So the season is over and now is the time to look back on what has been a frantic, exciting and sometimes amusing nine months of football. Here are my top five moments of the season that brought a smile to my face.

5) Hiddink and Abramovich dance-off
Popular boss Guus Hiddink had already given us a brief hint of his dancing skills at his final league game at Stamford Bridge when he gave a little jig on the touchline. But fresh from his FA Cup victory over Everton Hiddink went all the way and, complete with huge cigar, gave us some sort of Russian/African fusion dance alongside Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. It was the sort of moment that makes us wish Hiddink was sticking around in the Premier League for longer.

4) Phil Brown sings
After guiding Hull to Premier League safety, despite only winning one of their last 21 games, Phil Brown decides to celebrate by grabbing a microphone and leading the crowd in a sing-song from the centre circle. Memories of Delia Smith spring to mind…..

3) ITV’s Tic-Tac moment
After broadcasting 118 minutes of turgid, yet frantic, football between Everton and Liverpool an error in the ITV machine due to the match going to extra time meant that some viewers were treated to a Tic-Tac advert, only to return to the action as the Everton players celebrated their last minute winner. Cue a rather embarrassed Steve Rider apologising for the cock-up and a rather pleased confectionary manufacturer for a massive PR stunt they didn’t even have to pay for.

2) Phil Brown…again
If Hull had obeyed the relegation odds at the start of the season and gone down many people would have pointed to Boxing Day as a turning point. Brown, incandescent with rage at his team’s limp first-half performance at Man City, decided to conduct his half time team-talk on the pitch, much to the amusement of the crowd. It clearly didn’t work, with just the solitary win throughout the rest of the season, but it remains one of the highlights in a memorable season for the Tigers.

1) Joe Kinnear’s spell at Newcastle
In a season that can only be described as disastrous for Newcastle the infamous choice by owner Mike Ashley to appoint old school boss Joe Kinnear was one of a number of decisions that put the Magpies in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. There was, of course, the infamous rant in Kinnear’s opening press conference when he swore 52 times in only five minutes – hardly a way of endearing yourself to the press and convincing them you belong in the modern era of football. He then upset midfielder Charles
N’Zogbia, calling him Charles ’Insomnia’ in a post-mach interview. N’Zogbia, so incensed, promptly asked for a transfer – though the words ‘rat’ and ’sinking ship’ come to mind. Sadly Kinnear’s much publicised health problems came to the surface and he was forced to take time off in February. Ironically enough though out of the four managerial reigns at the club this season Kinnear had the best record, and his blunt and honest approach endeared him to many people in these days of media-savvy bosses giving stock responses to journalists’ questions. Get well soon Joe!
