There is evil afoot in the English footballing world. And i'm not talkin about Chelsea. For the uninitiated (read : women or gays) Football League chairman Lord Brian Mawhinney (what fucking kind of faggot name is that for a Lord?) recently proposed that in the event of a match being drawn, a penalty shootout will take place with the winner of the shootout getting 2 points, and the loser getting 1 point. His Lordship of stupidity claims that this will encourage more attacking football since teams will have more incentive to go for the win.
O.M.F.G.W.T.F.B.B.Q.
Dear Lord Brian Mawhinney, here's a picture for you..
First off, this penalties for points shennanigans will only encourage even more defensive play from teams. Just imagine, teams like Bolton already emply an 11 men behind the ball tactic just to try and skive a point againts a more attacking team, and this is just so they can get a point. What more if at the end of the day, they could get even more out of it? Fat Sam will literally be buying 11 basketball players to stand infront off the goal. No one's gonna score..and when it comes to penalties, he'll sub em off for some Germans to win as we all know the English can't score from penalties even if the goal is the size of the big ben. Who gives a shit about winning when you can still get an edge by not losing?
Furthermore, this horseshit of an idea has already been tried and tested in the US and we all know how amazing American "soccer" is. The only good thing about "soccer" in America is that it produced Alexi Lalas and his godlike beard.
Its all a conspiracy really. Is it all the American's who've recently bought top English clubs? Is it the English Football Association themselves trying to raise the standard of English penalty taking ? Personally I believe its all Chelsea's fault. This is Roman's way of trying to justify just why they are paying Michael Ballack 140000 quid a week.
