We have to use this pic by law, right?

It’s something of a surprise that Maradona hasn’t made our YCNMIU series before, but here he is at last.

On his way to announce Argentina’s 23-man World Cup squad, Maradona knocked over a cameraman in his car. Not particularly funny, I know. What qualifies this for YCNMIU is the fact that on doing so, the once great footballer and now crazy coach leaned from his car yelling:

“What an asshole you are. How can you put your foot under the wheel, man?”

He then announced a squad containing six strikers. The man’s a loon but if he wins the World Cup there will clearly have been method in his madness.

Andrew Andronikou: He knows what he's doing...honest...

Yes, it’s Portsmouth Football Club again and the ongoing saga that is their debt problems. And we though the UK as a whole had issues!

It seems that the self promoting administrator Andrew Andronikou has mistakenly listed a company – Canterbury Europe, a former shirt sponsor – as a creditor, to which Portsmouth supposedly owed £1.99 million. A quick check by The Guardian, however, has shown that Canterbury in fact owe Portsmouth £1,862,724.67!

That’s a £4 million swing in favour of the struggling FA Cup finalists. Ok, it’s a drop in the club’s debt ocean but as The Guardian pointed out in their article it could go quite far in terms of getting Portsmouth out of administration.

It must come as quite a relief to Portsmouth supporters that after a year of dodgy owners and board members their club is now in the safe hands of a qualified administrator in Andronikou…

We, like many others, have gotten hold of the full list of Portsmouth Football Club’s creditors and in amongst the usual players, agents, tax man and other football clubs are some VERY funny outstanding debts.

Don’t ask me why, but a team of scientists in Brighton are wiring up football fans with electrodes in a bid to try and come up with the best chant to use at the World Cup.

That the words “scientist”, “electrodes” and even “Brighton” should never be used in the same sentence as “football” is bad enough. That there are football fans willing to be linked to machinery and measurement equipment in this ridiculous “experiment” (a word used often by Chelsea, Liverpool and England to little effect, you might remember) just makes it worse.

“The idea is we wanted to identify the power of the 12th man and do something to help England win the World Cup.

“We hope it will catch on with fans on the terraces and we can do something to help the team.”

Said crazed Brighton boffin Duncan Smith. Mate, it won’t. Or if it does we don’t know what the World (Cup) is coming to.

Still, I suppose it beats putting mascara on rabbits or trying to find out how many corn flakes you can put in a hamster til it explodes. Or does it?
