Give us the most common myths in football.
I'll start with a few Liverpool ones:
Parry was incompetent.
The Americans are evil incarnate.
Lucas can't pass.
Balague is a credible source of info.
Since moving to NOTW Bascombe only tells lies and has no real sources.
 
Benitez has ever had a player bought or sold at Liverpool in his time here that he didn't personally sanction.

Pele scored 1000 goals. Bollocks.

he did score a 1000 goals but its a every goal he ever scored whereas most pros goals are recorded when they turn pro.

There's a saying in Africa: 'When you score that number of goals you no longer get the horn'.

I think its from youth level onwards. a bit of a farse really, it's like counting robbie's and owen's goals when they were in the reserves.
 
When a player is signed for an 'undisclosed' fee/amount, its either (a) the selling club is getting peanuts and do not want to risk incurring the wrath of the fans or (b) the buying club has been held to ransom and paid a huge fee, larger than what would be the original valuation of the player.

Jeezus the Mellor (who scored more than both combined) is the English Pele!!
 
Neil Warnock soiled himself during a Sky interview on five separate occasions during his time in charge of Sheffield Utd.

Please let's not get started on the Parry issue again.

Agree with all the others.
 
Ginsoak once auditioned for the CBEEBIES channel and made a basic error:

There is such things as "free" signings and "free" money in football.

Geoff, I cannot believe what I'm reading, 'ere! "No such fing as free signings"?? George Graham always used to aim to sign free players every season! And I've 'eard of players signing for free hundred thousand, free million and sometimes twenty-free million. And I've 'ad more than free clubs! This chump don't know what the hell 'e's talking abaht!
 
If you didn't really expect to be in a position to win the title when the league began, you don't have the right to be disgusted at the fact that you pissed the f@#!ing thing away whilst leading it.
