Footballers are a daft bunch. If they’re not mixing prescription medication with alcohol, they’re associating with racist idiots.
Despite the two stories in the links above, proving strong contenders for ‘Stupid Footballer of the Week’, another “professional” managed to romp home with the award.
Step forward Wayne Hennessey…
The above photo was taken at a meal, attended by Wayne and his Crystal Palace teammates, following their victory over Grimsby in the FA Cup.
What does it look like the young Mr Hennessey is doing in the photo? Some might say he is performing an inappropriate salute, similar to that of Adolf Hitler. Others, such as Wayne himself, claim the photograph shows him trying to raise his voice…
Did Twitter believe him? What do you think?
Out of the 2,000+ replies, here are some of my favourites…
Cardiff City boss, Neil Warnock, is not happy. Just for a change…
You could say that Neil found the whole thing a disgrace…
I’m starting to think that Neil should have asked his wife, Sharon, for one of these for Christmas…
With Santa not due down our chimneys again for almost 12 months, I thought I would help Warnock out, by giving him a few alternatives to his favourite word…
- dishonor
- ignominy
- shame
- humiliation
- reproach
- discredit
- odium
- degradation
And just in case he has forgotten the meaning of the word…
disgrace
/dɪsˈɡreɪs/
noun
noun: disgrace
- a person or thing regarded as shameful and unacceptable.
“it was a disgrace when Neil Warnock swapped Luciano Becchio for Steve Morison, while he was manager of Leeds United”
Channel Five ran a TV show recently – Britain’s Favourite Chocolate. I know, I know – the term ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’, comes to mind! Still, I’ll let the television station off. After all, they do show the excellent Yorkshire Vet, as well as Leeds games, when they were in the UEFA Cup – almost 20 years ago!
Unfortunately, Claire and I didn’t stay up long enough to find out which piece of confectionery won, so I regrettably won’t be able to tell you who was crowned victorious.
Instead, I have comprised my own Top 5 chocolate bars/products…
- Crunchie
- Creme Egg
- Mint Aero
- Double Decker
- Maltesers
Next week on Channel Five, Britain’s Favourite Flavour Toothpaste.
I’m rather partial to Aquafresh. It’s stripey!
