Fucked Footie Players - A Football Is Fixed Special #

Today's post details the sixteen most active Schweinmannschaft in the English Premiership.

These players are the ones that Total Information Awareness, our trading network, believe to be the most compromised players in the league.

7 goalkeepers, 3 defenders, 2 midfielders and 4 forwards are indicative of where the match-fixers, in their various varieties, target their criminal attentions.
Seven goalkeepers...
One of these keepers, we know for a fact, is being coerced into underperformance.
Threatened...

This is not good for the ScudamoreWorld Product.

Why 7 goalies anyway?
Two reasons...
Firstly, at the peak of my incredibly limited footballing abilities, I appeared in goal for the University of Manchester 1st XI.
I read goalkeepers better than the other positions.
Secondly, one slip from any other position on the field of play, may result in anything.
One slip from a goalkeeper makes a 1.0 goal difference to the global betting markets.
Alan Hansen thinks it takes five or six players to fix a football match!
We think that he is demonstrating economies of hyperreality...

One agent represents three of the players on our list.
As Declan Hill correctly pointed out in his book 'The Fix', the agents are frequently the first port of call for the match manipulators.
Until recently...
Now the agents are amongst those acting as the primary source of such match corruptions.

Bribery and coercion, familial networks, solo rogue operators, even a mini-systemic infrastructure, they are all here in the first ever Football Is Fixed 'Fucked Footie Players' Listing.

Over the next few months, I am going to be putting together a series of posts focusing on games where these sixteen schweinmannschaft are involved.
I will be teaming up with two of my colleagues for these posts.
A Sports Scientist, a Forensic Psychologist and a Market Analyst assessing #########
########### as he creatively underperforms for ########################### on an imaginative basis highly positively correlated with certain insider betting patterns.
Where else can you get stuff like this?
We will be offering our analyses to a smallish group as High Level Consultative Documents.
These rogue players exhibit their criminal fringe activities in real-time.
The value in knowing the individuals in question and being able to read their match input as the game develops is of marked significance in the market place as well as in in realistic assessment of the hyperreality of this alleged 'sport'.

Originally, the third in our troika of anti-free market posts was to have been published today.
Pressure of work commitments mean that this post is now delayed until Thursday next.
Each of the next two posts will be limited in scope due to several key work meetings and one and three quarter hours total devotion to the Hand of God from the cheap seats at Hampden.

One of the happiest days of my life...
The Argentinian psyche is my favourite, I think.
Italy plus Spain plus South America.
There is equivalent joy in Buenos Aires over the Hand of God goal as there is for the slaloming beauty of Maradona's other perfection of human endeavour on that wonderful afternoon.
Is there any other culture that could provide Lionel Messi virtually mimicking to the muscle strain the exact same goal for Barcelona a couple of decades later?
All of my favourite footballers have been Argentinian.
As a seven year old, I even appreciated Antonio Rattin.
Catenaccio with South American flair trumps any other soccer system.
And I'm going to see this legend in the flesh.

OMG life does not get any better than this...
Las Islas Malvenas Argentina.
