Footie in England used to be corrupt. We know this. Modern footie in England is as pure as the driven and white as Obama's arse.
Rugby League is corrupt, cricket is corrupt, the government of Tanzania is corrupt, local councils are all corrupt, Westminster is corrupt, civil service - corrupt, Putin et al - corrupt, that side of the family - corrupt, unions are corrupt, police, military procurement, marketing execs, salesmen, Italy, John O'Shea's backside, footie in Spain, Chinese general officers, Los Angeles County, Swiss banks, Lizards from Alpha Centauri, the Turf, are all corrupt. Pope - goes without saying, Glasweigan milkmen, Scousers, Cockernees, Nicholas Parsons, Olympic Committee, Blatter and Platini, Morecombe and Wise, Flannagan and Allen - all corrupt, as are pharmaceutical companies, shipping lines, car makers, energy suppliers, gold bullion merchants, corner-shops, chippys, kebab houses and those folks responsible for little bags of salt in crisps. All corrupt. All of them.
Not good old footie in good old Blighty though. No sir. There are only two things in this world free from the taint of corruption - and I'm the other one.
