  1. Greenwood on Tuilagi injurypublished at 11:47 Greenwich Mean Time 20 January 2015

    "Stuart Lancaster would have had him down as one of the two centres that he'd have gone to the World Cup with, but Jonathan Joseph in the European Cup has been quite brilliant so I suspect he will now get a crack in Tuilagi's thirteen jersey," said Greenwood.

    "The European Champions Cup has been absolutely outstanding and it's given an opportunity for a lot of the English lads to stick their hands up - Luther Burrell, Brad Barritt is back again ... so I don't think out cupboard is as bare as people would like to make it."

    Jonathan de Guzman - The Swansea midfielder won and converted a penalty for his side's fourth goal in their 5-0 Capital One Cup final win over Bradford - but not before a lengthy row with team-mate Nathan Dyer. The diminutive winger had already scored twice and could clearly be seen pleading "It's a hat-trick" as he attempted to prise the ball from De Guzman. Dyer was notably subdued in the celebrations after the goal.

  15. Paying the penaltypublished at 10:54 Greenwich Mean Time 20 January 2015

    Paolo di Canio - When West Ham were awarded a spot-kick while trailing Bradford 4-2 in the Premier League in 2000, the ball was spotted by regular taker Frank Lampard only for Italian Di Canio to pull rank, re-placing the ball himself and tucking the ball away. He then continued the argument with Lampard as the pair returned to the halfway line. Joe Cole then equalised, before Lampard, rather fittingly, scored to earn a remarkable 5-4 win.

  19. Get involved - penalty caperspublished at 10:37 Greenwich Mean Time 20 January 2015

    We are asking for your thoughts on Everton midfielder Kevin Mirallas's controversial penalty at Goodison Park last night.

    Simon Kimbrell: When your regular penalty taker has a 14 out of 15 success rate then it doesn't matter who you are, put your ego away and let the guy take it.

    Mark Yeldham: Kasami was fined for the same thing Vs Chelsea in the league cup. Missed and Fulham went out on pens ironically

    Andrew Braid: You'd only describe Mirallas' decision to take the penalty as wrong because he missed. If he scored it would have been right.

    Chris Robertson: I'm livid because I have Baines in my fantasy team!
