The e-mails have been arriving thick and fast after we covered the story on Steven Taylor, who said he wanted Newcastle to be "hated" like Bolton Wanderers. Them Trotters o'er in Bolton didn't like it one little bit.
As if that was bad ... Djibril Cisse says he snubbed Bolton because he believes they are in the 'third level' of English football.
The France striker claims he had offers from Bolton and Atletico Madrid.
But he admitted the prospect of Champions League football at his home-town club was too good to turn down.
"The situation was clear with
Liverpool - they didn't want me to stay and I wasn't going to force them to keep me," he said.
"For me, it was Marseille or nothing. People wanted to send me to Bolton, but I said no.
"To go to a club in the third level of the English (Premier League), that doesn't interest me.
"Here I have less money, but I have the Champions League. Some clubs were offering not far off double the salary but I am from Marseille and I have always supported this club."
Ah well ... them Trotters will be venting their anger again. We've already buttoned down the hatches.
