The Sun offering £10,000 to any player that scores against Chelsea

Putting the excitement back into football, ha haaaaar!!. looking forward to Mourinho's response.

 

Also looking forward to the fracas when the first team to get a penalty against them has a major upset over who's going to take it.

 

Can you claim retropectively?

I consider myself a bit of a player and I scored against Chelsea years ago when her Dad was on an official visit to the UK.

Do I win £10,000?

 

Sorry IOWT but I think that counts as scoring WITH Chelsea and not against.

 

Technicality, surely I've got a claim?

In the boundries of taste I'm not going to argue whether it was 'for' or 'against'

 

What part of her was it against ?

Just for research purposes you understand. And was it during her toothy ginner phase, or post Beverley Hills dental surgery ?

 

whichever was most attractive obviously, I can't remember now. I'd been hanging out with Kate Moss* and that, so the night's a bit of a blur.

*might not have been Kate Moss though or Chelsea Clinton, depends if they were hanging about on the Isle of Wight several years ago on a night that I've just made up.

I should be a writer or legal adviser or something.

 

I think it is your vision that is letting you down, pay attention to your sight. Your vital eyes if you will.

Chronic.

 

what about OWN GOALS?

or if the goalie gets his hand to it??

 

I laughed at that against my will, which in my books* makes you a facist or something.

*pending a publisher and some content. I've done a cover though. It's white.

 

Oh dear.

I reckon that could backfire badly.

 

I don't think one days pay is going to get them to make an effort. Needs to be something unique, like a weekend in Iraq with Fern Britton.

 

they dont need to make an effort

whoever scores the 1st goal all the goalie as to say is i got my hand to it then its a own goal and the 10 grands his

 

Think the FA might have something to say about that

Plus - does any Premiership footballer really need another £10k?!

 

Thats exactly what The Sun are doing

£10k to a charity of the goalscorers nomination.

 

Can the FA charge the Sun with bringing the game into disrepute?

This is wrong on so many levels.

Great publicity for the game - an English newspaper will pay a player that scores against the English champions, no still doesn't sound right.

I was under the impression that The Scum (sorry The Sun) was a newspaper (in the loosest meaning of the word of course) but they seem to be more intent on making news (this, the Prince Harry and Sandhurst security etc) than reporting it.
I'm constantly amazed when I see otherwise intelligent people reading it!

 

As a Sun reader

I think they are closer to popular opinion than you give them credit. every football fan I speak to are getting bored with the Premiership, Chelsea buying it and Moaniho bring the most boring continental mentality of clean-sheet-itus with him, I reck the Sun have hit the nail on the head. look at the top 10 Prem games shown on SKY: the Liverpool-Newcastle games, etc. cant think of a single Chelsea game under Moaniho that had me enthralled.

oh, and bring back hanging.

 

RE: As a Sun reader

Just over a season ago people were bored cause it was always Arsenal or Man Utd, we get someone else winning it and people are bored of that!
Theres a difference between reporting that people are bored with it and making a cheap shot like this which does nothing for the game. As I said, they should report the news, not make it.

 

RE: As a Sun reader

In terms of popular opinion SM, you're not wrong and the football sections are probably the best of all the tabloids.

The rest of the paper is generally garbage though and just swings to and fro according to what the public mood is or in an attempt to influence the public mood.

Did you buy the Sun when it was a fully fledged conservative party paper up until 1996/7? and will you buy it when it swings back in that direction, possibly before the next election?
