    Neymar draws another yellow.

    At least this one is warranted.

    You can't be serious....even regarding it as the joke it is it's still almost offensive to anyone who actually is a fan of statistics.


    Couple of things

    A: The survey clearly suffers from an absurd sample size bias. All of the smaller clubs have less members. It is not comparing a similar amount of fans, but rather 4500 members period. I wouldn't be surprised if the QPR numbers for example were among 5-10 people.

    B: The premise is blatantly incorrect. If claims to be a probability of a fan to cheat but it is nothing more than an average of a huge collection of times cheated that is not resistant to outliers.
    If someone cheats 100 times in year that doesn't make them more likely to cheat as opposed to not cheating. It just means they cheat often when they do.

    C: Sample bias, the survey is polling from a site about extramarital fairs....ergo the goal of all the members is to cheat. It is, thus a widely inaccurate representation of general populace.



    Hell using this spin you may as well Chelsea fans are more likely to be more appealing to women since they are more successful than the others at the common goal of cheating.

    Sunderland have the most amount of fans (0.48 % of their fan base) that have actually shat on someone else's chest.

    The last Scottish guy that moved to Canada ended up as a famous singer in a Canadian band.

    My comment about Chelski was just for a laugh because I don't like Chelski. I've no interest in that survey. It's all nonsense anyway.

    The fire captain of my local firehouse is a big Chelsea fanatic. He's from Watford.

    I have a friend who is a plastic Chelsea fan. He's hardcore Catholic and half Mexican. I told him he's in for a nice welcome at the Bridge.

    And now there's a national emergency in England. Regional dialects are disappearing.

    Vhisky and Silent Neet,

    This is yer last shoot oot before Ah havetae select ma new strike force... which, on previous selection quality ootput, looks likely tae be aroond the standard o' a Kenwyne Jones, Djibril Cisse and Franco Di Santo.

    As a wee aside, the Scots have come oot fighting as they face the mighty squareheids taeneet, wi' prood Gordon Strachan laying doon the challenge...

    'You never know how it will pan out but we’re not planning for a scruffy game. Our training has been designed around where WE go, where WE play, where WE pass.' SEE WE!

    and Fletcher had a pop at one o' the arrogant mullet wearing, moustache having, sausage eaters too:

    DISREPECTFUL GERMANS

    'During the pre-match press conference, Fletcher hit out a "disrespectful" German journalist who asked him to describe the Scotland team, and warned that they were quietly confident about their chances. "I think it's a bit disrespectful that you don't know too much about the Scotland team. We have a lot of good players, I think we are well-known, a lot of us play in the Premier League, we have been on an unbeaten run of six matches and there has been a massive improvement since the manager came in,"'

    Calling us prood Scots 'dirty' and noo being disrespectful... it's a fitba fyewd, Oh yes, a fitba fyewd.

    He should have asked Fletcher about his view on the independence vote. See how PROOD Fletcher was then.

    Finland is having a close one with the dangerous and potential Faroe Islands, which most experts believe to be a medal candidate in the next Euro Cup. 1-1 after 75 minutes

    If Finland pull this one out they should get a bye directly to the final imo.
