Only in England...
Old Asia hands love a good tale that highlights the incompetence of their host country and will sagely add that 'what do you expect, only in Indonesia' or 'this is Thailand.' The moral high ground is of course a comfortable place to sit and mock others shortcomings but what happens when a mirror is shoved in front of their face? Then they may be less condescending on the country they choose to call home as they realise the bullshit that goes on back home.
1 - the never ending farce at Liverpool. Persebaya are literally tearing themselves apart in Indonesia but so far there are no journos sending tweets every few moments about a couple of good ole boys who seem to think Texan law trumps English
2 - people still employ Sven Goran Ericksson despite years of achieving nothing more than hefty pay offs to be released from extravagent contracts
3 - international footballers going to court to stop red tops spreading tales of their sexual misadventures
4 - the England captain having it away with a team mate's missus then the media turning on the cuckolded one for letting his country down
5 - Arsene Wenger believing Arsenal can win the Premier League without a goalkeeper
6 - Sam Allardyce believing he can coach AC Milan or England! Meanwhile in Indonesia Persema talked about changing their coach after two games. After four they're top of the table!
7 - Ian Rush, he who once said being in Italy is like being in a foreign country, fancying managing Wales
8 - how many times do you hear about footballers forgetting to take their passports to the airport?
9 - 66% of Arsenal fans polled on the official website felt that their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea the other week was an improvement on their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea last season
10 - English kids, alienated from ever richer and ever more arrogant footballers turn to aging football hooligans for their English literature lessons.
12 - it took Liverpool half a decade before deciding to get rid of Rafa Benetiz...even though his signings got more and more looney and his demeanour got more and more Allo Allo-ish.
