrast to Torres, who looked downbeat when subbed.
IT was Liverpools old goal hero against the new and there was only one winner.
BRENDAN RODGERS admits Liverpool are still miles away from challenging for the Premier League title.
And the anxious Kop boss called on the clubs American owners to make a serious investment in the January transfer market to close the growing gap. Luis Suarezs 73rd-minute equaliser pegged back Chelsea and stretched Liverpools unbeaten league run to six games. But his goal could not ease the growing concerns of a manager whose team is currently on course to finish a staggering 55 points behind the eventual champions. Rodgers admitted: The reality is that we are a long way off in the league and Im not even going to use the word challenging. You dont need to be a rocket scientist to see that. We finished eighth last season and
MARK IRWIN
it will be fantastic if we can improve on that. Thats the reality of where Liverpool are, Im afraid, and it cant be easy for our supporters to accept that. They are being very lenient with myself and the team and Im sure they will sometimes be frustrated but I knew it would be a difficult year, given the expectations around this club. We all know of Liverpools great history but we cant keep looking backwards in the rear-view mirror. We have to look forward. This was our sixth draw of the season and we need one or two more players in the January transfer window to turn those draws into victories. But those players dont come
cheap and there wont be too many available in January. The owners have given me great support since Ive been here but, if youre not going to have a massive investment to make it happen quickly, we have to develop it. The players we have are giving us everything but we need materials.
Adamant
So, hopefully, we can add to this group in the window and next season well be better for it. Rodgers was adamant that his team deserved their point yesterday and took the blame for their poor first-half performance. He said: We were a bit tentative in the first half and it was my fault because I changed our usual formation and we couldnt quite get our distances right. But the players showed great character
yet again to come from a goal down and to come to place like Chelsea and get a point is a terrific result. But Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo was not satisfied with the result, which leaves Chelsea three points behind United, having led the table by four points two weeks ago. The Italian complained: We needed to score a second goal to kill the game off and we had the chances to do that but missed the opportunities. A 1-0 lead is always dangerous and it was a poor goal to concede from a corner because we had our man-marking in place and Suarez pushed Ramires away to create the space to nod the ball in. Sometimes the ref spots those little shoves, sometimes they dont. When United won here we had two sent off and they scored an offside winner and thats a big advantage for the opposition. But were still playing well and creating
chances and were in much better shape than in previous years and very close to our best. Were still in the mix but the amount of games we have played in this period has some kind of effect. Rodgers confirmed that he expects skipper Steven Gerrard to join up with the England squad today and win his 100th cap against Sweden on Wednesday night, despite needing treatment for a knee injury yesterday.
Exercises
He said: I think Steve will be all right. Hes opened up his medial ligament a bit and has some ice on his knee. But Jonjo Shelvey might have to withdraw from the squad after missing yesterdays trip. Rodgers added: Jonjo felt his thigh a bit during some shooting exercises the other day and we gave him every opportunity to play but he wasnt quite right. m.irwin@the-sun.co.uk
