THE DIMWIT STRIKES BACK

Rio Ferdinand has proved his worth once again by actually turning up to work when he had a day off. He arrived at Carrington on Wednesday morning after the squad had been given the day off following Tuesday's match. He said "I turned up for training and, when I got there, I was told it was a day off," a confused Ferdinand said yesterday. "I didn't realise. I thought it was training as usual."

There was also some insight into the hectic lifestyle he leads which obviously makes him so forgetful.

"In the morning I always have coco pops for my breakfast with bananas and then strawberry yogurt. Then I go into training where I always have my left ankle strapped to make sure I don't injure it. It's just something I always do.

"When I get home in the afternoon I just like to watch TV. I watch that programme Loose Women and sometimes Trisha. I just watch whatever's on."
