Well, for a long time we haven't had any candidates for this weekly award but, like buses, these things disappear for ages and then all turn up at once.
So at 12.44 Saturday afternoon, Fabio Capello looked like a shoe-in for this week's award for his toys-out-of-the-pram strop at the English FA. Yes, you may be irked at them overriding you, Mr Capello, but the John Terry racism row was the wrong battle to pick. You just look like a fool.
But little did we envisage quite how desperate Luis Suarez was to get in on the act and lo, it came to pass that at 12.45, the Uruguayan's idiotic refusal to shake Patrice Evra's (let us remind ourselves, the VICTIM of Suarez's racist abuse, not the perpetrator) hand, fast-tracked him into Plank of the Week top spot.
With a simple handshake, the whole issue could have been put to bed and there would surely have been no half-time and full-time scuffles at Old trafford. Kenny Dalglish, in a misguided attempt to remain loyal to a player who deserves no support, would also not have isolated himself as the only person not to be disgusted by the player's behaviour.
Luis Suarez, you PLANK.
