  1. London is now the murder capital of the World, according to the hacks.

    To be fair morata is going from sunny Madrid to England (doesn't matter where the **** you are in england, the weather is pony).

    Not even ginge would fight that argument if he was a united supporter to choose to live in Manchester over London if you had unlimited money.

    Why would he go to Chelsea? So he gets a game of footie rather than sitting on mourinho's bench

    If you were to assume the north(west) was like Coronation Street in real life you would have a case to give it a wide berth, if you were to assume all footballers socialise in the city they ply their trade you'd be way off the mark.
    Man Utd/City players in the main choose Cheshire to live and the players at LFC/EFC tend to choose in general Birkdale/Ainsdale or the Wirral, so the "goldfish bowl" situation rarely happens due the exclusivity of the area were it's no big deal to see a footballer in a local eaterie or pub, golf course or even supermarket.
    London must be sound for the top players on big dosh but I kinda doubt most of them spend most nights in the city.

    Hmmmm I'm still not convinced. It's not like they all move here from New York, I'd imagine most of them come from smaller cities if bought from abroad.

    Scouser I work with said he'd rather beat Real Madrid than Bayern, but he'd rather lose to Bayern than Real Madrid.

    I think that's a fair comment, considering Ronnie being a United legend.

  6. They’ve got to get past Roma yet!

    I trust that you put the young Mouser back in his box, Tel?

    Exactly.

    Then you have Weymouth, gangland ****.

    Kingston.
    Syria must be pretty ****ing bad.
    Detroit.
    Mexico City


    That's not even whole countries ffs (except Syria, not big on Syrian geography tbh). England is like a wet fish in comparison.

    Doesn't make the top 50: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate

    The New York v London thing was for a two month period and because the rate over there was unusually low.
    They've done well on cutting crime since their heyday, to be fair to them.

    Basically South America is ****ing dodgy as you like, with Kingston and a couple of American cities thrown in for diversity reasons.

    Should be about 24th, but I assume it's been omitted because of a lack of current data.

    The growth of squatter settlements in Lae and Port Moresby has led to a corresponding increase in the number and size of raskol gangs. Crimes such as rape, murder, and carjacking are common in a city that has a 60 percent unemployment rate.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raskol_gangs

    Initiation to a Raskol gang includes raping a woman.

    Maad ****ing place.

    In urban areas, particularly slum areas, Raskol gangs often require raping women for initiation reasons.[7] Peter Moses, one of the leaders of the "Dirty Dons 585" Raskol gang, stated that raping women was a “must” for the young members of the gang.[7] In rural areas, when a boy wants to become a man, he may go to an enemy village and kill a pig to be accepted as an adult, while in the cities "women have replaced pigs".[7] Moses, who claimed to have raped more than 30 women himself, said, “And it is better if a boy kills her afterwards, there will be less problems with the police”.[7]


    Nice geezer ffs.
