There he was, chilling out at home last Monday afternoon, taking it easy, preparing himself for that night's big game against Crewe, when a win was vital to West Brom's hopes of making the Division One play-offs. While Fabian de Freitas was getting himself into the right frame of mind for the game his girlfriend was chatting on the phone to a friend. A lengthy chat it was too. How do we know this? Because West Brom were frantically trying to phone the Dutch striker to tell him kick-off was at 3.0, and not 7.45 as he thought. "We finally got through at 2.20 but by then the team sheet was in," said manager Denis Smith. "I am not happy to say the least." West Brom lost 5-1 and Fabian was fined. Blush.
