Paper Talk: Headline hairdos, sinning Saints, Wayne's woes and space-age City Rooney's groin and Huddlestone's hair are making headlines. Well his hair that is... Hull City's Tom Huddlestone has finally chopped his long locks for charity after a decision he wouldn't make a cut until he scored his next goal. HEADLINE-making hairdos, sinning Saints, Wayne's woes and Sergio's space-age remedy. This could only be Paper Talk. Not since the heady days of David Beckham has the Premier League been so obsessed with one man's hairdo. After more than two years without a trim, Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone has finally got the snip. The England hopeful made a vow in 2011 not to cut his hair until he scored a goal - but probably didn't expect that to be 55 games later. Following his goal in the Tigers' 6-0 rout of Fulham, Huddlestone called in a local barber, raising more than $66,000 for charity Cancer Research. "I am just relieved to be finally getting rid of it," he told the Daily Mail. I had a couple of requests on Twitter for a Mr T Mohican but have decided not to go as drastic as that. EPL Midweek Review (2/1/14) Re-live all the action from the English Premier League. You know things are going badly when the referee starts to get the blame for results (*ahem, we're looking at you Moyes ...) so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that Southampton have taken the unusual step of demanding that EPL ref Mark Clattenburg does not take charge of any of their games. The Saints, currently on a run of just two wins in their last 10 games, have accused Clattenburg of 'abusing and insulting' their captain, England midfielder Adam Lallana. Details of the incident have not been released but Lallana appealed for a penalty during the Saints recent 2-1 loss to Everton and Clattenburg, who has a reputation for being unconventional - last season he was accused by Chelsea of racially abusing midfielder John Mikel Obi - reportedly spoke to the midfielder 'in a manner that is not what you might expect of one of the game's top officials'. Using the match officials as a scapegoat for failure is an old trick - but actively calling for an investigation suggests this could be a bit more serious than the man with the whistle going for an eye test. Wayne Rooney has a problem. It is his groin. And because he just can't stop using it, David Moyes is so stressed he may even undo his special matchday waistcoat. With Robin van Persie still struggling to get past a thigh injury, now Rooney's groin is on Moyes's mind - just picture that, if you will - United's resources are starting to look thin, which is remarkable situation for Old Trafford and raising yet more questions about how active United will be in the transfer window. For his part, Moyes must make do for now. Asked if resting Rooney was an option, the Utd boss replied: "If I could, I would. He has missed a couple of games with his groin and may well miss some more in the games coming up. Meanwhile, the Theatre of Dreams has been witness to a large amount of play-acting this season, with United's teen star Adnan Januzaj jumped theatrically above teammate Ashley Young to become the second most booked player for simulation in Premier League history. Januzaj's bookings have ensured Moyes' side top the bookings simulation table for this season with a total of four, with Young having been shown yellow for attempting to win a penalty against Crystal Palace back in September. Januzaj and Young share second spot with a number of big names, including Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez. But topping this list? The world's most expensive player Gareth Bale. Manuel Pellegrini, Sergio Aguero and Star Trek villain Khan. But which is which? Is it football or science fiction? Is it Etihad Stadium or the starship Enterprise? Is Manuel Pellegrini really mulleted Star Trek villain Khan? These are just some of the questions racing through our mind as we consider City striker Sergio Aguero using an anti-gravity treadmill in a bid to regain his fitness ahead of schedule. The device, which works by pumping air into a chamber to counter the weight effect of gravity, allows athletes to train while minimising the stress on their body. Best way to start 2014! @MCFC wins and I'm recovering at full pace. How did you start your year?" the Argentine said on Twitter. To be honest, we were probably feeling the effects of gravity a little too much. John Terry is hardly the most popular player in the Premier League but even he can't be responsible for the civil unrest in the Ukraine ... Can he? Cardiff City have officially unveiled Ole Gunnar Solksjaer as their new manager, replacing Malky MacKay. The former Soviet state is currently in a period of political turmoil and embattled president Viktor Yanukovych recently posted a speech listing his problems, one of which is a disallowed goal by Ukraine in a 2012 euro Cup match against England, which Terry cleared off the line. Even for John Terry that's a bit much. But then again ... Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant has slammed Nicolas Anelka as a great waste of talent. Grant, who coached the Frenchman during his stint with the Blues in 2008, said Anelka was gifted but lacked the hunger to be as good as he could have been. "Anelka is maybe the biggest talent I have ever seen," Grant said. He's got everything - he's quick, can beat players and score goals. But he lacks the most ­important thing a sportsman needs - the passion to win, passion to do well, passion to succeed and passion to push himself to be better and better. Two Stockport Country fans have been left a note advising them to address their personal hygiene, saying they are ruining games for other fans. The Mirror reports a letter was left taped to a seat at the team's Edgeley Park ground, which tells "the two guys in black leather jackets" that "one or both of you stinks and it is ruining the experience of those around you. The missive goes on: "Many of us are season ticket holders and it is very unfair that we have to spend the best part of two hours every game with a foul smell like this around us. Please either have a good wash and change your clothes or go and sit elsewhere. Thanks. And yes, it is that bad. West Ham have fined captain Kevin Nolan two weeks wages for receiving his second red card in just three weeks. Nolan, who now faces a four-match ban, was sent off during the defeat at Fulham on New Year's Day, following his red for a lunge on Jordan Henderson in the loss to Liverpool. A 20-year-old striker has upstaged Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic by scoring the winner in a mid-season friendly between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Jese, who has come up through the Madrid youth system, scored the only goal of the game in the 19th minute of the exhibition match played in Dohar. Stoke manager Mark Hughes has been fined $14,000 by the FA for improper conduct, after he was sent to the stands for arguing with referee Martin Atkinson during his team's Boxing Day loss to Newcastle. Aston Villa's attacking woes continue with the news that striker Libor Kozak has been ruled out for the rest of the season after he broke his leg during training. The $20m Czech Republic international has scored four goals in 15 appearances for Villa this season.
