Erik Dier?

Trying to think which was the most odious thing: the greasy rat's smug goal celebration, the greasy rat's even more smug full time celebration....

Agreed, but he does seem to have paid his taxes. I find not doing so quite odious as well, regardless of how gifted you are as a footballer.

I remember that story, but it didn't make much sense to me. Isn't he paying tax in Spain, rather than his home country?

It's not the only tax-dodging he does: Los Ladrones have an arrangement where they pay the oily rat's taxes for him...and there's plenty of things that are shady as a very shady thing about this arrangement, not least how the rate he should pay is somewhere around 36% - yet they pay closer to 25%

Secondly, as it's been established on more than one occasion that Los Ladrones have received a few "favours" from the authorities over the years, what are the odds they've even paid that? More importantly than anything else, and what needs to be asked...should I tell the Student Loans Company to send an invoice to this address?

I'm sure that most top professional footballers dodge the **** out of tax, as do most people that earn that sort of money, unfortunately.
Given that Messi and Mascherano were clearly given advice by professionals, perhaps they should've been convicted, too?
When the system's a mess, then this kind of crap will continue to happen and remain largely punishment-free.
 
I'm colour blind and whilst the one on the right is a fraction better, it's very minimal. The most common problem is red/green. As grass tends to be green, it would be best to ban any team from wearing red. That works out rather well.

There was a study a while ago that suggested that teams wearing red gained some sort of slight advantage.
It was attributed to a psychological effect, as it's a colour associated with strength or something.
Perhaps it was actually down to colour-blindness?

Perhaps it was down to Premier League referees being conditioned to give every 50/50 (and plenty of 0/100...) decisions to teams that wear all-red home strips?

What is Emre Can thinking there? Gives away a stupid foul, then squares up to the ref to ensure he's booked. <doh>
