Is all the fury over Balotelli masking a far bigger story?

[Prestwich_Blue]

I've just seen some information that makes me realise why there is all the fuss over Balotelli this morning as there is a far bigger story that key people are very keen to bury.

That story is Stoke 1 v 2 West Brom. Two West Brom goals, one very late on, were the result of goalkeeping howlers from Thomas Sorenson, normally a very safe pair of hands. His save from Mario in the Cup Final was one of the best I've ever seen and all goalkeepers make mistakes now and again but two in the same game beggars belief.

When you add suspicious betting patterns to that then the story takes on a whole new complexion. Bodog, West Brom's sponsor, were offering far better than market odds on a Stoke win (and therefore tempting money on that outcome across the market) and kept those odds well into the game. Plus a lot of money went on a West Brom win in the Far East just before kick off and the big Far Eastern bookies layed Stoke heavily.

But I'm sure it's mere coincidence and there is no agenda.

Wow Colin...

I'm not disputing anything in your post, I'll just sit on my hands with this one and keep my eyes open

So that explains why Howard Webb awarded us a 94th minute penalty. He had twenty quid on a City win. Good old Webby.

Hope his winnings covers the wages Taggart has docked him

I don't buy it.

Sorenson was gutted on those goals.he also took it upon himself to climb into the stands at the fa cup and apologise to fans for not winning.

I think what we're getting at is that there's actually a remote control inside the ball, someone was sitting in the stands and steared it to the right, just before it reached the keeper.
