Man City fans urge Villa to sign up a pigeon
With Aston Villa rooted to the foot of the table, and being on the receiving end of another drubbing at the Eithad, some Manchester City fans have stepped in with a recruitment idea that could save the beleaguered Midlands club.
4-0 down and starring down the barrel of yet another defeat, a pigeon went through his stretches before making his way on to the pitch. Man City fans, clearly alarmed with the obvious talent the pigeon possessed, dished out some ridicule by chanting “You fat pigeon” before giving their full endorsement by insisting Villa sign him up.
Villa are said to be monitoring the situation vey closely, and are likely to ‘swoop’ in imminently.
Could Villa’s season take ‘flight’ with this signing. Make your own mind up by watching the video below.

Ref leaves Accrington Stanley fuming with the timing of his half time whistle
Referees, in general come in for probably way more abuse than they deserve. However, sometimes, you have to think that some of them might just be a little bit on the masochistic side, and are bringing it on themselves.
This can be the only explantation for ref Dean Whitestone when he showed some questionable timing during Accrington Stanley’s League Two clash with AFC Wimbledon. Just as an Accrington player was pulling the trigger to give his side the lead, Whitestone, obviously in a rush to get to his half time oranges, blasted his whistle to mark the end of the first half. Not before the strike, not after the strike, but right as the ball is flying into the back of the net.
Predictably, and with reason, the Accrington players crowded around the ref to vent their frustration. Presumably, they would have confronted him again at full time after the disallowed goal cost Accrington the win with the game ending 0-0.
Watch the refs impeccable timing below.

Fan footage of Cristiano Ronaldo’s cracking free kick vs Celta
A rampant Cristiano Ronaldo helped himself to a rather greedy 4 goal haul as Real Madrid hammered Celta Vigo 7-1 at the Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon.
Ronaldo’s first goal was a screamer from distance, which was followed up by a superb free kick that you can see in the footage below.

North London derby ‘kicks off’ early as Spurs & Arsenal fans clash
It all got a bit hairy outside White Hart Lane ahead of the North London derby on Saturday morning as Spurs and Arsenal fans had a bit of rumble.
It may be 2016, but grown up men are still feeling the urge to knock lumps out of each other to honour the 11 millionaires who chase a ball about in their teams colours.
You’d think, with the high chances of being captured on a phone and uploaded to the interwebs people might be put off from practicing their newly learned MMA moves. But, as you can see in the footage below they’re more than willing.
