The Football Association says QPR defender Rio Ferdinand was harshly punished for comments he made on Twitter because he is a "role model".

Ferdinand was banned for three matches and fined £25,000 for using the word "sket" - a promiscuous girl or woman.

"With nearly 6m followers, Mr Ferdinand is clearly an experienced Twitter user and should know better," said the FA. "He is, without doubt, a role model for many young people. His responsibility is therefore that much greater."

Norwich boss Neil Adams admits he is "hugely" concerned by his side's loss of form following Tuesday's 4-0 defeat by Middlesbrough.

The Canaries were top of the Championship in mid-October but have won only two of their last nine games and are now down to seventh.

"After a heavy defeat and a performance that isn't good enough, we'll certainly be thinking about changes," Adams told BBC Radio Norfolk.

Leicester Tigers and England prop Dan Cole will make his return from a long-term neck injury in the LV= Cup against Sale Sharks at Welford Road on Sunday.

What would you do if your phone rang and someone told you it was John Terry on the other end end of the line? Hang up before thinking which of your mates was pranking you? Yep, me too.

Terry told him he would put his case to his bosses - I wouldn't hold your breath though Joe....

Forward Patrick Bamford believes there are similarities between Middlesbrough and the Derby side he helped to the Championship play-offs last season.

Bamford, 21, is on loan at the Riverside from Chelsea, and had a similar spell with the Rams last term.

Boro are now second in the table, winning nine of 16 games, including Tuesday's 4-0 victory against Norwich.

"The big thing at Derby was the squad togetherness and it's the same here, if not better," Bamford told BBC Tees. "It's a bigger squad but we're in it together and united as a team."

"I still think there's a bit of a hangover there. I think there's a dark cloud hanging over Anfield."

Maribor coach Ante Simundza says Chelsea's injury worries will not weaken the Premier League leaders and doesn't expect the Blues will "hold off" during this evening's Champions League clash.

Striker Loic Remy is sidelined with a groin injury while leading scorer Diego Costa is doubtful because of a hamstring problem.

"In London, Chelsea played superbly and were better in every department. I am sure that Chelsea will not hold off and I know Jose Mourinho wants all three points here in Maribor," said Simundza. , external

"Chelsea's injury situation is not so important. For me, all that matters is that we are competitive, that we make the most of our chances and take as many points as possible."
