I've watched the video again and at nopoint did I go anywhere near Gomes.[LNB]'I didn't think I had, but I didn't want to say I hadn't touched him before looking at the whole video to make sure.[LNB]'He's obviously got something against me. It's just weird. He bringsmy name into it. He always seems to have a problem with Stoke, ourmanager and certain players. Criticism doesn't bother me, unless it's afalse accusation like this one.'[LNB] No more good life for Eidur Gudjohnsen!
