The Offside Trap : Reading between the Lines

In this section of the blog, we bring you news stories that are hot in the footballing world, and expose the truth behind the stories that the writers were too blind to see, too yellow to reveal, or too well paid off to confess. By "this section", I of course mean something that promises of future entries but fizzles out and dies before people even know what it is (kinda like Antonio Puerta.......too soon? yea too soon....) In the rich history of reading between the lines, the 3 main vices that propagate said between-reading are :

The Understatement : Modesty and Political correctness usually cause dialled down versions.
Pep Guardiola : We expect a tight competition tomorrow against ManU, between two evenly matched teams, but I hope our quality will shine through in a closely fought encounter.
He meant : We are going to bumrape ManU, and their families, and anyone remotely connected to them. Even their Facebook friends are going to wake up in the morning with a sore rectum.


The Brutal Truth : Everyone knows the truth, but its best for everyone if we kept up appearances..
Pep Guardiola : We would love to have Cesc in our team
He meant : We don't want him, we don't need him, we don't like him. But we don't want those English bastards to have him either.


The BillClinton : Bare faced lies, named after our example
Bill Clinton : I did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky
He meant : I did not have sex with Hillary Clinton. No one has.


In this edition of the Offside Trap, we focus on three people who cared enough to keep up appearances, but were laughable enough personalities for us to heartlessly expose.. the Brutal Truth.
