Is it "Arrest a Footballer" Week already?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Robin van Persie, in connection to rape allegations
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Sto ... 66,00.html

George Best, in connection with indecent assault allegations
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Sto ... 47,00.html

Steve Finnan, back in custody after being bailed in March, charged with death-by-dangerous driving. Who the hell needs a Range Rover in Liverpool anyway?
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Sto ... 02,00.html

Davor Suker, questioned by police after the fatal shooting of his business partner
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Sto ... 52,00.html

All reported today. Throw in Lee Bowyer being dragged through the courts over something that a copper would ignore on a Saturday night in town (and that there were no charges pressed by Dyer over).

What is going on?
Grrr. Argh.

Tragically the "shocker" bit doesn't apply when those rich and stupid are footballers. "As Usual" seems a more accurate phrase :(

I love those posts that confuse me because two people typed a post without knowledge of what the other is doing and inevatably changes the nature of the reply.
