Sting Operation in Brazilian League Game
There was a buzz around the Moisés Lucarelli stadium on Saturday leading upto the game between hosts Ponte Preta and Atletico Sorocaba. But it was not due to fans’ excitement building prior to the São Paulo league encounter.
Rather, a swarm of bees had taken it upon themselves to attach themselves to one of the crossbars.
Kick-off was delayed as exterminators hurridly attemped to dispose of the bees by using a bin bag and a makeshift flamethrower.
Ponte Preta went on to win the match 2-1 following the fifteen minute long fiasco.
Football Circus attempted to contact Ponte Preta for comment on the incident, however we were advised to mind our own beeswax.
Wolves Keeper Left Howling
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Nigerian goalkeeper Carl Ikeme will miss the duration of the season following a half time fit of rage.
Ikeme horribly miscontrolled a back pass from defender David Davis during the first half of his side’s 2-1 victory at home to Bristol City. The ball subsequently rolled into his net, giving City a 1-0 half time lead.
Manager Dean Saunders let his feelings about the matter be known in the dressing room, causing Ikeme to punch the tactics board in frustration.
Ikeme’s actions have left him with a broken hand and Wolves now face a goalkeeping crisis going into their final games, with Wayne Hennessey also out through injury.

You may recall the last Football Circus blog, wherein we highlighted Nicklas Bendtner’s recent woes - “Loan club Juventus have announced that they have not sold a single shirt bearing his name since his arrival at the start of the season”.
Talksport Radio in the UK also picked up on this news and took it upon themselves to order a ‘Bendtner’ shirt directly from the Juventus club shop. The prank call can be heard at the following link:
