I must have missed this at the time, but it popped up when I was looking for something else: I wonder how many other Premier League players would do something like that?
Jamie O'Hara in the news again for all the wrong reasons... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39611754
He has now been fined 2 weeks wages for his actions. Even though he is now playing in non-league, apparently this fine is £20k. He really has lost it.
Did not know Monaco had such a young team too (thanks, Brad ) . Hopefully they won't be too asset-stripped in the some (they could be Ligue / CL double winners etc) .
Chris Hughton spoke to some of the staff at Brighton after their promotion and he had this to say: "It's going to be a wonderful experience." "I'm just hoping that our first game is at the Amex, preferably against Tottenham." "Hopefully that will be the winners of the Championship against the winners of the Premier League." Spot on.
I was going to post shouldn't Chrissy be on this article for his efforts with Brighton, but he has beat me to to it. Thanks for the kind words, Chrissy (the Academy loanees are in the post) .
Big goal for Tom Carroll and Swansea, though it took a slight deflection : Not such a big goal for Charlie Daniels and Bournemouth, though a nice bit of skill: https://my.mixtape.moe/izkamg.mp4
Former Spur Danny Murphy is commentating on our FA Cup semi. He is clearly still upset that we sold him all those years ago.
Michael Brown has been made permanent manager of Port Vale after being caretaker for a while. Nice to see them sticking by him as they have just been relegated. I hope it works out for him, because his hard man image on the pitch hides the fact he's a very nice guy.
I know it's been mentioned elsewhere but I genuinely hope Aaron Lennon gets the help he needs and is well soon. He was a key player in us moving from being dross until 2004 into being top 4 challengers from 2005-06 onwards. He scored the winner in our first win in 72 yrs(!) against Chelsea at the Lane in 06...that magnificent equaliser in the 4 all v Arsenal in 2008...ran himself into the ground in the 2008 cup final win over Chelsea but his best game was the 9-1 win over Wigan ... 1 goal and 5 assists! As much as a legend as Michael Dawson in my eyes.
And although the clip's **** quality, this will always be one of my favourite Lennon moments: Really grafted his arse off all night long, as usual, then made a great run and put it on a plate for Crouch. Superb. And the Italian commentary, because it's still funny:
Good news for Ryan Mason, who has returned to Hull's training ground to continue his rehabilitation: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39825536 Good luck to him and I hope we get to see him playing again next season.
Please keep up PNP, I posted the Milan clip (better version lol) on the BN thread 3 days ago Although appreciate the commentary clip - that's classic!!
Periculo, ooh, periculo, aah! No idea what he's talking about, but it cracks me up every time. I think that we can all relate to what he was going through, though.
