Insider Trading, Market Control, Pseudo Media & Sundry Corruptions

                               A DOZEN CRACKERS FOR CHRISTMAS                                           

Livarpool Livarpool Livarpool, Livarpool Livarpool Livarpooool, Livarpool Livarpool Livarpool, Livarpoooool Livarpool

As VAR lands another fake win for Livarpool v Wolves, one has to wonder why we bother.
Why any of us bother.

They had a golden goose and then Scudamore sold it to the mafia.

It's like greyhound racing...
... it's gone to the dogs.

Auld Firm Corruption

Q: Why is a football agent very closely linked to Celtic aiding Rangers in the SPFL title race?

A: We're assuming Peter Lawwell is aware of this. If so, why allow it?

How does this improve the share price?

How does this show respect to the fan base?

This internalised nonsense will cost the club a whole lot more than a few fucking Green Brigade flares...

Meanwhile Celtic penalty misser Ryan Christie and the Rangers keeper who saved it Allan McGregor are both represented by the same agent - Pro Legal...
... which, considering the visuals of this soft penalty has to be of note.

Fortunately, Charlie Christie (the player's father) has announced that his son will "bounce back" from handing Rangers the title.

Sportable

Replace Stockley Park staff and technology with Sportable Technologies  SPORTABLE TECH.
It's quick and 100% accurate and cannot be controlled by mafia (without a mafia takeover of the Sportable company - currently being explored by BT Sport).

VAR, on the other hand, is manipulated by mafia entities to suit the trading of those very same entities.

We guess in the end that the likes of BT Sport will buy Sportable and we'll simply be left with a higher grade of corruption.

But, for the moment, Sportable has the potential of being a major improvement in integrity.

However.

Never forget.

VAR works.

PGMOBsters don't.

The League Table Always Lies - Real EPL Table at the Halfway Stage (Prior to Dec 28th)

Manchester United sit 5th...
... they should be 14th and Solskjaer sacked.

Man City should be within 5 points of Liverpool and a title race on...
... but the pgMOBsters have signed for the Scousers.

Leicester are nowhere near as good as their doping makes them look...
... interestingly all but one of the 7 players who had been sporting illegal arm coverings during the doping window were absent or on the substitute bench at West Ham yesterday - Vardy and Barnes (Key Sports), Maddison (Base), Chilwell (Stellar), Pereira (Gestifute) and Ndidi.

Hodgson should have been sacked long ago at Palace...
... his incompetence is taking a lot of corruption to hide.

And the sackings of Pellegrino, Emery and Silva were beyond harsh - Everton would have been better sacking Jordan Pickford the Stellar non-trier.

The Real non-corrupted EPL table is below with the numbers in parentheses representing the points differential with the corrupted version.

1. Liverpool 46 (-6)
2. Man City 41 (+3)
3. Leicester 32 (-7)
4. Wolves 31 (+1)
5. Arsenal 30 (+6)
6. Spurs 30 (+1)
7. Chelsea 29 (-3)
8. Sheff Utd 26 (-3)
9. West Ham 25 (+6)
10. Burnley 24 (0)
11. Everton 22 (0)
12. Newcastle 22 (-3)
13. Bournemouth 21 (+1)
14. Man Utd 19 (-9)
15. Brighton 19 (-1)
16. Southampton 19 (0)
17. Aston Villa 18 (0)
18. Crystal Palace 15 (-11)
19. Norwich 15 (+3)
20. Watford 15 (+2)

15:00 EPL Games on Saturday December 28th

Yesterday there were three 15:00 kick off matches in the Premier League...
... they were all matchfixing events controlled by █████ agents.
'Mistakes' by Grealish, Konsa, Carroll and Kelly decided the 3 games - the first three are Stellar clients while the latter has recently moved from Stellar to associated agents Wasserman.

Meanwhile Unique Sports and offshoots controlled the outcome of Norwich vs Spurs.

Corrupted Management

Only in a league as corrupted as the EPL would the likes of  Javier Gracia and Sanchez Flores be succeeded by a Nigel Pearson, or Manuel Pellegrini be replaced by either of the clueless corrupted buffoons Tony "unexplained wealth" Pulis or David "private jet" Moyes.

As Moyes has been appointed, the club owners should secrete any key documents to avoid leakages.

The systemic corruption template requires acquiescent individuals at managerial level - the lack of quality in managerial appointments can be offset by the future criminalised input from dodgy referees and coerced players.
Poor quality inflated by corruption, the English way.

Marriner & Manchester City

The heavily abused Manchester City are experiencing a run of 12 games where Andre Marriner has been referee, 4th official or VAR official at 8 of them.
8 out of 12 games?!?
This is not normal...
... but, then again, most leagues don't select referees to mafia templates which produces bizarre stats.

INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Third Party Ownership

Who owns all these TPO players coming out of Ireland?

See Kerkyra Server 2.0 for database

Fake Guardian - Fake 'Journalism'

It isn't just the links between Guardian journalists and mafia entities...
It isn't the fake news on football and VAR corruption...
Or the desperate attempt to get the Guardian newspaper's compromised CEO implanted as equivalent at the EPL (where he would have been well suited as he has the integrity and morals of a nazi)...
It isn't just the abuse of any and all 5th Estate investigative journalists by this pseudo newspaper...

It is the little things...
... like when the Guardian's Will Unwin is doing a minute-by-minute (MBM) football match report for the paper based on Sky TV studio output whilst he is getting sloshed at his friend's house.

So all these bourgeoisie Guardianista Marina Hyde heroine-worshippers are getting off on and responding by email to a Guardian journalist who is reporting on the game but can't see it!
He is simply reporting what other people are seeing...
... and getting paid for it whilst getting pissed!?

No visuals, no unique input, just fake output to earn a wage.

The new Guardian media model...
... no news, but superb corruption facilitation and wall-to-wall fake news.

And somebody should check upon whether the Guardian's Louise Taylor really exists or whether she is just the figment of the imagination of the mafia man football agent who oversees the Guardian football.

And Marina Hyde used to shag Piers Morgan.
Ewwwwwww!!

Ho Ho Ho!

9 shots on target and 9 goals in the incredibly legitimate Championship game between Birmingham and Leeds - what is it with goalkeepers in this league?
They have the most dubious shot on target:goal ratio of any league, have known criminalised agents or are third party owned and the darnedest correlation between betting markets and performance exists in game after game in the Sky Bet Championship....??

Moneyball

The implementation of a Moneyball strategy at a club requires lateral thinking and flare.

A corrupt individual introduced Moneyball to Barnsley...
... Barnsley are second bottom in the Championship.

MOTD

The doubled up input of Lineker and Murphy squashes any unfortunate visuals associated with refereeing decisions or player 'errors' creating secreted insider trading on the games.

A pair of black market characters at the BBC.
Who'd have thought it?

3 Posts Of Corruption Past, Present & Yet To Come

Introduction

Our Christmas posts for 2019 focus on Manchester City, marginal gains, matchfixing, mafia and meritocracy.

We provide three disparate yet linked tales of how marginal gains undermine robust holistic advancement ensuring that a criminalised psychopathy triumphs over the public good.

The lack of meritocracy engendered by these mafia infrastructures causes a systemic long-term harm to football.

To celebrate living in the end times, we're publishing a trilogy of Christmas Carols

1) What's Going So Wrong with Manchester City and What's Going So Right for Liverpool

2) What's Going So Wrong with VAR and What's Going So Right for Insider Traders

3) What's Going So Wrong with Mafia and What's Going So Right for 5th Estate Anti-Corruption Journalists 
___________________________________________________

Marginal Gains

But first we need to address marginal gains.

Marginal gains first reached the attention of the sporting public when Team Sky cycling team pushed every input to the threshold of illegality and then beyond in order to lever a donkey and other dopers onto victory podia across France and other accommodating countries.

This systemic corruption destroyed the legacy of Team Sky despite the victories.
No matter how much controlled media told us wonderful fairy tales about Wiggins and Froome, nobody actually believed them - it was a fake reality ensconced in history and is now accepted as such.

No glory there.

The change of name to Team INEOS doesn't work either - the perception remains that INEOS continue to be doped up athletes with secreted motors utilising illegal marginal gains.

So the deal is that you trade wealth for credibility.
You sell out.

In late capitalism, every market sector evolves to maturity usually in the form of a cartel, a monopoly or duopoly or another mafia template of some sort.
Although these sectoral structures come together to work towards mutually beneficial defence e.g. against onerous regulation, these edifices fragment and fight over turf for the remainder of the time.

In mature market sectors there is little likelihood of game-changing inputs - there is a low probability that one of the Big Four accounting firms is going to develop an entirely new business model, for example.
So, there's a whole bunch of people out there who perceive that marginal gains are the only way to gain edge in mature markets.

(Of course, creative thinking would be a better provider of unique competitive edge but there is minimal creativity in psychopathic structures and individuals.)

So, in football, there is a battle going on between the Gestifute grouping of agents and the Stellar/ Key Sports/ Unique/ Base family of operators.
Although agents of the world unite when intermediaries are threatened with some limitation on their leeching from the sport, the world for agents is in a state of permanent war.

To gain edge, excessive marginal gains are enacted - matchfixing games, third party ownership of players, takeover of media, insider trading, money laundering & tax evasion, coercion of match officials and players, control of institutions, systemic doping and mafia violence.

But marginal gains only work up to the threshold of a sweet spot thereafter being psychopathic, revealing and self-harming.

Each successful implementation of a marginal gain by one agent grouping against another exposes information on the crimes at play.

An agent could be legitimate and earn his 15%.
An agent might realise that if one of his clients kicked the ball straight out of play from the kick off, he could sell 'Time of 1st Throw-In' on the spread markets and be quids in.
An agent might reckon that if he started representing more goalkeepers, he could 'persuade' them to let in goals, particularly if such goals are scored by other clients in the stable.
An agent might start betting on knowledge of this insider corruption.
An agent might recognise that you need more match control to take more betting market control and reach agreements with several PGMOB match officials.
An agent might come across other entities trying to achieve the same corruptions and seek to develop networks to offset enemies - here a number of agents would work together to fix games.
An agent might understand that 5th Estate anti-corruption investigative journalists are on his case and start seeking to disguise his corruption matrices. So, third party ownership of players and setting up satellite agencies allows greater but more opaque control of the field of play.
An agent might seek to cement betting market control by linking with numerous doping entities in the underworld.
An agent might want to take control of international teams by levering in managers and using kickbacks as a lubrication to get his often underperforming clients selected to play for their country.
An agent needs to start paying under-the-table brown envelopes to mafia entities to launder their processes in the black market. Meanwhile, the UK state and its offshore dominions offer crime secretion and tax evasion for monies from the grey and white markets.
An agent might feel limited by the volume that he can safely trade on the events that he is matchfixing and so become a part of a larger betting entity, established solely for the purpose of matchfixing and cornering global markets against peripheral patsies.
An agent might comprehend that the illicit wealth being created in a not-very-subtle-stylish-nor-discreet manner is becoming public knowledge via leaks, hacks and 5th Estate journalism and sign deals to transform mainstream media output into a suppression of corruption realities and an advertorial for those very entities that are orchestrating this corruption.
An agent might develop a cartel of clubs in the upper leagues for enhanced matchfixing, the control of league promotion and relegation and the promotion of clients.
An agent will quickly come to find that managerial change at clubs outside the cartel strengthens his power base and provides matchfixing opportunities as well.
An agent might seek to make his criminalised template systemic by taking over the institutions of power - starting small with taking over referee selection, then moving larger and seeking to take over the entire Premier League.
An agent might create spectacles to demonstrate his mafia control of the corruptions in British football - perhaps a 9-0 away win live on the telly where one of his clients scores a hat-trick.
An agent might start seeking enhanced reputation management and a legacy and a burying of the murky past.
An agent, as part of burying that past, might seek to 'remove' those who know-too-much.
An agent might develop a God Complex.

Once this agent started on his path, this conclusion was an inevitability.
If he hadn't perpetrated the corruptions, someone else would and power would have shifted in the game.
That's the issue here - absolute power requires absolute psychopathy.
But marginal gains is a self-harming psychopathy that reveals corruptions to observers.

And this is where marginal gains falls down.

An agent is featured in all 3 of the Christmas tales below...
________________________________________________________________________

What's Going So Wrong with Manchester City and What's Going So Right for Liverpool

An agent could become involved in creating cartels of teams for result manipulation, insider trading, client promotion and systemic corruption, so he could...

We have exclusively detailed the systemic corruption underpinning the improvement in the fortunes of Liverpool FC in other places - see  Lizards, Lacertae & Liverpool  - this template features the cartelised treatment of other clubs, the control of some PGMOB officials, insider trading and matchfixing...

In season 2019/20, these corruptions have inflated with four more teams liaising directly over match outcomes and several more match officials added to the corruption roster.

The biases against Manchester City and in favour of Liverpool via the mis-application of VAR represents a systemic crime.

We saw in the World Club Cup Final how a legitimate non-fraudulent referee deals with VAR - Abdulrahman Al Jassim is in a different class to the mafia-linked operatives presented to us by the PGMOB.

But the response to corruption in a competitive marketplace has to be holistic, robust and analytically astute and Manchester City have not stepped up to the mark.

The initial business model at Manchester City was simple but enlightening - sovereign wealth + meritocracy = growth + expansion.
And for a number of years this worked. Wonderfully.

But the weakness was in the structure.
Private fiefdoms became established in the club (particularly within the self-harming entity that is Manchester City Analytics) and bottlenecks of inefficiency developed at key communication points while numerous individuals surfed their performance protecting their mortgages and private school financing while adding little to the overall project.

The evolution of these fiefdoms has entirely undermined the club.
Meritocracy has been trumped by mediocrity.
Good people are leaving and others (like the Football is Fixed Network) are not willing to get involved - we refuse to work with any entity that leaks and withdraw immediately in such instance (as we did with City).

Leading people in Manchester City Analytics have been sacked recently following our disclosures of deliberate leakage of proprietary analytics to Liverpool (via a mafia-influenced route) and absolute poverty of performance in assessing corruptions being perpetrated against Manchester City's interests. City have lost Sancho and the 2019/20 Premier League title because of Manchester City Analytics - the entire entity needs disbanding and rebuilding more professionally.

And when Manchester City do raise a point with the EPL, it is peripheral to a strong argument.
So Guardiola correctly complained about the fixture scheduling over the xmas window but the entire fixture list is game theorised to the benefit of the Liverpool cartel of teams - last Saturday saw four EPL games entirely controlled results-wise and in the global betting markets by the participating teams - that isn't sport, that is a gambling scam.

Manchester City also leaks like a sieve. We know of 8 individuals (including three players) who do not have Manchester City's best interests at heart either deliberately by batting for the other side or via inefficiencies and stupidities undermining the operation.
And this has impact.

With one player who repeatedly underplays his professional hand, the knowledge is in South East Asian betting markets pre-match - and, before kick off, we all know if he is going to have a Timeform squiggle next to his name.

Another example - Oxbridge educated Vicky Kloss is Chief Communications Officer at the club.
Yet on foreign trips she is the biggest source of cybersecurity weakness in the entire enterprise as she repeatedly flouts internal security rules and standards.
A rogue operator could hack into City via targeting Ms Kloss.
And she used to work for the police!!!
Cybersecure she is not.

But the real issues lie not with shoddy professionalism or poor infrastructure but with the gambling mafia who are destroying football for betting market and other financial gains.

These systemic corruptions have impacts beyond league titles.
Player careers are destroyed or enhanced by mafia.
Matchfixing is routine.
Managers like Guardiola, Wenger, Mourinho, Silva, Emery and any others associated in any way with Gestifute are targeted by pgMOBsters to change our realities.

Guardiola will eventually give up on accepting the corruption in the Premier League.
Arteta has gone and Pep's wife and family are spending more time in Catalonia.
And there is little point continuing in an obviously corrupted league.

City could have protected themselves against the Liverpool Corruption Juggernaut...
... but the club's infrastructure and rogue individuals within it prevented any defence.

Blue Moon setting...?

What's Going So Wrong with VAR and What's Going So Right for Insider Traders

An agent might secure psychopathic control over in-play refereeing decisions by owning the Head of VAR, so he might...

It isn't just that the introduction of VAR into the Premier League has been flawed in the extreme, it is that the modes in which the technology is failing suggest deliberate chaos to the benefit of insider traders on the global betting markets.

We have stated elsewhere about the deficiencies in the PGMOB's version of VAR - see  VARcical  - and the fact that when VAR was introduced in Italy's Serie A match outcomes altered by referee error fell to 5% of games whereas in the Premier League the figure hovers around 25%.

One in 4 games...

But the systemic nature of the decision-making is the fraudulent issue - with certain match officials (either as referee or in the Stockley Park VAR centre), the decisions are positively correlated with insider trading patterns in the markets. This occurs at statistically significant levels.

This corruption utilises marginal gains which is what reveals their criminalised processes - greed = discovery.
Stockley Park is also not cybersecure. This is a disaster waiting to happen and stuff has already been posted on the dark web via leakage.

When control of the VAR decision-making processes are in-house then exerting further match control via coercion or persuasion of clients to perform appropriately on the field of play presents a very strong hand to an agent.

The final corrupt nail in this coffin is the control of the referee selection process, both on a game-by-game basis and also in which officials get promoted to the Select Group on the PGMOB.

As one individual agent exerts psychopathic control over all three of these arenas, we have systemic corruption.

All of this indicates matchfixing.

And yet VAR could be near to 100% perfect.

There are several technologies out there to make it so, the most interesting of which is Sportable.

If players and the ball have proprietary sensors then it is possible at any time to determine the sequences of ball and player contact, absolutely confirming whether a foul has been committed or not.
A smart ball will be able to monitor other rules too.
Furthermore, the technology is markedly more accurate than the GPS systems currently in use allowing more accurate player analytics.

You could remove the human from the process which, with the PGMOB monstrosity as the other option, is definitely preferable.

Sportable is available now.
Why would an agent choose to maintain the current corrupted template when a near-perfect alternative exists?

We're hoping that Arsene Wenger pushes for this new technology in his new rule as global head of football integrity.
Pressure Riley and pressure Swarbrick.
Make the mafia squeak. __________________________________________________

What's Going So Wrong with Mafia and What's Going So Right for 5th Estate Anti-Corruption Journalists

An agent might elect to evolve into a mafia man, if he so wishes...

The Economist: "In 1944 Raymond Chandler described the ideal character of a fictional private eye as a man comfortable on mean streets, but "who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid." He is:
"... a relatively poor man, or he would not be a detective at all. He is a common man or he could not go among common people. He has a sense of character, or he would not know his job. He will take no man's money dishonestly and no man's insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man."

In recent times, there have been an array of crimes both particular and systemic worldwide targeting anti-corruption journalists and organisations.
There is a battle for truth.
Power doesn't deal too well with truth.

Nino di Matteo (anti-mafia Sicilian magistrate): "We live in a mafia state - a state that, in order to preserve the status quo, has to remove whistleblowers who want justice. We want to know the reason for the silence of the mainstream media - why are they frightened to the degree they become accomplices in (and beneficiaries of) the corruption. We must rebel against this system and this mafia method."

When the government of Joseph Muscat, the prime minister of Malta (for now), orchestrated the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia for her anti-corruption disclosures of all facets of corruption on the crime island particularly the money laundering schemes involving Muscat, his chief of mafia staff Keith Schembri and the high-flying psychopath Yorgen Fenech.

The mafia state of Malta was so confident in its psychopathic veil that Neville Gafa (from the PM's office) followed Daphne around the day prior to her murder photographing her and all protests for a real inquiry into the death fell on stony mafia ground.

But just over two years on and the castle has crumbled.
Some of the orchestrators of this horrific murder of a brave anti-corruption activist will soon rot in a Maltese prison.

The campaign for justice is won.

Daphne Caruana Galizia's last quote before the car bombing: "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate."

Four months after Caruana Galizia was killed, Jan Kuciak and his partner Martina Kusnirova were murdered by mafia in Slovakia for Jan's anti-corruption investigations and journalism. We outed Marian Kocner as the prime suspect immediately and, following the resignation of the prime minister, a team of 82 police officers eventually gathered enough evidence to arrest Kocner.
When Jamal Khashoggi was brutally tortured and murdered by Saudi representatives in Turkey, the route back from perpetrators-to-intermediaries-to-orchestrator led right to the palace of Prince Salman. Even at this elevated level of global elite, there have been impacts. Salman has been ostracised by numerous global entities and the western investment banking community pulled any interest in the IPO of Saudi Aramco which had to be force fed to dutiful Saudi citizenry to be made worthwhile.

There are numerous other examples, the most obvious of which is the illegal imprisonment and torture of Julian Assange by the UK and British rogue states for the crime of exposing the historical war crimes of those very states.

The Wikileaks Theory of Change (2006): “Where details are known as to the inner workings of authoritarian regimes, we see conspiratorial interactions among the political elite, not merely for preferment or favour within the regime, but as the primary planning methodology behind maintaining or strengthening authoritarian power. Authoritarian regimes create forces which oppose them by pushing against a people’s will to truth, love and self-realisation. Plans which assist authoritarian rule, once discovered, induce further resistance. Hence such schemes are concealed by successful authoritarian powers until resistance is futile or outweighed by the efficiencies of naked power. This collaborative secrecy, working to the detriment of a population, is enough to define their behaviour as conspiratorial.”

But.
And it is a very big but...

The public weight is very firmly on the side of justice.
State Mafia and/or Mafia, whether emanating from Saudi Arabia, Malta, Slovakia, Brighton or Stirling are all in the same boat.
Their crimes are visible and the stories are already written.
Justice will be served.

And.

By confronting the haak ging, we renovate.
We are leaderless, anonymous and comfortable with violence.

"And the ball has never been more in our court.

And, talking of court...
... if we burn, you burn with us."

EXCLUSIVE: Cooking The Books - How A Triptych Of UK Agents Engender Matchfixing

Strewth! - A Fixed BT Sport Televised Premier League Match Not Under BT Sport Control!

When Mourinho took Spurs to that weird grassed area where West Ham United play their home matches, there was considerable early market insider trading against the man in his first game back in the Premier League.

Patsy fools internal to BT laundered previous illicit profits onto the Hammers only to discover that Jose was entirely in control of the event.

Roberto, the West Ham United goalkeeper, is represented by Mariano Aguilar owner of the eponymous M.AG. Mr Aguilar is closely associated with Doyen Sports. Doyen Sports are very closely associated with Gestifute. And Gestifute are Mourinho's pimps - if you wish to trace this chain yourself, this article is a good place to begin  Mariano Aguilar & Doyen Sports

Roberto was poorness personified in the match letting in the three goals that killed off the game with his superficial performance deciding the outcome.

After the West Ham v Spurs game, interactions took place to discuss manners in which the systemic matchfixing template that currently underpins the Premier League might be corrupted more extensively and internally for proprietary profits in the period ahead using similar templates.

There's no loyalty between mafia thieves as they function as a fragmented cartel sharing strategies when it suits the systemic corruption overall but fighting over turf the rest of the time.

Anyway.

The discussions were between 'associates' from three gambling agents (two of whom are linked) and we understand that decisions were taken to influence the outcomes of EPL games and Championship games.

But who could those agents be?

Recipe For Corruption

Use players to corrupt events.
Influence these match outcomes to private agendas.
Generally these agendas are related to insider trading on the betting markets as, in the holistic, the amount earned from the corruption must more than offset the deterioration in market value of the player making the 'mistake', but player underperformance is used for managerial regime change too (see below).
The insider trading is carefully placed to avoid alerting the markets.
We had to work hard to detect it.

Data

To assess whether these corruptions came to pass, we need an external neutral source for the data.

So we used the data available at 'Who Scored?' to list the 'Errors leading to Goals' in the Premier League in the last four rounds of matches.

There have been 16 such errors.

Here they are with a brief description and the agent name in brackets (if we think it might be of relevance).

1. Everton v Norwich - Gylfi Sigurdsson (Stellar) mistake leading to second Norwich goal in 2-0 defeat. Who Scored? rated him the worst player on the pitch.

2. Sheffield United v Manchester United - Phil Jones (Key Sports) presents the first goal to the home team before being substituted at half time while Simon Moore (Key Sports) gifts Man Utd their third goal in a heavily matchfixed 3-3 draw. By far the two poorest players on the pitch according to Who Scored?

3. Burnley v Crystal Palace - Nick Pope (Stellar) makes error leading to opening goal with first shot on target on the stroke of half time. Lets both on-target shots in during 0-2 defeat and was the poorest player according to Who Scored?. Ben Mee was also at fault for the second goal.

4. Liverpool v Brighton - A fixed match saw red card for Alisson and an error from his replacement Adrian in a market-orientated Tony Bloom event.

5. Southampton v Watford - Jack Stephens (Stellar) is the culprit for the opening goal of the game although Southampton rebound to win anyway. Stephens was the joint lowest rated Who Scored? player.

6. Norwich City v Arsenal - Christoph Zimmermann (Unique Sports) inexplicably basketballs the ball away in Freddie Ljungberg's opening game as Arsenal manager to provide a penalty equaliser when the Gunners confidence was low. Arsenal grab a 2-2 draw.

7. Manchester United v Tottenham - Paolo Gazzaniga dived all around Marcus Rashford's 6th minute strike in 2-1 defeat.

8. Liverpool v Everton - Jordan Pickford (Stellar) took to the media ahead of this game to tell us how he was fighting for Marco Silva to keep his job as Everton manager but, according to our source, he actually was not so focused on this outcome. So when Pickford made errors and let in all 5 shots on target achieving the lowest Who Scored? EPL player rating of the season, it wasn't a surprise. Neither was the sacking of Silva the following day. Job done.

9. Sheffield United v Newcastle - In a tight game Dean Henderson (Stellar) let in the first two shots on target in 2-0 home defeat - he was the Who Scored? lowest rated player in the match.

10. Tottenham v Burnley - Nick Pope (Stellar) pontificated letting in 5 of the first six shots on target in a 0-5 defeat where he was the lowest rated Who Scored? player.

11. Norwich v Sheffield United - A mistake by Mario Vrancic led to a 2-1 defeat for the Canaries.

12. Brighton v Wolves - Another internal Bloom matchfixing event with crazy errors from Davy Propper and Rui Patricio along the way. Rumoured to be a two-for-two event but now we've announced it publicly, the return match could be anything. The job's a good 'un though.

And when you trace further back into the season, the percentage of match-changing errors made by the likes of Tyrone Mings (Key Sports), Pickford, Henderson and the like is far higher percentage-wise than should be the case - it is statistically significant.

And the template extends to the Championship.

If one takes another metric of goalkeeper performance and apply it to the Championship, the same agents stand out.

If one records the number of occasions this season that keepers concede over 60% of the shots on target in Championship games, only 7 players have achieved this feat on four or more occasions:

Randolph of Unique Sports and Middlesborough, Rudd of Stellar and Preston and Long of Key Sports and Hull City are three of them. Two others are █████ █████ █████  and another was previously represented by one of our trio.

So what?

It isn't just that over 50% of the errors have been made from players represented by the triumvirate of Stellar, Key Sports and Unique.
It isn't just that these errors were result-changing or insider trader-influenced or both.
It doesn't matter that Marco Silva lost his job due to corruptions perpetrated against his interests.
It doesn't even matter that Stellar represent all three current England goalkeepers (Pope, Pickford and Henderson).
Or that they also represent the 1st choice Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall.
Or that Stellar have signed up the 1st and 2nd choice Wales keepers while the two Irish national keepers are represented by Unique Sports and Key Sports.
It doesn't matter that this is producing proprietary matchfixing layered on top of the systemic in the Premier League and control of the outcomes of international matches.
Nor does it matter that these mistake-prone players are non-meritocratically elevated onto the international stage.
It doesn't even matter that BT Sport were patsies on their own event nor that they have lost their EPL CEO placeperson David Skipwith Pemsel for integrity violations on the fake character they created for the man.
No.
None of this fuckin' matters.

What matters is that this is the end of your sport.

Agents are matchfixing games to money launder previous winnings in order to reinvest such insider traded booty in both legal and illicit player representation (third party ownership) which produces profits that need to be laundered via future matchfixing, which is engendered by coerced players making 'mistakes' in insider traded events etc etc ad finitum - the Death Spiral of Marginally Gained Corruptions!

Unless a Labour government is elected tomorrow, football in this country is dead.

The sport will however remain a spectacle and Gary Lineker will still don underwear on Match of the Day to celebrate the landing of another systemic corruption involving Leicester City and every passing game will spiral up the histrionic scale of 'best ever', 'greatest ever', 'unbelievable' as fortunes are made out of your sport being turned into a casino.

But the match outcome will always be in certain dark pool betting markets pre-match...
... and that is the very definition of matchfixing.

That's the choice when it comes to footie.

Mafia, matchfixing, corrupt media, money laundering and misery...
... or proper regulation of agents and betting markets, the outright banning of insider trading, fan representation on club boards, a regulatory body to undermine corruption in UK football, a functioning anti-doping agency, a fruitful fit-and-proper-person test that filters out psychopathy rather than inviting it in and, most importantly, the chance for the most beautiful sport to rediscover its beauty.

FOR THE SAVING OF FOOTBALL VOTE LABOUR TOMORROW

GET JOHNSON DONE
