Colonial Corrupting
My pseudo-nemesis John Colquhoun doesn't just mash up integrity in England and Scotland.
He is colonial in his destruction of the game.
So Alaves games are matchfixed in La Liga as are Las Palmas ones - witness the Canary Islanders recent run of short selling their events which reached a zenith at Real Sociedad this lunchtime.
And the most corrupted match on the continent this afternoon features Unique's Freiburg at Koln in a game vital to the hosts.
Obviously, corruption is carcinogenic but when it undermines a structure of beauty it is particularly galling and malfeasant.
The longest serving manager in the upper tiers of European football, Christian Streich, is leaving Freiburg after losing the will to continue after the UK agents effectively took over the club to monetise games in the betting markets.
Unique are not unique but they are unctuous.
As for Man City v Wolves, the attempts to derail City will continue until the conclusion of the season as the money from a fake competitiveness and, if Arsenal steal the title, the massive increase in value of Wasserman client Mikel Arteta are paramount.
Money talks.
Sport suffers.
Gillett is 4th Official.
Attwell is VAR.
Another piece of unsubstantiated stuff that landed on a colleague's desk this week implies that VAR and 4th Official have a communication route not open to match referee Craig Pawson.
We have someone in the City dugout who will be monitoring this.
Have a nice day, John.
