Toon Target Has His Troubles

Ferdinand's car has been attacked by vandals but the defender doesn't think West Ham fans were responsible.
The Baby Bentley had a window smashed while it was parked outside his east London home and comes just a week after furious fans confronted striker Marlon Harewood following the 1-0 Premiership defeat to Watford.
Ferdinand was also to blame for the loss as he gave away the spot-kick that handed the Hornets the crucial triumph during the relegation showdown.
Ferdinand: "It happened outside my house. I normally keep my car in a locked garage but on this occasion I parked up outside my house and I went upstairs only briefly to get something.
"I must have only left it for a few minutes, if that. But when I came down the window was smashed.
"There was no indication that it was West Ham fans, I have to say. As far as I was concerned it never even occurred to me that it might be West Ham fans.

"I really don't think it was. I think it might just have been kids or something".
Another West Ham player with Newcastle links (he was offered in a swap deal for Scott Parker in January), skipper Nigel Reo-Coker, clashed with fans who criticised him at the end of the FA Cup fourth round defeat against Watford in January.
