With no Premier League to football fans' weary minds, the Championship clash between Brighton and Wolves is the next best thing. As far as viewing figures go we'd hazard a guess that Sky will do quite well as this part of the world crawls out bed with sport in mind in the hope that it may dull the pain of last night's exertions. It's this or the darts.
You may have thought the crowd at the Ally Pally would have been the most likely to make you sick what with the propensity to almost be able to smell the drink through the TV screen but no, it was actually Man United loanee James Wilson who had half the viewership holding back the urge to follow him in some kind of New Years Day solidarity movement.
As you would expect given the day that's in it, the poor chap has been well and truly taken to town (for want of a better phrase). And when we say this is a very small selection of this same joke, we do mean very small.

New Years Day and the camera would have to pan to him just as he threw up on the pitch. Rotten luck, but in all seriousness, he apparently hasn't been feeling well for a few days so fair play to him for powering through.
