But it has been revealed that the number of Treasury staff on six-figure salaries has doubled in two years. Theresa May’s Home Office has also seen a 50% increase in six-figure bureaucrats while slashing police budgets. The number of staff on four times the national average salary has also gone up at the Equalities Office and the Department for Energy.

Hypocrisy At the Treasury department 39 people earned more than £100,000 in 2011-12 compared to just 20 in 2009-10. The number of Treasury staff earning more than £80,000 also rose from 47 before the election to 75 last year.

Tory in Mitchell warning NO-ONE comes out of the Plebgate row “smelling of roses”, a top Tory has said. Conservative Party vice-chairman Michael Fabricant took to Twitter to ask questions about former chief whip Andrew Mitchell and police officers on the gates of Downing Street. He wrote: “If Andrew Mitchell was stitched up by the police, it is unforgivable. But will we ever know exactly what was said and by whom? “I suspect the truth is six-of-one and half-a-dozen of the other. “No-one comes out of it smelling of roses: neither the police nor Andrew.”

ers will be appalled to learn he has failed to practise what he has been preaching in his own department. “When families are struggling to make ends meet, and most civil servants are supposed to be subject to a pay freeze, this smacks of hypocrisy.” Tory backbencher Dominic Raab, who uncovered the figures following a series of parliamentary questions, said: “The astonishing number of bureaucrats on six-figure salaries should be going down, not up.” A Treasury spokesman said the huge rise was the result of the department’s recruitment of former business leaders to advise on Britain’s long-term infrastructure priorities and bring in private sector investment.

Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols told the BBC: “There was no announcement in any party manifesto, no Green Paper, no statement in the Queen’s Speech. “From a democratic point of view, it’s a shambles.”

KATE LOOKS GREAT FOR CAROLS DAY

PREGNANT Princess Kate was radiant in red as she wrapped up warm for church yesterday. She was joined by proud husband Prince William for a carol service at St Mark’s in Englefield, Berks. The couple, both 30, spent Christmas with Kate’s parents Michael and Carole. Meanwhile the Queen, 86, enjoyed her traditional Christmas Day service at Sandringham church in King’s Lynn. She was accompanied by Prince Philip, 91, who missed last year’s service due to illness. Guests included the Queen’s Olympic rider granddaughter Zara Phillips, 31, and her rugby player husband Mike Tindall, 34. Princesses Beatrice, 24, and Eugenie, 22, left carrying gifts of flowers after the ceremony.

Jim is off his trolley AN impatient shopper who squeezed his car into a supermarket trolley bay to avoid Christmas queues sparked chaos as crowds flocked to see his parking. The driver, known only as Jim, was shocked to find people staring at his car when he returned from the Asda store in Nuneaton, Warks, where bosses even waived the usual £75 fine. Jim said: “I did struggle to get out. I only went to buy beer. There was a huge crowd when I got back.”

After being glued to the Paralympic Games this summer, Rio and his parents Juliette and

Juliette, 44, from Bushey Heath, Herts, said: “After it was fitted Rio couldn’t stop jumping up and down. “He was so captivated by the Paralympics and now he can run too.”

Yesterday, Brits splurged more than £300m online, up a giant 65% on last year’s £186m, as shop bosses opened sales early to beat competitors. One in three of us are expected to shop until we drop today as we go bargain hunting, braving the cold, queues and traffic jams for early openings. One in 10 Brits is preparing to queue for up to two hours to bag the best of the seasonal bargains, according to research by Sheilas’ Wheels home insurance. In London, shopper numbers are expected to be dented by a London Underground strike although shopping centre bosses across the rest of the country said that they expected bumper sales. Lakeside shopping centre, Essex, put staff on duty from 3am to cope with an expected 3,000 people queuing for the Next sale, with 110,000 shoppers expected in total today. Bluewater, in Kent, predicts over 120,000 visitors on Boxing Day while Birmingham’s Bullring Centre expects 4,000 people queuing from 4am and a “massive” day with 230,000 visitors in total.

Slashed Sheffield’s Meadowhall is expected to see 150,000 shoppers, with 200,000 at Manchester’s Trafford Centre, and 100,000 at Gateshead’s Metrocentre and Bristol’s Cabot Circus. The Braehead Centre, near Glasgow, is expected to see close to 100,000 shoppers, with 60,000 expected at Aberdeen’s Union Square, which reported near-record shopper numbers last weekend. Next, which has slashed sale items to half price or less, is expected to open earliest this morning, at 6am. Topshop and Marks and Spencer both opened at 8am, with M&S offering up to 50% off. Clothes and fashion items will be the best-sellers, with gadget sales expected to continue bumper preChristmas sales, retail chiefs said. Travel companies also expect a surge in sales today as Brits book bargain getaways. Teletext Holidays said it had about 50,000 hits on its website yesterday. And managing director Victoria Sanders, said: “The January sales are getting earlier and earlier, but Boxing Day is still one of the busiest days of the year for the travel industry.” Analysts Experian have predicted that Christmas 2012 will be the “biggest and busiest ever” for online retailers in the UK, with visits to retail websites expected to reach 126m today, up 31% on 2011. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the Centre for Retail Research, said: “Boxing Day will be a stampede. Many people have transferred November and December spending to the sales, as they want to buy items more cheaply.” On Christmas Day, analysis from Halfords found sales peaked at noon and 11pm. Amazon’s UK website said it had seen sales on Christmas Day increase by 263% over the last five years. And it expected yesterday to be its busiest Christmas Day ever, partly due to the growth in home broadband, tablets and smartphones. [email protected]

TWO children and a woman were killed yesterday in a horrific Christmas Day motorway crash. Two other women were seriously injured when their car flipped over in the accident just before midday on the M6. The road had been lashed by rain, but the Highways Agency said there was no bad weather at the time. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of ambulance crews, nothing could be done to save the two boys and one woman, and they were confirmed dead at the scene.” The boys were aged four and 10 and the dead woman was 32. The smash happened on the northbound carriageway between junctions 14 and 15 near Stoke-on-Trent. The motorway was closed in both directions. Yesterday police were faced with the heart-breaking job of telling next of kin that their loved ones had been killed. A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: “We are appealing for witnesses.” It was the second fatal accident of the day. Two people were killed and a third person seriously injured in a crash on the B3349 Odiham Road near Basingstoke, Hants. A man, believed to be the driver, was tended by medics then taken to hospital. And on the M6 Toll, a man escaped with minor injuries after his vehicle split into at least three pieces following a collision between junctions 5 and 6 eastbound.

TRAGEDY: Rescue workers at the crash site

CLOSED: The motorway The man, in his mid-20s, suffered multiple minor injuries and was taken to hospital. A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “Considering the damage, the man was extremely fortunate not to have suffered more serious or even fatal injuries.” The grim death toll on Britain’s roads reached 13 in just 24 hours. Meanwhile, the UK is facing more flood hell. Boxing Day shoppers look set to get drenched and wind and rain will cause more road chaos. More than 260 flood alerts were issued yesterday as weather watchers warned Brits of more rain to come. The north-west will be soaked again on Friday, with more rain over the weekend ahead of New Year’s Eve. The Environment Agency said ground is so saturated that even small amounts of rain could cause flooding. And the RAC forecast a surge in wet weather-related call-outs, telling drivers to slow down and not to drive through flood water. Met Office forecaster Helen Chivers said: “Boxing Day is expected to start with sunshine and showers, some heavy, with the chance of snow over Scottish mountains.” Meanwhile, a man in his 20s was critically injured on Christmas Eve after his car collided with horses that had escaped onto a busy road. Three horses died when four vehicles crashed into the animals on Sproughton, near Ipswich, just after 10pm. [email protected]

MISSING: April in pink

CHERYL CRACKER

Google hunt for April, 5 THE name of missing schoolgirl April Jones has become the fifth most popular search term on Google in 2012. Heartbroken parents Coral and Paul Jones have refused to give up hope in the 12 weeks since the five-year-old was last seen. And yesterday they released a new picture of April dressed in her favourite colour pink. It was taken during a caravan holiday last summer just two months before she vanished while playing outside their home in Machynlleth, Powys, on October 1. The couple and their two other children Jazmin, 16, and Harley, 10, spent Christmas Day reading some of the thousands of messages from wellwishers worldwide. Machynlleth’s mayor Gareth Jones said: “The family have been in our thoughts ever since it happened. “We knew this time of year would be difficult for everyone and it is proving to be the case.” A pink star shines over the town in memory of April as part of Christmas decorations. Mark Bridger, 47, of Machynlleth, has been charged with April’s murder and perverting the course of justice. He is due to appear in court on January 11.

CHERYL Cole has stunned fans with a raunchy Xmas “sex tape” of her and lover Tre Holloway.

The Geordie saucepot tweeted a link to their steamy vid on Christmas Eve to make sure the big day went off with a bang. It showed the lovebirds getting down and dirty in a variety of raunchy poses to the sound of Cheryl’s track Ghetto Baby. The Girls Aloud songbird even tried her hand at rapping as she puckered up to hunky rapper Tre, 27, in a variety of skimpy outfits. She growled out lyrics like: “We’re a match made in heaven and this kind of love’s forever” as they performed their risqué dance moves.

Thrusting

Video is ‘worse than a sex tape’

The most daring moment came when Cheryl, 29, mounted Tre in a bridge position and the pair attempted hip thrusting in unison. Shocked followers went online to share their opinions of the sexy tape, filmed by iconic fashion photographer Rankin, 46. Fan @SoldierPauline tweeted: “@CherylCole some of those parts are worse than a sex tape! ;o not complaining though ;) ooooh i’m bad!” And @Kayleighh_Loves wrote: “Basically sat watching Cheryl and Tre’s sex tape... Happy Christmas everyone.” Meanwhile a coy Cheryl stayed tight-lipped about the sizzling sexual tension in the song, penned by Born To Die singer Lana Del Rey, 26. Instead the brunette beauty tweeted: “Merry Christmas everybody. It’s officially here :D.” Before posting a link, she added: “I love working with @rankinphoto so much that I did this exclusively for him, here it is for you … #MerryChristmas.” Cheryl and Tre went public with their relationship six months ago. But Cheryl’s mum Joan Callaghan stepped in and banned Tre from proposing yesterday. He is keen to pop the question but Joan thinks it’s too soon after the star’s marriage to footie ace Ashley Cole, 32, ended in 2010. [email protected]

Maniac shoots firemen ® by MARC WALKER A GUN maniac who shot dead two firefighters in America’s latest gun outrage left a chilling note. Convicted killer William Spengler, 62, said he wanted to burn down the neighbourhood and “do what I like doing best, killing people”. Tomasz Kaczowka, 19, and Mike Chiapperini, 43, were gunned down after they answered a call-out to a house blaze, believed to have been started by Spengler. And last night it was feared there could be more victims from the fire, which destroyed seven homes in a quiet lakeside village. Spengler blasted the firemen as they tackled

ROW: Piers and rival Jeremy

66,000 sign protest at gun rant MORE than 66,000 Americans have signed a petition to deport Piers Morgan over his gun control remarks. The former Britain’s Got Talent judge sparked fury on his chat show in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.

A protest on the White House website demands: “Deport British Citizen Piers Morgan for Attacking 2nd Amendment.” The Second Amendment protects the right of Americans to bear arms. Meanwhile, Morgan’s long-time rival Jeremy Clarkson, 52, tweeted that he may start a petition “to keep Piers Morgan in America!” Piers, 47, told Gun Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt: “You’re an unbelievably stupid man, aren’t you? “You have absolutely no coherent argument. You don’t actually give a damn about the gun murder rate in America.” More than 59,000 people signed the petition in the first three days, easily smashing through the 25,000-signature barrier needed to get a White House response. Piers later tweeted: “If I do

get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?” He received replies offering him sanctuary from as far away as Australia, Nigeria and the Philippines. But he later insisted he was more worried about two firemen gunned down in New York state on Christmas Eve. He posted: “I don’t care about a petition to deport me. I do care about poor NY firefighters murdered/injured with an assault weapon today.” Clarkson, who has a long-running feud with Morgan, later tweeted the 2nd Amendment was aimed at protecting “you from the tyranny of the British… Piers Morgan in other words.” Top Gear presenter Clarkson felt Morgan’s reporters had intruded into his private life while he was a news paper editor. The two men came to blows eight years ago at an awards bash.

the fierce blaze in Webster, New York state. The two men died at the scene, while two others suffered gunshot wounds. It is believed Spengler then turned the gun on himself. The gunman shared his home with his sister Cheryl, who is missing, believed dead. Fire chiefs said it was unclear if everyone got out of the other houses. A police spokesman said: “It does appear that the fire was a trap.” Spengler served a 17-year jail term for killing his 92-year-old grandmother in a hammer attack. He was released in 1998. The shootings come less than two weeks after the Sandy Hook massacre.

TOUGH ROLE: DiCaprio

Django a no-go for Leo LEONARDO DiCaprio hated playing a racist plantation owner in new film Django Unchained. Leo, 38, plays Calvin Candie, who owns slaves and forces them to fight. He said: “There was nothing about this man I identified with. I hate him. It is one of the most horrible and racist roles I’ve heard of.” But DiCaprio’s black co-stars, Samuel L Jackson, 64, and Jamie Foxx, 45, backed his role. DiCaprio said: “Sam and Jamie told me, ‘People will resent the hell out of you if you sugarcoat this’.”

COP SAVES WOMAN IN SAMURAI ATTACK Unarmed officer tackles man wielding 3ft sword

VICTIM: Matthew is furious that yob got away with a caution

CRIME HORROR 1 A POLICEMAN saved a woman from a madman armed with a samurai sword, crossbow and hunting knives. She was being slashed repeatedly with the three-foot long sword in a random street attack. Nearby residents said the terrified victim was screaming “like an animal” and lay bleeding heavily on the ground. The unarmed sergeant stepped in and asked the crazed attacker

to put his weapon down. But the man turned on him and threatened him with his sword before he was eventually tackled and arrested. Inside his bag were hunting knives, a crossbow, a mallet, samurai-type swords and a gas mask. His 22-year-old victim, who suffered stab wounds to the legs, arms and face, is in a serious but not lifethreatening condition in hospital. Steven Oltay, 19, who witnessed the Christmas Eve attack in Holloway, north London, said: “I was woken up by a woman screaming. Horrific screams, like an animal. “I thought it was someone being murdered.” Police have praised the quick-thinking sergeant for his bravery.

Courage Detective Superintendent Steve Wallace said: “This was a vicious unprovoked stranger attack. “If it had not been for the officer’s bravery and quick thinking the woman and other members of the public could have been killed. “Courage such as this is above and beyond the call of duty and I can’t commend the officer highly enough.” He added: “The fact that the officer was unarmed and alone when he tackled the man only underlines his bravery.” The victim’s family have rushed over from Italy. Yesterday a 25-year-old man from central London was charged with two counts of attempted murder. He will appear before Highbury Corner magistrates today.

GROOMED: TOWIE’S Mark Wright, right, and James ‘Arg’ Argent

LADS ARE MAD FOR MAKE UP MORE men are buying female beauty products such as lip balm, nail-grooming kits and wax strips.

Hair removal creams, dyes and moisturisers are among other items that are increasingly popular with image-conscious blokes.

Researchers say the influence of shows such as TOWIE and stars like Mark Wright, 25, and James “Arg” Argent, 23, are encouraging men to apply make-up.

Facial More than one in four men (27%) in Britain admit to using lip balm, while 21% use hand and nail products. Hair dyes, colourants, hair-removal creams and wax strips are used by 14% of men, while 12% are partial to a spot of self-tan. But facial moisturisers have seen the most significant rise in usage over the last few years, according to the report by market analysts Mintel. Today, almost two-thirds of men (64%) admit to using a moisturiser, with 23%

doing so on a daily basis. Overall, 85% of men regularly undertake activities that show a desire to look well-groomed. Hands are no exception with 30% saying they always keep their nails neat and tidy. Stylishly coiffured hair is essential for one in four men and 13% even admit they do not like people touching their hair to disturb the styling. In addition, more than one in 10 men (13%) say they always dress to impress. The men’s toiletries market has soared to a record high in 2012 of £574million, up from £523m in 2009. And in the next five years sales are expected to grow by a further 7% to reach £611m. Alexandra Richmond, head of beauty and personal care at Mintel, said: “Men’s attitudes to toiletries are changing. “Men are keen to keep their competitive edge, both socially and in the workplace, and grooming is a pro-active approach to looking and feeling good.”

Readers Poll-The Results TROUBLEMAKER in the charts he might have been this year, but Olly Murs is top of the Playlist readers’ poll, doing a double with Rihanna to scoop the two main titles. You guys have had your say, and the votes have been counted now as your favourite stars battled it out to win the accolades. Pop prince Olly didn’t just come top of the singles and albums pile in the

official charts this year with his Flo-Rida collaboration and third album Right Place Right Time. The 28-year-old proved to be one of your favourites as well as mine when he won the Best Male and Sexiest Male In Music Playlist 2012 titles. Pop diva Rihanna, 24, scooped both the Best Female and Sexiest Female In Music credits after nailing four Top 10 hits since last year’s poll. Continuing on from last year’s

success, Coldplay have proved to be as popular as ever, achieving the Best Band award for the second year running. Maybe next year they’ll make it a hat-trick as Chris Martin, 35, denied they’ll be taking a break any time soon. The Virgin Media V Festival, which was headlined by The Killers and Stone Roses, was voted your Best Festival. And I had a blast seeing Noel

Gallagher, 45, and Example, there. But the hottest tickets around belonged to The Rolling Stones, who continue to roll on, as they achieved the Best Tour, while 34-year-old Psy’s Gangnam Style won Best Music Video for his bonkers dancing. Here’s to 2013...

When I performed at Wireless in London’s Hyde Park to 100,000 fans I was on such a high – that was a real moment, a total rush. Meeting fans is something I try to do as much as possible as they’re the ones who put me here. As I was getting into a cab for the MOBO Awards in Liverpool a guy shouted at me that he’d had my logo tattooed on him, so of course I had to stop and do a picture with him for going to those lengths. My fans are really generous and get me cool jewellery – and they send me all my memorabilia, so I can keep a track of everything that’s published about me, like when I’m in Playlist. Plan B was one of my favourite people that I met this year. A friend in LA hooked us up when we were in town.

BEEB Staff ‘ELF’ FIASCO face new risk test ® by STIAN ALEXANDER

BBC staff have been ordered to fill out complex risk assessment forms – just to book a meeting room.

The corporation says the paperwork is needed in case anyone gets injured. But workers say thay are “baffled” by the latest health and safety restrictions. Now a row is echoing round the corridors of the BBC’s sparkling revamped base New Broadcasting House. The sprawling complex in London’s West End now has dozens of plush meeting rooms since its £1bn revamp earlier this year. They are named after BBC legends such as bumbling Dad’s Army favourite Captain Main-

waring, pictured right. Other rooms are called after other famous characters like Dot Cotton, Del Boy, Doctor Who, Basil Fawlty and even Edina and Patsy from Ab Fab. Staff among the 6,000 based there were looking forward to the absolutely fabulous new meeting rooms, but have been told: “Not so fast! There are health and safety rules.” A staff member said: “I’m utterly baffled as to why I’ve been asked to fill out a risk assessment form when booking a meeting area.” Another, who asked not to be named, said:

“Some of us have tried to book out meeting rooms only to be sent a risk assessment form asking lots of daft questions. “It’s a real faff just for booking a meeting room, you can’t just turn up and use it.” Steve Gregory, the Beeb’s head of production safety, said if external guests were invited or extra lighting or hanging equipment was needed on structures, then [BBC] Workplace might need further information to ensure everything has been thought through.

WHO’S WHO: Matt Smith and below, Tennant, Baker, Pertwee and Troughton

Who gets stamped for 50th ® by ALAN JONES

The 50th anniversary of TV favourite Doctor Who will be marked by a set of Royal Mail first-class stamps next year. Eleven stamps go on sale on March 26 featuring each of the actors to play the Time Lord from the first Doctor, William Hartnell, to the current one, Matt Smith. David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton will also be featured. And a five-stamp sheet will be available showing the Doctor’s time-travelling machine, the Tardis, and famous foes including a Dalek, a Cyberman, an Ood and a Weeping Angel. Andrew Hammond, managing director of stamps and collectibles at Royal Mail, said: “We are delighted to be able to celebrate this remarkable anniversary. “These stamps pay tribute to the actors who have played the Doctor over the years as well as the adversaries that helped make the show so popular.” Fiona Eastwood of BBC Worldwide said: “The stamps are the perfect way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this much-loved programme. The collection is impressive, and I am sure they will delight all Doctor Who fans.” The first Doctor Who episode was broadcast in November 1963, and the programme now attracts audiences of up to 16million.

DIRTY DANCING: Burlesque babe Satine Di Monte

DAVINA McCall is planning an X-rated 2013 because she thinks she’s become too boring. The Got To Dance presenter has given up booze, sugar and cigarettes. So now she wants a cheeky new vice and she’s hinted it may involve some sexy action with husband Matthew Robertson. Davina, 45, explained: “My new year’s resolution is to start something naughty. “I don’t know what it is yet, but I’ve given up sugar, alcohol and smoking. I’ve really got to start doing something naughty. “Matthew will have to enjoy it too, it’ll be something naughty with him otherwise it would be illegal or I’d get myself into trouble. “With Matthew it might be fun and naughty, I’m sure I’ll discuss that with him at some point.” The bubbly TV star has already confessed that Christmas makes her horny. Speaking before the holidays, she laughed: “Matthew’s battened down the hatches at home because he knows Christmas is coming in more ways than one!”

C\kk\ij \dX`cj TORY MP Alec Shelbrooke wants people on benefits to have welfare cards so they can’t use the money for cigarettes and booze. The question is, though, will it really stop them getting them? The answer must be no. They will find ways, including stealing from easy targets such as the elderly. Another question is, if it works and they all stop smoking and drinking, just how much will the Government lose in tax revenue? Billions. I feel this proposal would be ill advised and could not work well without repercussions. Further proposals will need to include the effect on the economic recovery.

A BURGLAR is robbing a house when he is distracted by a voice saying: “Jesus is watching you!” He looks wildly about him and realises it is just a pet parrot talking “What’s your name?” he asks the bird. “Moses,” replies the parrot. The burgular guffaws with laughter. “Moses? What kind of person would call their parrot Moses?” exclaims the burglar. The parrot shrugs. “The same kind of person who calls his Rottweiler Jesus,” it says. TOM by text I’M fed up with Christmas.

MAKING A FIST OF IT: Even playing games can get you toned

ARE you flagging after a blow-out this Christmas? As we head into the new year it could be worth adding a healthy supplement to your diet. Primrose Oil, for instance, has been linked with helping tackle digestive problems. Then there are Omega 3 fish oils. Experts say these may have benefits for your brain and help keep your heart healthy. And, of course, there are multi-vitamins that can make sure you’re topped up with all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly. These levels can take a battering during the Christmas and New Year onslaught. Vitamin C, for instance, is known to help bolster the immune system and may also have added benefits for your ticker too. Remember, supplements are no substitute for a healthy diet, but they could give you that little bit of a lift when your system really needs it. Lidl supplements: MinaVit Evening Primrose Oil 45 Capsules – 99p; MinaVit Omega 3 Fish Oil 45 Capsules – £1.39; MinaVit Multivitamins & Iron 60 tablets – 75p; Optisana Vitamin C Effervescence Tablets 20pack – £1.19.

JUST JANE Boozy boyfriend has ruined Xmas

WorldMags.net JANE O’GORMAN SOLVES YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY ... AND EVERY DAY

Fella’s ex is a looker

Boss in office romps

MY husband and I went to a party last week and it was truly the worst night of my life. His ex – who was a plain and frumpy old bag when he dumped her for me four years ago – was there. And I have to say she looked fantastic. Beside her I was the frump. My husband spent the night ogling her new boobs and dancing with her while I was left in the corner getting crosser and crosser. Then I couldn’t find him for ages and I was on the verge of losing my temper when I came across them in the front room. He was asleep with his head in her lap and she was stroking his hair. As you can imagine I was furious. We had to get home because of the baby-sitter but he didn’t want to leave. Now he keeps going on about her and I know that she has rung him a few times.

JUST before Christmas I saw my boss having sex with his secretary. They were in his office naked with empty champagne bottles on the floor. She was bent over his desk and he was behind her, then she rolled over off the desk and pleasured him. I was transfixed and couldn’t tear myself away. It was really rude and exciting. Finally my boss saw me and I scuttled away. I’ve been worrying all Christmas that I’m going to get the sack. Our firm has a no relationship policy and obviously having sex with your secretary means the boss has broken that. But he knows I know and might think I’ll tell his boss or even his wife. I wouldn’t do either but he’s pretty unpredictable at times, so I don’t know whether I should reassure him that I’ll keep quiet or what?

Picture posed by model

JANE SAYS: You must act quickly. Remind your husband that despite his ex’s new looks she is still the woman he dumped for you and that beauty is only skin deep. Point out that you have children and a happy life together. Would he want to risk all that just because his ex now looks sexy? You say you felt like the frump next to the sexy ex, so perhaps you need to have a bit of a makeover. His ex will then see that you aren’t a pushover and hopefully will back off.

HE THREW UP OVER OUR GAME

WHENEVER there is something to celebrate my boyfriend spoils it by getting spectacularly drunk. He has ruined birthday parties, special dinners and even some weddings and not forgetting, of course, Christmas. He always rolls up drunk as a skunk and everything goes wrong from then on. It’s always the same – first he is funny, then he flirts with all the women and really makes the kids laugh. If only he would stop drinking at this point… but of course then he has another pint and then he gets grumpy and finally abusive. At that point guests grab their coats and I’m left so embarrassed yet again.

Buffet Once everyone’s gone I’m left to deal with his temper and insults and now he’s just totally blown it again and this time I’m not in the forgiving mood. In a weak moment earlier this year I said that I would host the family Christmas Eve party. Usually my sister has everyone at her house for a buffet meal and some party games. But as she’s done it for the last four years I said it was my turn. My boyfriend said he would go out for the booze while I got the food ready and he promised to be back by 7pm. But when he hadn’t turned up by 9pm I knew I was in trouble. My family were trying to ignore the fact that he wasn’t there and

PARTY POOPER: His drunken antics leave her embarrassed and refusing to forgive him again luckily my dad had brought some wine with him. We ate, then when we were starting to play a board game my boyfriend reeled in as drunk as I’ve ever seen him and threw up over the Monopoly board. Then he called my brother-inlaw a prat when he tried to help him and leered at my sister. My dad marched him to the shower and shoved him under it fully dressed but he had already ruined everything… again. The

worst thing is that normally my guy doesn’t drink at all. JANE SAYS: It’s possible that your boyfriend finds it hard to cope with situations where he has to be on his best behaviour. Perhaps he finds it too stressful so has a drink to give him a little Dutch courage. Or it could be that he’s a spoilt brat who hates the idea of not being the centre of attention and is determined to ruin every event

you go to or organise. So, is he shy and retiring or just selfish and jealous? I think it’s the latter and that he ruins anything you look forward to because he can. He knows he has the power to hurt and humiliate you and so he does. If he really cared about you he would not have behaved so badly in the first place. It’s time to make him pay for his bad behaviour, so chuck him out before he gets any worse.

Hate your body? Jealousy hell

JANE SAYS: If your boss chooses to have sex in his office with his secretary during company time that’s his choice. It’s nothing to do with you and I’m sure he wouldn’t have done it if he thought he could be seen. It might not be right for him to behave like this but I suggest you keep your mouth shut and don’t tell anyone. Don’t even speak to him about it. If he calls you in and tries to discuss what you saw it might be an idea to pretend you don’t know what he’s talking about. This guy is your boss and if he’s as unpredictable as you say things could get nasty. If he does try to sack you then you would have to go to his boss but it would be your word against his so it’s just best to play it safe and hope it all blows over.

I can’t stop being a rat I FEEL bad because I have been cheating on my girlfriend. We’ve been together for almost a year and I’ve cheated on her four times. I know it would break her heart if she found out so I don’t want to confess what I’ve been doing. And I know she won’t find out from anyone else because I only cheat when I am working away from home. My lass loves me but I just don’t seem to be able to stop myself. I’d like to promise myself that I won’t cheat in 2013, so how can I make myself behave? JANE SAYS: Self-control would be a good starting point. You say your girlfriend loves you but if you felt the same for her you wouldn’t be tempted to cheat. You need to decide whether you want a serious relationship with your girlfriend and if you do then you have to stop being unfaithful.

Morning, you sex god

FARAWAY places are calling, Gemini. Could be you’ve planned an exciting getaway, snow-boarding in the Alps or sunbathing on some exotic beach. But even if you’re staying put, a little sport or exercise closer to home will do you good. Call me to hear when going to the sales is a bad idea.

PERHAPS you are putting together new equipment, trying out hi-tech gadgets you were given for Christmas or taking a break from all the Christmas excitement. Whatever you plan, it’s one of those days when an early start definitely isn’t in your best interests. Call me to hear why and when emotions are tender.

IF emotional turmoil have been disturbing your inner calm of late, assertive Mars moving out of your relationship zone today should take the heat out of your affairs. It’s Boxing Day so take it easy. Make it those three Rs… resting, relaxing and regrouping. Call me to hear when a decision goes awry.

CHRISTMAS is barely over but you are already turning your thoughts to work. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves. It will mean a lot of effort but if you’re keen to get things moving, there’s never been a better time to make your mark. Call me to hear when to expect a change of plans.

PAGES OFWorldMags.net FANTASTIC START WITH GREYHOUNDS

ONECO BEAUTY (12.42) is screaming out to be backed in the J B Riney Marathon final at Crayford. Bookmakers may not be renowned for their generosity but some have entered into the festive spirit by chalking up 7-2 about Maxine Locke’s Romford raider. That is way too big for a dog that was fastest in qualifying. Ladbrokes go a more cautious 9-4. Oneco Beauty remains somewhat under the radar being a fresh face on the marathon scene but there appeared to be no stamina concerns in her heat performance – she was drawing clear at the end of the 874m trip. Clearly the more established marathon duo of Buglys Billie and Lottes Girl command respect. That said, they were locked together for almost a circuit during their heat clash, with the former getting on top by a neck in

the dying strides. If the final pans out in the same fashion, it could fall nicely into the lap of my tip, who has enough of an early game to turn bang up with the pace, and seemingly the class and stamina to see it out. Sittingbourne also features open action on its matinee card, with LENSON TEDDY (11.15), a Grand National finalist over C&D in August, fancied in the 480m hurdles contest. The formbook suggests Tony Collett’s dog has it to do, given he was beaten six lengths by Airforce Spirit at Wimbledon last Thursday. Lenson Teddy,

BBC LOSE OUT

WOLVERHAMPTON JACKPOT CARD

BBC’S racing coverage has gone out like a damp squib as torrential rain has caused the postponement of tomorrow’s Coral Welsh Grand National.

It will now be staged on Saturday January 5, five days after the BBC’s interest in racing is pronounced clinically dead. Keith Ottesen, their senior Clerk of the Course said: “We have now had just on six inches of rain since December 14. “The track is waterlogged and, although we have seen some improvement in conditions on the days when it hasn’t rained, the cumulative effect of such high levels of rainfall now means that we require longer dry periods before the track will be fit for racing. “Given that there is high confidence in the forecast for further rain over the next few days we have been forced to abandon the meeting. “The rearranged card with prize money of £172,700K will be run at the new mini-

n by PATRICK WEAVER mum values with the Coral Welsh National remaining at £90K, and the Coral.co.uk Future Champions Finale Juvenile Hurdle Grade One, being run at the new enhanced value. “The existing entries published at the weights stage, for the Coral Welsh National will stand with confirmations on December 31 and declarations on January 4. “The Coral Welsh National was due to be the last televised race for the BBC. We have been in discussion with C4 and we are hopeful that they will provide terrestrial coverage of the race. “Chepstow Racecourse is very pleased to be able to rearrange this valuable fixture which is Coral’s 40th year of sponsorship and wishes to thank them for their continued support plus the BHA, Levy Board, Channel 4 and the BBC for making so many last minute changes.” All advanced tickets will be valid for the rescheduled meeting.

inspire but is worth another chance. Junior, whose first preference is Kempton, would have a serious chance if he runs. He slammed Benny Be Good at Newcastle. Cape Tribulation’s recent efforts have been over hurdles but he showed he is top capable chaser when second to Wayward Prince here last year. He’s the threat. Ballyoliver was found out by Harris Hawk at Catterick but he’s on a decent handicap mark. Going Wrong was a decent novice last term but lost his way at the end of the season. Dual Scottish Grand National winner needs further. But has place claims.

...BetVictor gave to thee, two all-in shoves! Felicitations, poker fiend! You survived the big day then? Good show! I hope you got what you wanted but, if not, there are still lots of pressies to unwrap in the Twelve Days of Christmas promo on BetVictor Poker. Now, it may well be Boxing Day but there’s no room to box clever in tonight’s “Boxing Day Carnage Freerolls” where every player is forced to move all-in every hand, regardless of starting hands or chip stacks, until a winner is declared. Each freeroll carries a $250 prize pool and registration is open to players who have played in at least one qualifying raked hand during the day prior to the start of the tournaments which kick off at 6.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m.

GIMME SOME ACTION

Here’s a turn move that can pay off big time in your Texas Hold’em games. Let’s say you are in a big tournament and things are going okay for you. You’ve got about 33,000 in tournament chips. The blinds are at 1,000/2,000 and you’re sitting in the big blind with Ten-Nine suited. The player in the cut-off, with a stack worth 28,000, raises to 6,000 and you are the only caller. Your additional 4,000 takes the pot to 13,000. The flop comes King-Six-Two and you’ve landed four cards to a Spade flush. Cagily, you both check. The turn delivers the Ace of Spades. You’ve nailed the flush, now you want to get some action. Make a smallish bet of around 4,000. The hope is that this small bet on the turn will look weak and induce your opponent to make a big re-raise. Your opponent Hollywoods for a few moments and then moves all-in. You call. He shows a pair of Kings for the “Magi set” but his three wise men fail to improve and are brought to their knees by your superstar flush. Congrats! You’ve just leapt ahead. Try this “small weak bet on the turn” strategy when you think you’ve got the winning hand and want to invite action and get a good pot going.

TAKE A SWEET BEATING IN THE BOXING DAY RING

Spit your gum shield out and step into the ring to duke it out on the Bad Beat tables on BetVictor Poker. The current Bad Beat Jackpot is absolutely HUGE (over €452,000) so you’ll want to get hit like Manny Pacquiao, in the unluckiest way possible, just when you think you must win! Nobody has bagged the BBJ since July (this has been the longest period without it being unleashed in over 6 years) and it feels like it’s ready to burst on someone like... [scans room] ...YOU! And to win it, all you’ve got to do is be unlucky (something we’ve all had a lot of practice at, right?!)

GET SHIRTY IN SHORTY

Here’s a quick tip. Make sure you put a good size bet behind high pairs when playing in a shorthanded game. The reason this is a safe investment is that players expect aggressive raising in shorthanded games where blind stealing is the order of the day. You can expect to be called a lot more often than in a full table game. This is a great opportunity for you to exploit. If you know you’re likely to be called whatever you’re holding make sure you go in there gang busters when you do have the goods. This is the route to extracting real value from your efforts in this style of poker.

Dynaste (2.00) should remain unbeaten over fences as his rivals in the Feltham are not his equal. He is currently rated 161 and those that have jumped a fence in public are in the 139-145 zone.

Improve The one that has not, Lovcen, needs to improve 12lb to come out on top. Countrywide Flame (2.35) beat Dodging Bullets fair and square in the Triumph and has gone on to beat Cinders And Ashes 12 lengths. Raya Star is about a stone behind the best hurdlers, so can be readily ruled out. Darlan has good enough form since falling at Newbury in February to make him a placepot banker. The 3-1 about my nap, LONG RUN (3.10), looks too good to be true in the William Hill King George VI Chase. A winner of five Grade One races, he loves the track, is running over his

best trip and has never finished out of the first three in 23 starts. Kauto Star may have won the King George five times but even he was not as consistent as the WaleyCohens’ French import. His former handler Guillaume Macaire says Long Run is the best he has ever trained. When second to Silviniaco Conti at Haydock, he finished in front of The Giant Bolster and I would expect him to do so again. Riverside Theatre’s three Grade One wins have all come at two and a half miles. He never got a look in when runner-up to Long Run in the King George two seasons back so his stamina is suspect. Cue Card is another running over three miles for the first time. He always gives 100 per cent but his only Grade One win came in a bumper . Kauto Stone has finished first or second in over half of his races and has an each-way chance on his defeat of First Lieutenant at Down Royal. David Pipe has runners all over the place and will be disappointed if he does

Useful KUSADASI (1.10) went off favourite last time at Uttoxeter despite having shown little in all his previous races for Pipe. He was beaten five lengths that day but is ridden by a useful 10lb claimer today, so could well get off the mark. TAKE OVER SIVOLA (2.55) put his best foot forward for once at Lingfield last time. If in the same frame of mind he should follow up in the Stradey Park Handicap Chase. TOP GAMBLE (4.00) was well backed ahead of his debut at Chepstow but could not get past O’Faolains Boy who had run at Newbury and won an Irish point-to-point. Today’s bumper looks far easier. Mark Gillard has found a winnable race for BRAVO BRAVO (2.20) who runs at Ffos Las rather than Wetherby. BOXING SHADOWS (1.40) and ABBRACCIO (2.40) should win at Wolverhampton. Both have far stronger CVs than the others to have raced. Hopefully a newbie will not beat them.

MAIGUE was not disgraced when second to the top STARFORM RIVER class Dodging Bullets at Cheltenham. A repeat makes him the clear choice. Kings Lad, who represents a yard in form, was disappointing when over 17l third of eight to Meganisi (beaten since) at Newbury. Asker landed a weak bumper last year and won twice on the Flat. This will be a big ask on his jumping debut. New Year’s Eve has top class bumper credentials; second to Champagne Fever at the Cheltenham Festival. He will be an obvious threat. Rysbrack is capable but falls short of this grade. Spirit Of Shankly failed to see out his race when third behind Karazhan at Lulow.

FLAME thrashed Cinders And Ashes at STARFORM COUNTRYWIDE Newcastle on similar ground and there is no reason why he cannot confirm the form. Darlan was found out by Cinders And Ashes at Cheltenham where did not get the best of rides (arrived all too late). He was beaten over three lengths but I expect him to reverse the form. Dodging Bullets needs to improve judged on his fourth to Countrywide Flame at Cheltenham last year. But there are reasons to suggest he has. That was only his second run over hurdles. Get Me Out Of Here appears to be a pacemaker for Darlan. Punjabi, winner of the 2009 Champion Hurdle, will not lack fitness despite his long layoff. He’s value to make the frame.

RIVER, was a decent hurdler in Ireland, can only STARFORM COOLE improve on his second to Grandioso on his chase debut at Wincanton. Grove Pride was outclassed when last of four to Bold Sir Brian at Sandown. This drop in grade should enable him to make the frame. Rajdhani Express was travelling well before falling at the third last in a contest won by Changing Times at Taunton. But he was beaten by Elenika at Huntingdon. Valmari cannot be overlooked judged on his second to Houblon Des Obeaux at Worcester. Monarch’s Way landed a weak event at Musselburgh. He has more on his plate here. The consistent Milarrow falls short of this grade.

RUN, winner of this event two season ago beating the STARFORM LONG mighty Kauto Star, will be spot on following his second to Silviniaco Conti at Haydock, with The Giant Bolster third. Unlike many of his rivals he will handle the testing ground and stay this trip. Stable companion Riverside Theatre finished 2nd to Long Run in this and looks the forecast bet. The Giant Bolster is a difficult one to weigh up. He finished 2nd in the Cheltenham Gold Cup with Long Run in 3rd. He’s worth a saver. Consistent Cue Card beat For Non Stop last year but his best came when 2nd to Sprinter Sacre. But he is not certain to stay. Grands Crus could be the surprise package after a recent breathing operation. He hacked up here last year when taking the Feltham Chase. Kauto Stone, Kauto Star’s half-brother, takes a huge step up in grade. Junior stays forever and could make the frame at a decent price.

has looked outstanding in his two chases, winning STARFORM DYNASTE as he liked. At Newbury he had Theatre Guide over 11l behind him in third. He was a top hurdler and can take this at his leisure. Hadrian’s Approach was going well before tipping up four out in a race won by Harry Topper at Newbury. He can make the frame. Lovcen faces a big ask on his chase debut despite having decent hurdle form. Molotof was found out by Rocky Creek at Doncaster. That falls short of what is required here. Poungach came good when beating Super Duty (decent winner since) at Haydock. He’s the one for the forecast.

Valid Reason has posted some fair efforts and the booking of Barry Geraghty cannot be overlooked. Quaddick Lake is up 6lb for his latest win over Ulis De Vassy at Wincanton. He cannot be ignored. Loose Chips had something in hand when beating Ski Sunday here. He looks the threat. Saint Roque, an Irish point-to-point winner, is better than he has recently shown. He cannot be overlooked. Faultless Feelings is on decent mark after some decent efforts but falls short of this grade.

LONGEST TRAVELLER Bucking The Trend (12.40 SDG) Bravo Bravo (1.10 WTH) Samstown (1.00 MAR)

295miles 291miles 284miles

Sam has had plenty of knockers but he is a fine jockey who can land the spoils on LONG RUN (3.10) on whom he won two seasons ago. He really does know this fella well and they finished second to Kauto Star in this race last year. I fancy them to go one better today.

WIZ: ARM UP FOR IT ■ by RICHARD LEWIS

SIMON WHITLOCK has turned his arm into a tattoed work of art to mark his glorious darts career.

■

TAKE TATT: Aussie ace Simon Whitlock is set to face Dave Chisnall

But there is still room left to have the biggest trophy of them all inked on it if he wins the Ladbrokes World Championship on New Year’s Day. ‘The Wizard’, 43, has produced some of the best arrows of the opening two rounds of this year’s event at the Alexandra Palace. And the 2010 runner-up only has to look at his left arm if he needs inspiration to lift the biggest title of them all. Aussie Whitlock, the No.5 seed, said: “Every year, since playing here at Ally Pally, I have had tattoos done but I went mental this year. “I just wanted a design to show what I have achieved. I designed it myself and I love it.” His arm has a picture of the runner-up trophy from three tournaments ago when Phil Taylor beat him 7-3 in the final. There are also two roulette wheels – one with his favourite numbers and the other with seven No.9s to remind him of his seven nine-darters.

Stunning There is a map of Australia too – just for another reminder of home. He was also reminded of Oz during his blistering 4-0 defeat of Colin Osborne as he soared into a third-round clash tomorrow with Dave Chisnall. Whitlock said: “It was very hot up there on the oche, it felt like I was back in Australia and I was thinking, ‘This is brilliant’. “When Barney played earlier in the day, he looked a bit uncomfortable and I don’t know if he suffered from the heat.” Raymond van Barneveld produced a stunning first-round defeat of Michael Smith, then beat Brendan Dolan 4-1 in the second. It has set up the match of round three against Gary Anderson – a game that Whitlock hopes to be keeping a close eye on. He will take on the winner of that game, on the oche after his match, if he beats Chisnall. Whitlock said: “I haven’t hit my peak yet but if I can get close to averaging 12 darts per leg, like Phil Taylor does, then that’s where I want to be.” However, he knows he cannot look beyond the next round, and added: “Chisnall is one of the best players in the world at the moment.” Chisnall, No.12 seed, has beaten Shane Tichowitsch 3-0 and Daryl Gurney 4-1 to get this far.

CAMPBELL BITES BACK ■ by PETER OAKES

DEREK CAMPBELL insists he has found his hunger again after being released by Sheffield. The Canadian star, who is chief cook and bottle washer at his own Tyneside restaurant, is on a short-term contract with Manchester after being axed by their Premier League rivals last week. And he is hoping to prove he is worth a long-term gamble when his temporary deal runs out. Campbell, 32, dropped out of the Elite League in the summer after six years in the top flight. But he accepts he should have

taken a break to cope with a mountain of family problems during his time with the Steeldogs. He said: “It was a difficult time and I probably shouldn’t have been playing. Too many things were going on in my private life and family life. “I’m still dealing with one issue but the others are pretty much behind me and I’m hungry to play again.” Campbell scored twice on his Phoenix debut last Thursday, but knows he could be out of the door again on January 6. He added: “I

signed for three weeks and I told other clubs the doors aren’t closed.” COVENTRY fear top scorer Shea Guthrie could miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury he picked up during Friday night’s defeat at Belfast. Boss Paul Thompson said: “It’s a huge blow. We’ve no idea how long he’ll be out but it’s not looking good.” THERE was no Christmas spirit as Hull went down to their sixth defeat in a row on Saturday. The Stingrays had Kurtis Dulle and Dominic Osman thrown out of the game as they lost 4-2 at home to Sheffield, who saw Jason Hewitt punished for his part in the brawl.

Many sports bosses dread their stars using the forum, but White is offering bonuses to fighters who use it in an entertaining manner. White, who has more than 2.3m followers, said: “I think when a lot of people first look at Twitter they wonder if it is serious. “After all, they see people just talking about what they’re doing all day, but there is a lot more to it than that. “It can also be very useful, so we had to give fighters a little bit more incentive to take the initiative.

JOE’S BID TO WRAP UP A DEAL

JOE VICKERY is playing for his future in Leeds’ showdown with Wakefield today.

The 23-year-old Aussie has gambled everything to try and prove himself to the Super League champions. He’s quit his home Down Under and his hopes of NRL fame in a bid to crack it with the Rhinos during a short-term trial. Leeds have refused to make him any promises, saying they’ll make a decision at the end of January. But Vickery is determined the risk will pay off – and hopes today could be the turning point.

Pressure He said: “These pre-season games are make or break, I suppose, because I want to impress. “I do not want to pressure myself too much, but there is pressure, so I am just going to have to deal with it. “Hopefully they will maybe tell me after the Boxing Day game if I’ve got a deal – that would be a good late Christmas present.” Vickery failed to make his NRL debut with either of his previous clubs, St George-Illawarra or Gold Coast Titans. And he admits he faces a battle to break into a Leeds back line that was made up entirely of England players in 2012. Leeds

I’m starting on the wing against Wakefield and might move into the centres at some point, but if I was asked to play prop, I would do it. “I’m glad we are playing a strong team in Wakefield. If Leeds are going to sign me, I want people to know I have earned my position. “If I can do well against another Super League team, I have got nothing to worry about. I want to earn a deal properly.” WIDNES take on Challenge Cup holders Warrington in the only other all-Super League Boxing Day friendly. Vikings coach Denis Betts said: “There is no such thing as a friendly.

DURHAM must stop British basketball’s fastest improving forward to stand any chance of getting one over Newcastle in Sunday’s crunch North East derby. That is the verdict of Wildcats’ Paul Elderkin after the playmaker singled out Newcastle destroyer Darius Defoe as the Eagles’ danger man. Defoe has been racking up the double doubles all season and did it again with a massive 18 points and 12 boards against Manchester last Friday. “Darius has always been a presence,” said Elderkin. “He’s a monster. He throws down the jump shots and he gets to the hoop. “He’s one of the best inside players in the league.” Defoe hit 12 points and pulled down nine boards the last time the two rivals went head to head. And he is averaging 14 points and eight rebounds per game this season. But Elderkin fears focussing on the towering Londoner throughout the BBL Trophy clash will only leave Newcastle’s other big scorers wide open. He said: “The last time we played the Eagles Joe Chapman hit 30 points. Joe got open for a lot of threes because Defoe was setting up picks for him. “That’s why he’s such a threat to every team in this league.”

But the keeper feels the record has earned Chris Hughton’s side respect and means they are no longer seen as pushovers. Bunn said: “I think a lot of teams probably saw Norwich as an easy win.

Torn “But I think those teams are starting to get a bit more worried now when they play us.” The 28-year-old has been brilliant since replacing injured England keeper John Ruddy, who was ruled out for three months by a torn thigh muscle. And Bunn sees today’s Carrow Road clash with Chelsea as another chance to add to his reputation. He added: “I’m enjoying myself and I want to make sure I stay in the team – even when John is fit.”

MAC GOES BACK FOR A BIG LIFT ■ by JEREMY CROSS

BRIAN McDERMOTT has told his Reading flops to turn back the clock to save themselves from relegation.

The Royals find themselves bottom of the table following seven straight defeats. Just one team, West Brom in 2005, have recovered from this position at Christmas to go on and beat the drop. The omens look bleak for McDermott’s men ahead of today’s visit of Swansea. But McDermott has ordered his players to recall what they did this time last season in the hope it gives them the inspiration to beat the odds again. Reading found themselves 20 points adrift of top spot in the Championship, but somehow managed to storm to the title to win promotion to the top flight. McDermott said: “My view is that if you’re 20 points off the lead last season, which we were at one point, and then go and win it, I’m not sure anyone has done that before.

Escape “It’s a decent statistic. It wasn’t at Christmas, it was before that. We were loads and loads of points behind West Ham and Southampton and still managed to win the league. So it shows what this team can do. “Sunderland won it too (the Championship) when they had lost the first five games a few years ago. West Brom have done it, so it is doable.” McDermott should be fearing the sack but instead remains convinced both he and his players have what it takes to escape relegation. He had to pick his players up off the floor in the wake of their stoppage-time defeat at Manchester City on Saturday. “We’re confident with 20 games to go, if we play like we did at Manchester City we can get results,” he said. “We’re in a results business. I’ve not had one in the last seven games, but my record in the last two-and-a-half years has been good, results wise.”

I have been out for a while but I am working hard and was pleased to get the chance. “The only thing I ever needed was the chance, and I wanted to make sure I grabbed it with both hands and hopefully that is what I did against Manchester United.”

But Jol reckons a little chat with his star striker will help the Bulgarian get back in the swing. “If things are going well then everyone will be happy with him but if things are not going well then he can be unhappy,” said Jol. “He is used to winning games at the clubs where he was before so we have to talk to him.

KEY SAINTS: Boss Nigel Adkins and keeper Kelvin Davis

NEV’S IN GOOD NICK PHIL NEVILLE is set to join the Premier League 500 club at home to Wigan today and Everton boss David Moyes believes the veteran is still a shining example.

They haven’t got a weakness. “Every year they are becoming a stronger team – they are so complete they deserve to be where they are in the table.” EVERTON have confirmed they will appeal Darron Gibson’s red card against West Ham on Saturday, meaning he is available to face Wigan.

Davis admits they have found the step up from the Championship a steep learning curve. Davis, 36, who played his 600th league game against Sunderland, said: “Give the other side half a chance and a goal goes in. It’s a harsh league. “But after those first four games we wouldn’t have thought we’d be above anyone on goal difference, so we’re in a better place.” Adkins said he would sacrifice roast turkey and mulled wine for three points at Craven Cottage.

LAMB SPURRED ON PAUL LAMBERT has warned Tottenham to expect a Boxing Day backlash after Aston Villa’s humiliation at Chelsea. Villa were smashed 8-0 by Rafa Benitez’s side to slump to the worst defeat in their top-flight history. But Lambert has been on the receiving end of heavy beatings before and insists his side will bounce back against Spurs at Villa Park.

His Villa side were also thumped 5-0 by City earlier this season. After that mauling at the Etihad Stadium, Villa put together a six-match unbeaten run – and Lambert has challenged his players to do the same again. He added: “They were beaten heavily at City and then went on that little run. “You take the criticism and you bounce back. There are too many people coming to watch us on Wednesday, so DEFIANT: Lambert we have to bounce back.”

PAINFUL VIEWING: City boss Roberto Mancini felt far from relaxed at the Stadium of Light last season

ROBERTO MANCINI returns to Sunderland today admitting he has wiped his last two trips there from his mind. Manchester City saw their title hopes suffer what could have been a fatal blow last season following a last-minute defeat at the Stadium of Light. The shock setback failed to stop the Blues going on to become champions on goal difference. But Mancini’s men suffered a lastgasp defeat on Wearside in the previous season as well.

So much so that the City boss now claims he has amnesia when it comes to contemplating another journey to the North East. The Blues can ill-afford

■ by JEREMY CROSS a hat-trick of defeats when they take on Martin O’Neill’s men needing a win to hang onto the coat-tails of leaders Manchester United. But Mancini reckons this side’s luck will have to change sometime. He said: “I’ve forgotten everything about Sunderland. We lost the last two games there in the last minute.

Attacking “Always in the last minute! It’s better that we don’t think about what happened last time. “Both games up there we have played very well, we had lots of chances to score. “But we lost both games because we were trying to win in the last second. “We were attacking and conceded on two counter-attacks. That is our mentality. If we can play like we did

last year, we have a big chance, but we know it will be a tough game.” Mancini will come face to face with Adam Johnson again, admitting he never wanted the England star to leave the Etihad Stadium. Johnson quit the champions for the Black Cats in a £7m deal last summer after running out of patience with the former Inter chief. The winger got fed-up with failing to hold down a regular place in Mancini’s side and will be desperate to have the last laugh on his former boss. But Mancini revealed he did not want to sell Johnson. “I didn’t say to him to leave,” he said. “Adam said he wanted to play always and for this reason I let him go. “For me, Adam was an important player, but I understand the situation. “He is young and he wants to play every game.”

TIMELY BOOST: O’Neill

Fingers crossed, it will be the same again. “Of course, it’s going to be difficult when you see how their attacking players link up so well and it will be a case of defending just as well this time.”

High O’Neill, who had only been in charge for one month when the Black Cats beat City, claims the noise the Stadium of Light crowd made that afternoon was as loud as anything he’d ever heard in a football ground. That victory sparked a Sunderland revival which saw them climb as high as seventh in the table at one stage and reach the FA Cup quarter-

REUNION: Adam Johnson will be up against his old boss

O’SHEA NEW CITY SHAKER JOHN O’SHEA wants Sunderland to end 2012 by recreating the magic which kicked off the year. Martin O’Neill’s side pulled off one of the shock results of the season on January 1 when an injury-time winner by South Korean striker Ji Dong-wong clinched a 1-0 win over Manchester City. Ji is out of the picture these days and won’t even make the bench for this afternoon’s clash with the champions but Republic of Ireland star O’Shea (right) believes history can repeat itself. “Everything about it was perfect on the day,” said the former Manchester United star. “We had to defend so well as a team and then in the last few minutes, we got a counter attack and scored a great goal.

finals. And O’Shea believes another win against City could have a similar effect. He said: “It gave everyone an incredible lift. Wins like that can have that sort of impact. “It would be easy for me to say that if we beat City again, the same effect will happen but you can’t predict the future. “I do know it would give us a wonderful boost.” After recent wins over Reading and Southampton, the Black Cats have pulled clear of the drop zone. And following a tough start to the season, O’Neill believes the cup is now half-full rather than half-empty. He said: “We cannot banish talk of relegation but the win at Southampton has given us a real lift and just the right time.”

JT is on his way From Back Page peppered with four-letter words. Champions League hero Drogba was the first major player to leave in the summer after being offered an unattractive one-year deal. The club have also snubbed Lampard by refusing to open contract talks, despite his current deal running out at the end of the season. Terry’s current contract runs until the end of the next season, and despite the club backing him all the way through his race-row trial and subsequent ban from the FA for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, Starsport understands Abramovich is reluctant to offer him a new deal. Terry’s advisers tested the water recently about opening talks in the new year. But it is understood they will snubbed by Chelsea’s hierarchy on the orders of Abramovich, who is determined to lower the average age of the squad and remove those who are seen to hold too much influence.

Wages Terry is currently out with a knee injury. England star Ashley Cole, who, in contrast, is not seen as an outspoken figure at the club, has been offered a new 12-month-deal, but at significantly reduced wages. He has rejected it and talks have broken down, with the England left-back set to join French giants PSG in the summer. Today could also be a key moment in the future of Lampard. Fellow midfielder John Obi Mikel is available for the trip to Norwich after completing his three-match suspension for threatening referee Mark Clattenburg. Lampard, 34, is keen to see if Rafa Benitez will continue with him in midfield or bring Mikel straight back, even though he is joining up with Nigeria for the African Nations Cup. A snub for the Carrow Road game will see him press to leave on a free in January. LA Galaxy want Lampard to replace David Beckham, while his uncle Harry Redknapp is keen to take him to QPR.

WorldMags.net Liverpool teen star’s pledge

STERLING: I’LL RULE KOP FOR MY MUM ■ by KEVIN FRANCIS

MUM’S the word for teenage Liverpool sensation Raheem Sterling as he bids to be an even bigger hit in the new year.

Sterling is hoping for his 17th start of the season in tonight’s Premier League game at Stoke after figuring as a substitute in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Fulham. The 18-year-old winger has just signed his first professional contract with the Merseysiders, taking his wages from £2,000 to £30,000 a week in a five-year deal that ended speculation he would quit and return to London. Now he is all set to become an even bigger hit among his growing army of Kop fans, saying: “I feel there is a lot more to come.” He puts much of the credit for his success down to mum Nadine, who he lives with on Merseyside. The England international admits he would be lost without her influence. He joined Liverpool from QPR two years ago and has praised his mum for ensuring he made the right decision during the protracted contract talks. He said: “She told me, ‘Don’t listen to what other people are saying, you know what you are going to do at the end of the day, so don’t let other things get into your head’.

“She also told me, ‘You are obviously happy at the football club, so just wait for the right moment to sign’. “I’ve got a good mum who always looks after me, gives me good advice and helps me to keep my head down, so that’s good. “It’s obviously good that she has moved up here with my brothers and sisters because it’s a good feeling to be with your family 24/7. “She is really inspirational in my life and I thank her for that because she helps me keep my feet on the ground.” Sterling will be hoping to give boss Brendan Rodgers his fourth league win this month and admits he takes playing advice off his mum. The Jamaican-born ace said: “My mum thinks she knows a lot about football and tries to tell me what I can do better. “For instance, she will tell me I am not getting into the box often enough. She must be right, too, because the manager says the same thing! “Personally, I don’t think I’ve started to do that enough yet, so I really need to kick on in the new year and show the fans and the club what I can do. “Yes, it’s all come quickly for me, but football is sometimes like that and so I’ll just take it in my stride and hopefully do well in the coming years.”

BOY WONDER: Raheem Sterling in action and (inset) sealing his Anfield future with Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers

RIVALS WON’T PUL OUR PANTS DOWN

TONY PULIS has promised Stoke won’t have their pants pulled down as they continue their climb up the Premier League. The Potters have the top 10 in their sights as they bid to continue their success story since promotion in 2008 with their highest-ever finish. Their ambitious targets on the pitch are matched by big plans off it, but boss Pulis (left) said: “We have a plan and it’s gradual. “It’s not one we’re going to throw loads of money at and then get caught with our pants down. “We work very hard on the training ground and we’ve got

gradually better over the years. But we are a football club that came into the Premier League after 23 years out, so we’ve had to spend a lot of money – not just on the team – but on the structure, training ground and putting the stadium back into place. “That’s taken a big hit in terms of redevelopment, car parks, the lot.

Money “We’ve spent on and off the pitch. We’re continuing at the moment. “We’ve got a new build at the training ground, it’s going to cost us a lot of money. “It’s a gradual plan which we’ve all stuck to. The Coates family are absolutely wonderful people to work for and we’ve done it together.” Stingy Stoke, who have the meanest defence in the league, host Liverpool today on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run. Pulis said: “We are hoping our fans have a belly full of turkey and turn up and then want to work it off because we will need them.”


WorldMags.net Pardew backs strop star

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

BIG CISSE IS OUT TO FLOOR FERGIE ■ by IAN MURTAGH

MANCHESTER United have been warned that Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse is in the mood to repeat his goalscoring exploits of last season.

Cisse took English football by storm following his £9m move from Wolfsburg with 13 goals in his opening 14 games. But it’s been a different story this term with the Toon hitman having found the net just four times and only twice in the Premier League. The Senegal international threw a strop when he was subbed against QPR on Saturday after another blank afternoon. But Toon chief Alan Pardew has no thoughts about taking Cisse out of the firing line at Old Trafford today. He believes the African is now a better all-round player than he was when he was banging in the goals week in, week out. And while the goals have dried up, Pardew senses the 27-year-old is about to explode again. “I confidently predict Papiss will score more goals in the second half of the season,” said Pardew.

my best games. But it has gone and it is certainly not one I will remember, but of course it does make you more determined to come back and put it right. “With football over Christmas, you have a game every few days. It means there is a big chance to really kick on if you get results. “With the position we are in at the moment it is a great opportunity to try and make that gap even bigger. “Unfortunately we couldn’t do that on Sunday, but we have two home games and hopefully we can get six points out of them.” Rooney has been in devastating form ever since manager Sir Alex Ferguson opted to play him alongside £24m summer signing Robin van Persie. They started the season with doubts about whether they could fit into the same team, with Fergie not starting them together for nine games. Van Persie scored twice in that game – a 2-1 Champions League win away to Cluj – and since then the dynamic duo have shared 18 goals in the 14 matches they have started together. Rooney said: “It was disappointing to drop points at the weekend but we mustn’t forget we are still in a good position. Would we have been happy at the start of the season to have a four-point lead at this stage? Of course.

Pressure “Even when he was scoring goals, there was a weakness in his game because he needed to improve his ball retention. “He has done that and it has taken the pressure off him to score goals.” Cisse had to wait until September 25 to break his season’s duck when he scored Newcastle’s consolation in the Capital One Cup defeat at the hands of Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. And in recent games, he has been missing the sort of chances he was burying last season. Pardew, however, blames the Toon’s injury problems for Cisse’s dry run. “He has been a victim of the lack of creativity in the team,” said the Newcastle boss, who is still without key midfielders Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye. “We are lacking a bit of creative flair for the strikers and although we are putting in plenty of crosses and the bulk of goals will come from crosses at any level, you still need that quality moment. “I can think of three or four quality passes from Cabaye that created goals last season.

Healthy

Booing “That type of pass is something we are turning to Vurnon Anita for, so it is coming back to the team.” Pardew insists he had no problem to Cisse’s reaction to being hauled off against QPR and thinks the booing which greeted his substitution was music to the striker’s ears. He said: “He loves Newcastle and the fans love him and that showed in his and their reaction. It’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing.” Newcastle have not won at Old Trafford since 1972 and were beaten 3-0 at home to United earlier this season but Pardew thinks they are over their bad spell. He added: “We have picked up, now it’s all about getting some momentum.”

TIME OF RECKONING: Holiday games are crucial, says United ace Wayne Rooney

“With two home games coming up we need to make sure we take maximum points from them. We know it’s early days and there is a long way to go, but we are in a healthy position and so we need to try and kick on.” Crucial to that effort will be the return of skipper Nemanja Vidic, who made his long-awaited return at Swansea after knee surgery. In his absence United kept just two clean sheets in 20 games. Rooney said: “It is like signing a new player – everybody else is looking at the January window and we have one of our biggest players coming back. “It was great to see him get 90 minutes. He has been out for a while and he has been working hard in the gym and at the training ground. “He will be a massive player for us between now and the end of the season. Defending has been an issue for us. He is a great defender and is a great leader for us too. “That will be important. We have a few players in the team who can lead, whether from the back or the front, and obviously he is our captain and does that.”

Harry – I’m real humbug ■ by JON WEST HARRY REDKNAPP admits it’s hard to feel festive when you are manager of QPR. The Hoops have been in the Premier League drop zone all season, have won just once and one of his players refuses to even sit next to him on the bench. Redknapp’s mood will lighten today if his side can beat West Brom at home. But ever since they lost at Newcastle on Saturday he has found it a struggle to even crack a smile at home with wife Sandra. He said: “I’m thinking football all the time, nothing else. I never switch off. Saturday night coming home for me was terrible.

Wrong “I get so low it’s scary. You think, ‘Is it right, is it worth it?’ “I can’t help it, though, it’s just what I am. I can’t be bothered with anyone, I’m just a nightmare. It’s scary, it’s wrong.” Jose Bosingwa is unlikely to play for the club again after refusing to be a sub against Fulham. Redknapp will try to sell the defender in January but knows it may be tricky as he earns £65,000 a week. A tougher task will be to persuade the “four or five” players he is convinced he needs to risk their reputations by joining QPR. He said: “They have got to take a gamble – I took a gamble. I’ve got to get people that I know. If I’m wrong I take the blame.”

Peter’s vow to strike ■ by RALPH ELLIS

PETER ODEMWINGIE is vowing to take out his anger at being dumped by Nigeria by keeping West Brom on course for a shock top-six finish. New Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi left him out of a 32-man squad before the African Nations Cup. He had chosen to play for West Brom at Liverpool rather than an international friendly. His last appearance ended in another row when it was claimed he had refused to be substituted. He said: “It is clear now that my days with the Super Eagles are over.”

Focus The silver lining is he will be home to share the joy when he becomes a dad for the first time in January. But, in the meantime, the 32-year-old plans to focus his energy on driving his club into a European qualifying place, starting with today’s trip to relegation-haunted QPR. He said: “This club is on a mission at the moment. If I am staying here for the extra games in January it could mean a lot. “I want to stay in good form and score goals to bring points to the team.”
