Crimes And Punishments In A Bipolar World #

3
There are, undoubtedly, some characters in the game who are more murky than Peter Kenyon.
But, despite this proviso, you wouldn't want him going out with your daughter, would you?

This week Kenyon, who tries to justify the stability of one of the most psychopathic entities in world football, decided that it was a suitable time to lecture others from his House of Cards. Click to continue reading...

The Fetishism Of The English Premiership - A Flashback

1
The new subscription structure of Football Is Fixed includes provision for a couple of Flashback posts per month, in order that we may either demonstrate our prescience or allow for the continuation of the arguments set out in the original post.

The article below was originally printed in April 2008 and relates to the illegal machinations that were being unveiled in order that the English Premiership title race would go to the wire. Click to continue reading...

We want to create a collaborative experiment with our readers.
We want to create a powerful trading tool for application to the English Premiership.

We want all participants to share the fruits of this venture. Click to continue reading...

Pele Knows Nothing About Football

1
"It was totally unjustified... What was happening in the penalty box as they prepared to take the freekick is nothing different to what has been going on for five years. And none of the other referees have whistled" - Leo Beenhakker.

When UEFA announced the match officials for the first 12 games of Euro 2008, the selection of Howard Webb and his cohorts for the Austria v Poland game was always an eye-opening appointment. Click to continue reading...

The Murky Mug It For Manchester

3
"Its a match of great memories, and there's more memories to come" blurted Mark Hughes at the end of normal time.

"Both goalkeepers must be dreaming, while concentrating, of course" offered David Pleat with 10 minutes of non-normal time remaining.

"Peter Kenyon, you're a wanker, you're a wanker" - Mancunian Realism greeting the most unpleasant man at Chelsea, apart from all the other unpleasant men at Chelsea, that would be. Click to continue reading...

The Men Behind The Wire

1
There is nothing more frustrating for the purveyors of a fake reality than a real Reality threatening to block out the projected spectacular one. When such a loss of control of the spectaclised media agenda is brought to our attention, there needs to be a concerted strategy from all interested power parties to alleviate the potential damage to the branded pseudo-entertainment delivered for our delectation.

Do You Wish For Your Life To Be Better Or Not?

Once per year, Dietrological/ Football Is Fixed do the Berkshire Hathaway thing and we adjust our thresholds of proprietary isolationism to take account of the new market sector realities. We are able to undertake this cyclical review due to our considerable competitive edge in the marketplace. This edge allows us to provide our non-core analyses both for the content of the Football Is Fixed blog and for the annual sale of a selection of High Level Consultancy Documents.

Fantastic And Phantasmagoric

0
Richard Scudamore: "Its a fantastic end to the season".
It is fantastic. It is a fantasy.

Sky Television Advertising: "The most amazing weekend ever".
Guy Debord: "... increasingly extensive campaigns are necessary to convince people to buy increasingly unnecessary commodities".

Mohammed bin Hammam (Asian Football Confederation President): "Political and vested interests must be completely eliminated. Click to continue reading...

The Fetishism Of The English Premiership

1
What have Robert Mugabe and Richard Scudamore in common?
They are both prone to manipulate realities for personal gratification.

The outrageously racist coverage in the northern hemispheric media regarding the situation in Zimbabwe stands in marked contrast to a dissimilar lack of coverage for the grotesque corruption underpinning the world of English football. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal To Secure Premiership On Mega Monday.

2
The Premiership title will be heading down to The Emirates if Wenger's team can defeat already relegated Derby in Setanta's Monday night mismatch.
Three points clear of Manchester United with a game in hand and only two more matches remaining, one of which is a "internally controlled but systemically neutral" event in the Gunners favour, Wenger's team deserve their triumph after a season of Total Football showed the benefits of remaining a team of integrity in a very murky Premier League World.

Will Father Timothy Flotsky Marry Corinne Tate?

0
70's pseudo-soap, Soap, provided warped twists to reality while also treating the downright improbable as a standard daily occurrence.
Marital infidelity has never been so funny.
In its own way, Soap was a postmodern entity in that the show paraded the interaction between two dysfunctional extended American families as a series of images precessing through the phases to a total simulation of a family's Real purpose, if any such purpose exists. Click to continue reading...

Imagine There's No Heaven

0
Imagine, for one moment, that Richard's Scudamore and Keys never existed, that the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) was never concocted, that hyper-owners were not buying the outcomes of football matches, that European bookmakers were not behaving similarly. No hidden agendas and no corrupted matches - proper football without the odious influence of psychopathic power. Click to continue reading...

Nah Respect

2
Twisted fire starter, Richard Scudamore, yesterday finally achieved the desired outcome to his privately controlled and proprietary competition otherwise known as the Premiership. Three months after Dietrological provided a xmas freebie to both our clients and Football Is Fixed readers that a Manchester United triumph was inevitable, the culmination of that inevitability gained fruition with the usual corrupted input from the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) officials.

Shinawatra Seen Selling Crack Cocaine In Cheetham Hill

1
Last Sunday in East Manchester around 5:30 in the afternoon, the air resonated with the chant "Thaksin, Thaksin, Give Us A Wave" and the little gangster was helped to his feet by his security consultants to return respect to Harpurhey man.
Curiously enough this same cry was common in southern Thailand where Islamic separatists were gunned down by the gangster's men when his excellency was last in power in Asia. Click to continue reading...

What Price Thatcher Dying Before May Day?

There are some people one may be quite certain about. And David Lacey, the Guardian's football editor, is one such person.
Having just wasted five minutes of my life attempting to understand the logic behind beardie-weirdie's assertion: "May's best final? Look to Wembley, not Moscow", its time for a dose of reality. Click to continue reading...

The World's Greatest Competition? Get Real

0
The World's Greatest Competition is not the FA Cup despite the ludicrous marketing attempts of the FA itself, the BBC and a whole posse of talking heads (particularly those like Lee Dixon who are working on behalf of the bookmaking industry).
Barnsley, Bristol Rovers, Portsmouth, Cardiff, West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough - you're having a laugh. Click to continue reading...

A Howard Webb Of Deceit

0
When the Three Card Poll pocketed his whistle and sulked off back to Tring, there was an inevitability that the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) would promote someone else to continue the man's projects. Police sergeant Howard Webb was the man on the square, so to speak.
Just as we had a problem with Poll so we do with Sgt Webb - they share many inappropriate attributes - but, whereas Poll was enigmatic in his influence upon match outcomes, Webb conforms to a range of particular templates. Click to continue reading...

Football - One Massive Global Conspiracy

0
Football is a closed shop industry and outsiders like ourselves are only invited within these hallowed boundaries as we are able to significantly improve the performativity of aspects of the market sector. From our varied experiences in these consultative roles, it is our estimation that everybody of any stature within the sport of football is aware of the massive corruption in the game.

Who Is The Worst Referee In The Premiership?

3
We delayed the release of the latest Bum Ref Index due to the astonishingly inept lack of professionalism demonstrated by the match officials of the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) at the weekend. It would have been inappropriate to post an incomplete picture.
Before we assess the Dirty Dozen, the twelve referees who are particularly culpable in the undermining of the integrity of the English top flight game, lets check out some holistics. Click to continue reading...

More Melon's Being Twisted

1
The match between Birmingham and Arsenal should have been cancelled after three minutes following Eduardo's injury - it was immediately evident when the match restarted that Arsenal's players were struggling to cope with the horrific nature of the breakage and they should not have been expected to continue.

Nationalisation And Pumping A Flagging Brand

1
Good governance is the one core competency required by the administrators and officials, for that is all they are, who oversee all market sectors. When, as at Northern Rock or the Premier League, the infrastructure is shown to be invalid, as measured against the yardstick of benchmarking, change must be enforced. Click to continue reading...

You're Twisting My Melon Man

2
Anybody who placed their gambles based on the "knowledge" of Statto will be feeling both revenge and a disturbing sense of historical gullibility this morning. News broke yesterday that Statto, "real" name Angus Loughran, has been declared bankrupt and, although he claimed that the debts were related to council tax non-payments, it is believed that the man's finances are, shall we say, a touch "delicate".

Eight Days In The Life Of A Fascist

2
This has been a big 8 days for the corrupt business practices of Thaksin Shinawatra. We informed readers a few weeks back that the mass murderer was intending to be more selective in his choice of matches to buy in the latter part of the season and his first target was the Manchester derby.
It all began at White Hart Lane last Saturday afternoon when Shinawatra's one aim was to ensure that Wayne Rooney was booked hence ensuring that he would miss this afternoon's memorial derby. Click to continue reading...

The End Of A Game As We Knew It

0
The death knell of the English Premiership as a fan-based competition was sounded yesterday by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore, with the announcement that, from season 2010/11, Premiership games will be branded around the world as a globalised product. His selection of the day of Chinese New Year for the publication of this proposed strategy is more than revealing. Click to continue reading...

A Happy New Year to all of our Chinese and Asian clients and readers.
All Asian clients should check their emails where you will find a suitable red packet when you return to business mode.
The mythology of Chinese New Year seems particularly apt when compared with the modern day realities of the global football betting markets. Click to continue reading...

Champions League - You're Having A Laugh

0
Painful as it is to paraphrase plastic Preston people, the "Premiership - You're Having A Laugh" chant targeting Derby County fans on Saturday was, in our estimation, the joint funniest chant of the season to date (alongside Manchester United's "What The Fuckin' Hell Is That?" greeting of Peter Crouch entering as a substitute at Anfield).

Big Ground, Shit Fans (And Owner)

1
Newcastle United are not a big club. The only reason that Newcastle remain in the Premiership is due to the bias in decision making from the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) representatives - Newcastle were last season's most favoured team and they are this season's second most favoured team.

Manchester United Have Won The Premiership

Manchester United yesterday secured the Opening Championship in the Premiership after Arsenal were physically intimidated without the protection of the match officials for the third consecutive away match. When we projected this scenario earlier in the season, there were those who doubted our assessment. Click to continue reading...

Dreaming Of A Black Xmas

As the Premiership season reaches its half-way stage today, Uriah Rennie takes charge of the match between Sunderland and Manchester United.
Out of over 750 appointments of Premiership referee and their assistants by the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) this season, Mr Rennie is the first Black face to enter the field of play. Click to continue reading...

"The Beashed Is Unleast"

2
So celebrated Sky's scouse comedian commentator, Rob Palmer, after Julio Baptista had volleyed misery into the heart of Catalunya in last night's el clásico - the final major betting event of the pre-xmas weekend. We must assume that Palmer's inability to speak parallelled the speechlessness of anybody unfortunate enough to bear witness to the six massively corrupted televised matches offered for our delectation and delight.

Maradona To Manage England?

What is reality?
Or, to put it another way, what have Mourinho and Coppell in common?
The creation of fake realities with the widespread acquiescence of the mainstream media is a necessary construct in the process of stealing money off leisure punters. These branded fake entities distort the market view of the masses and the disinformation is utilised by insiders for profiteering, gaining a preferential price and generally establishing a noisy and chaotic environment.

Psychopaths Need Nannies

When is a rigged match not a rigged match?
When the rigging is perpetrated by the bookmakers and/or the footballing authorities. That's when.
There is a flip side to this scenario - woe betide anybody else frigging about and rigging...
UEFA is currently investigating fifteen matches from the early phases of this season which revealed suspicious betting patterns. Click to continue reading...

Learn To Burn

All management structures have their strengths and weaknesses. Any rating of an organisation must be founded on both the infrastructural robustness of the body and the interactions of the key individuals with their unique professional profiles. As it is in the wider world of business, so it is with football. Click to continue reading...

Dirty Dozen Referees Revealed By Bum Ref Index

4
Last season, Mark Clattenburg was the best referee as measured by Football Is Fixed's Bum Ref Index. In an underachievement of some magnitude, the man is this season rated the most incompetent of the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) referees.
The Economist's Big Mac Index, on which our slightly subjective league table is based, utilises the econo-myth of purchasing power parity to compare currencies while we compare referees negative impact on the games in which they officiate using our privileged position as market analysts.

Core Competencies Create Skewed Career Options

5
It has never been like this before and it will never be the same again - there is no better definition of the basic matrix of all financial markets. Constant evolution drives the markets forward as these multidisciplinary playgrounds are complex beyond the static realities of a pure science. That is why it is so interesting.
In parallel with the not-so-random walk of the markets, march the career opportunities related to analysts. Click to continue reading...
