The winner this week looked all set for second place until he went and opened his mouth again yesterday to bring about another mass of nominations. 
It is of course Craig Hignett, currently on loan at
The one problem with this is the fact that you have to go and win or you make yourself look pretty stupid. You make yourself look even more stupid if you go and get yourself sent off during the first half with your side already a couple of goals behind especially when it is in response to an offside decision that was never in question.
Hignett let his temporary club down badly last week with his behaviour and received not an ounce of sympathy from his manager Gary McAllister who gave the impression that he was as disgusted with his loan player as the
But that’s not all for Hignett – he won’t let the matter drop. Yesterday he claimed that had he stayed on the pitch he would have scored at least two goals because the

We also received a staggering number of nominations for Mark Bosnich, in fact enough to win this week’s award, following news that he had failed a drugs test.
