The sickness in the Premiership

[Dour]

While Joorabchian is still welcomed from one directors' box to another, you have to wonder about both the tolerance for spivs and the credulity to allow something like the following to go unchallenged:

"He wasn't [protesting about United]," said Kia Joorabchian, the man responsible for finding Tevez a new club. "Before the game he said: 'Someone told me there was an article in the newspaper about me last week' and I said, 'Yes, there was and they were saying you were not a prolific goal*scorer.' So he said: 'I want to know where the pressbox is because I want to go and show them my ears if they wrote that."
