Wisdom Of Crowds Project/ Dietrological Service

13
We still require a few more people for our "Wisdom Of Crowds" Project.
We are particularly keen to attract 'amateur' punters as we are currently top-heavy with professionals - the perils of a skewed readership.
For details of this Project, please check:

Premier League Rnd 1 - Where's The Clever Money Going? #

1
"Top class" growls Andy Gray in conclusion to the outrageously hyperreal Sky pre-season advertisement to promote their football output for next season.
Not content with the fake of Page 3 girls (sic) playing fakely on fake instruments to a fake backdrop of football matches totally tarnished by the gambling industry, Gray suitably defines Sky's product across their various media. Click to continue reading...

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 experiment on ourselves too.

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

"All that remains is a fascination for desert-like and indifferent forms, for the very operation of the system that annihilates us" - Baudrillard.

As our Spectacular Extravaganzas morph into scaled up versions of the "penitentiary theatre" in 'Escape From New York', it is indeed fascinating to monitor the forms of their Theatre of the Spectacle. Click to continue reading...

"To bet or not to bet, there is no question" - states Eric Cantona in Hemisphere Droit's £2.5 million ($5 million) advertising campaign for Partouche Casinos.

In his selling out to the inappropriate euro, Cantona leaves the question unanswered, although his fee from Partouche allows a reading of the Great Man's body language to show where his real sensibilities and financial sensitivities lie. Click to continue reading...

And You Dare To Call Them Terrorists...

0
A police chaplain has blessed the building where Austrian officers will conduct risk assessments regarding the likelihood of a large-scale "terrorist" offensive at the Euro 2008 Finals.
Presumably, any religious "terrorist" worthy of the name will also be calling on divine help in the aid of their cause. Click to continue reading...

"I Will Not Take The Hen-House For The Mansion"

0
Not wishing to make a long nose on the sly, leaving an island of two CCTV cameras to return to one with 4.2 million is a culture shock to the system.
And Her Majesty's Customs and Excise must have been expecting global jihad to be imported on a charter flight from Kapodistrias if the multicultural array of uniformed stasi welcoming us "home" were anything to go by. Click to continue reading...

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

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.

There are some people one may be quite certain about. And David Lacey, the Guardian's football editor, is one such person.

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...

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...

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...

An omnipresent backdrop to my early years in Manchester was the shadow of the München air crash which killed 23 people including not only Manchester United footballers but also the club secretary and two coaches, two members of the plane's crew, a travel agent, a supporter and eight journalists. If it had not been for the heroism of United keeper Harry Gregg, more would have died. Click to continue reading...

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.

Mr Brown Goes Off To Town On The 8:21

Windows like this are liable to demolish prime ministerial careers - not only has Gordon Brown lacked the midas-touch thing relating to England's Rugby Union World Cup Final and their abominable failure to qualify for Euro 2008 but now, after yesterday's draw for the Finals, the treble whammy is completed by the significantly increased probability of a German victory in the tournament.

If you're going to do the corrupt thing then at least you should have the intelligence to do that corrupt thing well.

The Bum Ref Index 2007/2008

Based on The Economist's Big Mac Index which utilises the economic fallacy of purchasing power parity to determine which global currencies are over/under-valued, Football is Fixed introduced the Bum Ref Index last season. This assesses the negative impact that Premiership referees have on the games in which they officiate together with our proprietary individual psychological profiling and the institutional and individual manipulations relating to bookmakers, clubs and other corrupt power loci.
