"Big Sam in Barton bust-up" cries the back page of the Daily Mirror today in revealing that Joey Barton and his Newcastle manager had a "massive bust-up" hours before the fight that landed the player in jail.
The implication, made by Chief Sports Writer Oliver Holt, is that the row was the catalyst for Barton's Boxing Day thrash round Liverpool and subsequent arrest.
No sources quoted, not even the ubiquitous one "close to the club", which suggests it may be true.
We can blame the newspaper's production staff, then, for cocking-up Olly's mega scoop with the sub-head that suggested the pair had a huge row before LATE-NIGHT Arrest.
Six am is early morning where I live.
