Lita blasts off at El K

Reading charm merchant Leroy Lita is still upset about the three-match ban he picked up for head butting Addicks defender Talal El Karkouri. The Reading striker, dealt with as a result of video evidence by the FA after last week's goalless draw at The Valley, was still fuming as he sat out Saturday's win over Fulham. He angrily accused El Karkouri of cheating and insisted the FA had punished the wrong man. Lita said: 'My hair must have hurt him and I haven't even got any hair! I didn't touch him. He went down like an idiot and it was cheating. I would love to see the FA do something about diving cheats.'

Indeed.
