Late entry this month for two players
1. Van Persie of Arsenal - the most hilarious air-ball moment I've seen for ages
(against Bolton in the FA Cup on Saturday) - had the whole pub in stitches, even a couple of Arsenal fans laughed...
2. Kromkamp of Liverpool - for the most pathetic dive I've seen in ages
(against Portsmouth in the FA Cup yesterday)
Apologies to Reyes!

I though it was Van Persie, not Reyes.

Arjen Robben's "I've done my bit for the team, now I'm going to take an early shower"-attitude has made it 3/5 DOTM awards for Chelsea this season... not a personal bias, I assure you... but is there a pattern emerging here or what?
Special mention goes to Van Persie for his classic fresh-air shot though
Cristiano Ronaldo came close to taking this month's coveted trophy, but didn't quite manage to capture that 'essence of donkeyness' in any one particular moment...

How about Mido? For his antics in Egypt?
It's not techincally "in" the Premiership, but he is a Premiership player!

At least I can kick something...
[/Poor-taste gag]
I've watched the replays. Riise is no closer than 6 feet away when Smith breaks his leg - it was the leg underneath him as he went to block the shot. It takes some talent to break your own leg...
Besides, no-one else has done anything remotely thick this month.

Was trying to avoid a Chelsea nomination, but I have to put this one in.
I'm sure Famine might back me up on this one too, as another intelligent scientist whom I'm sure feels he's not ugly either! This has got to be a certain vote for Donkey for all the non-ugly scientists out there!
He really does have an incredible ego that fella!
He's no Harry Redknapp, but he's not exactly God's gift to women himself!
Mind you at least he didn't suggest that there are "ugly people who are intelligent, like football managers!"
*cough* 'osser *splutter*

Yes, Lehmann is a big jessy and he stands a good chance of being this month's DOTM (and so do I apparently...BeeI'd say thats pretty darn impressive.
My vote goes to Jans Lehman for his performance against Bolton, crying like a baby at one moment, pushing over a player the next. What an ass...
)I'm looking forward to Jens Lehmann's autobiography, which surely would be called 'In Lehmann's Terms'...?

After the way Lehmann redeemed himself against Liverpool, I'd be hard pushed to vote him a Donkey. We should've beaten Arsenal about 5-0 if it wasn't for Lehmenn's heroic display, hell, he damned near kept out the strike that went in!
I have a new vote, Hednesford Town. (The entire team!) for losing 8-0 to Northwich Victoria today in the Conference North.

By majority decision, February's DOTM is Alan Smith - seems very harsh to award it to him for injuring himself, but such is life. If less people went around breaking their own legs, their would be more room in our hospitals for people who have had their legs broken by someone else... maybe Alan Smith should think about that...?!
Arjen Robben was very close to taking his second award in 6 months (after viewing the damning evidence provided by oosacker), and Jose Mourinho was also close for insulting scientists (yes, managers can be DOTM's too)..., but the Chelsea stanglehold on donkeydom had to be broken eventually... Lehmann also escapes the award - but he has very high donkey potential, and may yet feature later in the season.
Who knows what March will bring - keep the nominations coming 👍

My March nomination has to go to the England kitman who managed to give Peter Crouch a shirt with 2 different numbers on it!
A less than spectacular way to show off our new "away" kit while playing at home!

Wow - a very strong contender already! And it's only the 2nd! - Can't believe I didn't notice that in the game (I watched it in the pub with very low sound on)SmallhorsesMy March nomination has to go to the England kitman who managed to give Peter Crouch a shirt with 2 different numbers on it!

Ok, the England kitman is still my favourite for this month, but there's got to be a nomination for these two as well.
1) Pascal Chimbonda (Wigan Athletic) - Having twice been on the end of a 4-0 mauling by Man Utd this season, Wigan looked to heading for some semblance of dignity after their performance today, a 1-1 draw and a point.
Step up Monsieur Chimbonda, to score United's winner, an own goal, in injury time!
2) Sunderland - The entire team, and board of Directors. Lets face it, they're ****e. The team have amassed only 10 points, and look to be headed for breaking Sunderland's own record of only 19 points at the end of the season, the last time they were relegated. This time they're on course for even fewer!
However, the team is too good for the Championship, as McCarthy proved last season as runaway winners. Who better then, to remain in charge and help them win back their Premiership berth than McCarthy? Have a lean spending season in the Championship, clear some debts and then come back to the Premiership with some funds to spend to enable them to stay up, a la Wiggin & West Ham. No, in their wisdom, the Directors of this sinking ship have now decided to do away with their rudder! (albeit not a very good rudder in the Premiership, but a rudder nonetheless!) Now they have a directionless sinking ship! And there's only one thing to say about that! Eeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee!!
