Warning: No midgets were harmed in the making of this post.
There mustn’t be any mirrors in Stephen Hunt’s house. The Irish International resorted to childish, Cartoon Vampire-esque jibes following Eamon Dunphy’s criticism on RTE on Saturday night. Branding the pundit “a skinny little rat”, the thin-skinned Hull winger and Antironaldo wasn’t happy after he and his team-mates were slated.
Ian McParland’s inability to keep Notts County within four points of League Two leaders is the main reason for his sacking from Notts County.
Bayern Munich coach Louis Van Gaal is looking for a job as a tabloid journalist. He says Manchester United offered him a job – yesh, azh the cleaner.
Stephen Ferris isn’t happy with Paddy Power. “I saw in the paper the bookies had us at 100/1 to win the Heineken Cup. That really annoyed me.” In response to their victory over Bath and the fact Paddy couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag; those previously quoted figures for Ulster have been reduced by 50%. He shouldn’t come looking for the boss now.
In more Dutch Beer Cup news, Leinster flanker Shane Jennings took a leaf out of Alan Quinlan’s book and courtesly tried to clean some dirt out of Mick Kennedy’s eye when the pair met on Friday night. The London Irish player didn’t ‘get into the sprit of rugby’ and reported the Irishman to the authorities after the game.
You can’t buy success – unless you’re an oil rich Arab. Not content with purchasing 2010 Guineas favourite Kingsfort, Sheikh Mohammed has bought the horse that finished second to him in the National Stakes just to be on the safe side. Chabal will run in the Godolphin colours with trainer Saeed Bin Suroor after the Dewhurst. It doesn’t make much difference to the betting though.
It’s not every day we have two snippets of racing action, so today should be considered momentous. At a recent PP think-in there was talk of another politically incorrect midget advertising campaign. While ‘Midget Tossing’ was given the auld heave-ho more for its smutty connotations, some bright sparks have come with midget racing. Needless to say people who aren’t midgets are getting offended by the ‘Midget Cup’ and calling for people to be hung, drawn and quartered. Harsh.
Des Lynam takes one small step and one giant leap for Deskind. Despite some great content on the web… among other things like me, the former BBC presenter doesn’t like the internet.
How do you know when UFC has gone completely mainstream - a guest appearance on The Simpsons and, to a lesser extent, Chuck Liddell on Dancing with the Stars. Playboy centrefold Marge Simpson quickly becomes the ‘Great Wife Hope’ and opens a few cans of wupass. I’m down with the hips kids.
The Guardian pisses off Steve Bunce!! His boxing hour on Setanta has been sadly missed since the Irish broadcaster’s operation went tits up in the UK, but 1585 people are determined to bring him back to our television screens.
Klitchsko-dodger David Haye will be up against it when he faces Nikolay Valuev but not for the reasons you might suspect. “I’ve never been a big fan of the matted hair in my face. The size I am, I sort of come up to his chest and apparently the word around the campfire is that he doesn’t smell too sweet.”
Until recently, there were few golfers who could be labelled golf’s “current John Daly” but, whether it be true or not, Robert Allenby is tarnishing Anthony Kim with it. According the Australian, the young golfer crab walked his way back to his room at 4am on Sunday morning before the final round of the Presidents Cup; five hours before the pair met in the singles match. Allenby lost 5&3, that’s how bad he is. Here have some more sour grapes.
