King for a day

Footballers have managed to get themselves in the news for all the wrong reasons again this week. First Nicklas Bendtner was pictured leaving a London nightclub at 4am on Wednesday, something which goes some way to justifying Arsene Wenger's claims that some of his young stars were in for a marvellous performance that evening. Bendtner's reputation took a boost inside the club when onlookers saw him take some of his most potent shots in weeks. Amusingly whilst the ‘great' Dane has apologised, Wenger, luckily having seen footage of the action having ‘not seen it' at the time, has claimed Bendtner was set-up.
"I was angry - but he has been set up," Wenger said. "People make the story that he was drunk. He was not drunk. He did not put his trousers down, somebody did it for him and somebody was posted there with a camera."
Bendtner's late night made it Arsenal's second humiliating exit of the week, with a source in the Mail saying: "Nicklas was with a group of friends inside the club, and just seemed to want to wind down after his match. But for some reason, his belt was undone as left at 4am and his pants started to slip."
Ledley King, of course, is only fit enough for one night out a week. Tottenham insiders were said to be pleased that King had made it through the action unscathed, especially as there is still the matter of Gareth Bale's victory night out next weekend...or the weekend after...or..
King's ‘chronic knee injury' that prevents him training may well be the new metatarsal with rumours of similar injuries for Dimitar Berbatov, Robinho and Marlon King yet to be confirmed.

"Ledley King, of course, is only fit enough for one night out a week."
While this is one of the funnier things I've read this week and obviously the point of this article is to mock players behaving badly...I do think it's worth pointing out that there's a slight difference between drunken pants-down cavorting and alleged ABH.
Fair play to Bendtner - took his goal well today. Unlike Theo. Maybe he needs a night out with Nicklas.
