Carlos Tévez's uncompromising take on John Terry saga uncovers 'Mad Max' world
It also reminded viewers of the finest lookalike in football history. Remember the tiny feral kid who scuttles around Max's ankles? For what are increasingly obvious reasons, no one has ever seen the scuffling, snarling, dingo-imitating little bundle of malign energy in the same room as Carlos Tévez.
And this week, Tévez furthered the notion that he hails from a place – much like Max's post-apocalyptic wasteland – with a seriously unforgiving moral code.
Certainly a lot less benign than the one which was in operation at Wembley on Wednesday night, when one decent clearance and a muscular tackle were enough for a straying former England captain to achieve popular redemption.
Speaking about John Terry's private predilections, Tévez said that "in my neighbourhood if you do that, you lose your legs, or you don't survive".
So now we know where to begin our inquiries if JT ends up one day with a steel boomerang embedded in his head.
