Roman Bednar is being Czech-ed out

It seems that Albion's very own Mr Grumpy Roman Bednar may need something to cheer him up again following his substitution sulk shortly into the second half of the defeat at Old Trafford.

But Bednar may have a reason to put a smile on his face if he continues to put in the extra yards on the biggest football stage of them all.

The Prague-born tempermental striker has one Czech Republic cap to his name, a 3-1 defeat to Serbia in August 2006 while he was still a Hearts player.

However judging by the interview requests from Czech journalists coming into Albion's media department, it appears that his the Baggies' top scorer's stock is rising back in his homeland.

And naturally if he continues to cover the back pages, airwaves and TV screens of the Czech Republic's media outlets, that certainly won't go unnoticed by their national coach Petr Rada.

What better motivation does Bednar need to scrap the sulking and start scoring again?
