I had pretty much given up on Viz lately as it was desperate at times. Saw the latest one in the newsagent and thought "och what the ****". Was pleasantly surprised. They have still run out of ideas for Top Tips but the letters are priceless. Couldn't stop laughing at this one:-
"What's to stop a footballer flicking the ball up and balancing it on his head like a seal and then his team mates forming a protective circle around him and the whole lot just walking across the opponents goal line? As long as he didn't pass the ball to a team mate nobody would be in an offside position. No opponent could break the protective cordon as that would be a challenge off the ball, nor could they try to kick the ball off his head as that would be a high foot and deemed as dangerous play. It seems absolutely foolproof to me. I understand it will not lead to an exciting game of football but we're going to have to do something to get past the group stage at this summer's World Cup"
