Queens Park Rangers - manager Harry Redknapp
Versus
Sheffield Wednesday - chairman Milan Mandaric
The Tax Evasion Derby featuring two individuals who would never dream of corruption.
Also, while we are at it...
The Football League has programmed 6 matches this weekend to commemorate 125 years of the Football League - these matches involve founder members, the most played game ever etc.
Are we not repeatedly told that the Fixture List is a randomised process that is computer generated?
The probability of all six matches happening on the same weekend is 1 in over 100 million!!!
This would occur by chance once every couple of million seasons!!!!!!
Must be one of those amazing flukes of the marketing process...
NB The considerable gamble was landed as QPR won 2-1 and, in one of those 'coincidences' that corrupt structures always throw up, Andy Johnson scored the winning goal past Chris Kirkland (his first goal for 21 months).
Check out http://footballisfixed.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/happy-anniversary-to-roy-hodgson.html for why this has resonance!
The only surprise being that Johnson didn't reveal a t-shirt saying "21 Months"!!
And, in extrapolation...
Professional gambler and football agent John Colquhoun represents four goalkeepers in the Championship - Bogdan (Bolton), Turnbull (Doncaster), Kirkland (Sheff Wed) and Carson (Wigan).
Over the season that is twelve matches that an insider trader has complete control over the outcome!
