Donkey Of The Month Awards

[Famine]

Ooooh, strong contenders here...

Paul Robinson - for killing England's (very slim) chances at the World Cup by injuring all the outfield players.
England Kit Man - for dyscalculia.
Glen Johnson - for forgetting his passport to the Nou Camp.
Pascal Chimbonda - for scoring injury time winner, for the other side.
The Sunderland board - for steadying the ship by firing the manager. When they're already relegated. Well... not already, but they need snookers.

Are we allowed only one donkey, or can we have a beachful?

My word!
This is starting to look like Blackpool on an only slightly overcast day!

 

[Smallhorses]

This is incredible, 6 nominations already, and we're only 7 days into the month!

Werder Bremen keeper Tim Wiese made an awful error with two minutes left to gift Juve victory on the away-goals rule.
The Italian giants were on the verge of a shock exit when Wiese dropped the ball at Emerson's feet and the Brazilian stroked home.

All this, and wearing a pink goalkeeping jersey have to put him in contention!

Great stuff

They should all be winners..

I'm a big Chelsea fan, but my vote goes to Jose Mourinho, because of his comment after the Barcelona match:

We were the better team again

Yeah, right. That was possibly the worst match I've seen Chelsea play in a long time.

Oh, and has anybody else had to fight back the urge to put Ruud Van Nistelrooy up for contention?

[El Gigante]

Uncanny likenesses there

I saw that on BBC Breakfast this morning

It was absolutely amazing, yet completely terrible aswell.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

I'll nominate Peter Ravage from Newcastle for having one of the worst games ever, giving the ball to Wayne Rooney to score, and being at the fore-front of both goals for Manchester United, whilst picking up a yellow card and not getting anything right the whole game.

I could also nominate Wayne Rooney for missing an easy, easy goal after dodging Shay Given and having practically an open goal in front of him.

 

[El Gigante]

Yeah, Ramage played a great pass to set up Rooney's goal. Quality. Gerrard did the same for Liverpool today as well, to set up Henry.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

Beat me to it.

In which case, I'd also like to nominate Gerrard for providing such a cutting pass to one of the best players in the world to score the late winner ... for the other team.

 

[DQuaN]

I was going to mention that!

And a special thumbs up award for Wayne Rooney. He smashed a cracking shot from outside the area, which caught Gary Neville square in the face and floored him! Good job Wayne, just hit it harder next time!

 

[El Gigante]

Yeah i almost wet myself when that happened.

 

[ExigeEvan]

I'm gonna say Gerrard for now unless someone gets me vid of teh Rooney-Neville incident

 

[Touring Mars]

There will almost certainly be atleast two winners this month, since the 'Donkey Dream Team' requires atleast 1 representative for each position

 

[Famine]

Thomas Sorensen, Aston Villa keeper, managed to gift Blackburn a goal by putting the ball right on Andy Todd's foot. He's trying to edge into Donkeydom...

That was awesome.

My vote goes to Gerrard though, that was just horrible to witness for a Liverpool fan like myself..

 

[Dave A]

Gerrard, possibly, there was a good number of bad mistakes over the weekend though but Gerrard's stood out, possibly because of how much I wanted Arsenal to win that match. I laughed out loud when I saw Gerrard give Henry the ball, then cheered ecstatically when it went in, I hate one club more than Arsenal and Chelsea, can you guess what it is. I do hate arsenal though. Normally I'd put Peter Crouch as the DOTM every month, if anything for just how gormless the guy looks, and I think he's a lanky waste of space on a pitch...

Couldn't agree more, apart from the Chelsea bits obviously.

 

[Dave A]

I'd expect you to disagree with that .

 

[El Gigante]

The weirdest part is that i don't hate Arsenal either

Can't stand liverpool though

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

Thank god someone finally agrees with me. Every time I tell anyone that I think Peter Crouch is horribly, horribly overrated, and a waste of pitch-space, I get told off for thinking so.

Can we put Rafa Benitez into Donkey Of The Year contention just for keeping him in the starting line-up?

Oh, and I like both Arsenal and Liverpool, though Liverpool are becoming increasingly frustrating to watch. Obviously, I like Chelsea, too. However, I've never liked Manchester United until recently. I don't think there's a team I really dislike in the premiership, except for West Brom, and maybe Bolton.

 

[Smallhorses]

I'd have to agree with the Rafa Benitez nomination, even as a Liverpool fan, but not for keeping Crouch in the starting 11.

Crouch and Cisse made quite a good partnership, even if Crouch can't score, he created plenty of chances for Cisse to put away, provided Cisse is played as an out-and-out striker.

What Rafa deserves the nomination for, is his insistence on playing Fernando Donkeyentes who is almost guaranteed to miss anything Crouch sets up for him, and worse than this is the fact that because Rafa insists on playing him, his top scoring striker (Cisse) is forced into playing a right wing position which he doesn't like, and doesn't suit him, or dropped to the subs bench!

Morientes couldn't score in a brothel even if he went in wearing a jacket made of fifty pound notes!

 

[El Gigante]

True, but i don't think any of Liverpools strikers are worth raving about. They are all crap. Morientes and Cisse never score, Crouch can't do anything and then you have robbie fowler. Hmmmm.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Can I please nominate Rio Ferdinand for yet another amazing example of the supreme intelect of this astounding centre forward.

Pwned!

 

[El Gigante]

He is really stupid.

"Rio,, why did you not attend the drug test?"

"I forgot"

 

[Famine]

I'd like to nominate El Gigante for March Donkey of the Month...

Later that same day:

Liverpool 5 - 1 Fulham
Scorers:
Robbie Fowler 1 - 0
Collins John 1 - 1
Michael Brown (og) 2 - 1
Fernando Morientes 3 - 1
Peter Crouch 4 - 1
Stephen Warnock 5 - 1

 

[El Gigante]

Later that same day:

I take it all back

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

Boumsong.

I shouldn't really have to explain. Basically the reason why all three Liverpool goals went in, especially Crouch's and Cissé's. Couldn't clear a very, very easy ball, and in the process managed to give away a penalty just when Newcastle might have had a chance to equalise and get back into the match. Then, proceeded to take three years getting off the ground. Despite all of that, he still had a really, really bad game.

Maybe Raymond Domanech could get an international Donkey Of The Year for still selecting him for the French side?

 

[Lee]

Normally I'd put Peter Crouch as the DOTM every month, if anything for just how gormless the guy looks.

I think the 2 are related. "Darth Lanky"
