zsggg - Caulker bust up with palace mob?

[Stanley]

Robert Green has laughed off reports Caulker was injured in a fight at a west London pub during a QPR Christmas lunch, at which Crystal Palace players were also present:

"If you wanted an accurate headline on the story, it would be 'man falls over'," Green told BBC Radio Five Live. "I think that in response, the club have said pretty much what happened: he came out, slipped over and banged his head.

But this is the nature of the beast in football. I must have been in a different bar. It was a Sunday lunch, after we'd had a tough week winning two games out of three, including a big win against Burnley. We didn't have a game until a week on Monday.

We've got people far too old to be going out late at night, with me, Rio Ferdinand and Richard Dunne. Steven was back out of hospital and we had a laugh about it, and unfortunately it's made the front page of the paper."

Thanks Stanley
I just read Kirill's pallid observations on the Merry Christmas thread and wondered if anyone had posted Green's interview on this thread.
I heard the interview whilst out yesterday and frankly, it just confirmed what I and most of us already knew, that this Sun story was sensationalist garbage.
I do find it ironic how the naysayers pipe down and turn to a new thread once the truth outs so definitively

so it's possible our players got smashed by palace, but the real problem is when the palace ULTRAS come to rangers, they are the loudest fans and a real threat, i mean...could mean more stitches!
rio allegedly done by some sarf london trout too! be afraid, be very afraid

I am very afraid even here in Estonia. Cannot imagine what you must feel like over there. Scary times we live in. I hope they don't come here. I am a peaceful man.

'he came out'?
