Midfield man Kalifa Cisse reckons Jimmy Kebe will finally pay up on their goalscoring bet before Christmas!

Cisse and Kebe are good friends, and the winger said to Kalifa in the summer that whoever scores first is owed £1,000 by the other - as revealed in our official matchday programme for the Southampton game.

Cisse notched way back in September when he scored at Wolves, but he's still waiting for his money!

Kalifa said, "I think he will pay, he said to me I will get it before Christmas, we will have to see what happens now!

"I've got four goals now and the one on Monday was from a good pass from Jimmy, it was nice.

"The manager has been telling me to wait at the edge of the box, if I get forward then I should stay at the edge and sometimes I get lucky there.

"For me things have been good, it's good to play regularly, it's better for the fitness to stay in the team.

"Monday was good for the team, after going 1-0 down we scored quickly and had good control of the game."

Cisse took his tally to four with a nice side-footed effort on Monday, calmly placing home after a team move.

It was his first ever goal at Madejski Stadium, having scored at Wolves, Bristol City and Sheffield United this season, as well as at Tottenham in the last campaign.
