For fuck's sake, football

I mean, okay, they are only allegations and what have you, but the broader question applies to the entire circus surrounding football as regards the possibility for media inflation even being present in the first place. Why is this the season that the scandal has exploded, even if the scandal be unfounded?

leicester city are going down to the coke-a-cola league anyway, it will swill down well after a big bowl of walkers crisps.

this season recap we have had sex "roasting" in London, Stan Doggy-more with Car-Sex with Strangers, whatever next?

New "it's the only way Leicester will score" answers

or not, as the case may be

sorry...(clears throat).."it's the only way Leicester'll score.."

I went to school with Paul Dick0v and he was the first person I knew to put a finger in a girl's fanny. In fact, I had never heard of such a custom before.

There's a potentially explosive book to be written about the sexual culture of Premiership footballers. Are group sex and roastings really that common?

This is horrible, anyway. I feel saddened that Steffen Freund is even associated with this.

Yeah, I saw chants developing from that.

Matt, this stuff is VERY common. According to Ed's sister (who is pals with guys on the team she supports and has been a prosecution witness against someone from a team she does not support who glassed a bouncer) in 99 per cent of all cases the feeling is that boys will be boys and that's why God made expensive lawyers. She has seen people who deserved to go inside, with loads of evidence against them, get off purely because they threw money at the problem. Most of the footballers also think the girls who meet them at clubs are, to a woman, opportunists with Max Clifford on their speed dial. Misogyny plus a 'money talks, bullshit walks' attitude gives these players an enormous sense of entitlement that agents and coaching staff and hangers-on do little to counteract.

Tony Cascarino on some of the more moronic members of the footballing 'profession':

1. Jason McAteer once telephoned the police because he had locked his keys in his car. On arrival, the policeman asked him to get a hanger. McAteer returned from the dressing-room with a wooden hanger.

Another time, he was sitting at a restaurant with Neil Ruddock, when the waiter asked if he wanted the pizza in eight or 16 slices? 'Eight will do, I can't eat 16,' he replied.

2. A player informed me that he missed his turn-off on the M25 and had to go all the way round again. I asked why he didn't just turn round at the next junction. He said he hadn't realised that cars can go in both directions around the motorway. 'I thought that was another road,' he said.

3. Mike England, the former Wales manager, was enthusing at Mickey Thomas whipping in free kicks into the goal in training. 'DK son, DK Mickey,' England shouted. Thomas excelled himself with one, and England yelled: 'DK Mickey, absolutely superb, son. DK. Different class . . .' On another occasion, England was chastising the Wales players after a heavy defeat.

'You lot are an absolute disgrace,' he raged in the dressing-room. 'I guarantee, you lot will be thinking about tonight. Putting on your nice shirts, trousers and shoes and ending up in some disco. That's what's wrong with you.' England then wandered over to a table and said: 'By the way, here are some free tickets for a nightclub, if anyone is interested.'

4. Travelling for hours by coach on a match day wasn't much fun, so we would stock up with crisps, chocolate, fizzy drinks. The grub would be strewn on a table and as I grabbed the last Penguin bar, Frank Sinclair said: 'Oh, I love those green ones.' Bemused, I replied that they are all the same. 'Nah they aren't, the green ones are the best,' he said.

Add money, add being told from the age of 10 that's you're a brilliant genius of a player and cosseted, add enough people who will do your every whim, and bob's yer uncle.
