Sensationalist headline of the day

From the Daily Mail (but of course): "Manchester City and Carlos Tevez dragged into match-fixing scandal."

Followed by the lede paragraph:

Manchester City and star striker Carlos Tevez have inadvertently found themselves embroiled in a match-fixing scandal, although it is clear that neither the club nor player are guilty of any wrongdoing.

Ace legal work, kids!

"It turned you into a member of a new community, all brothers together for an hour and a half, for not only had you escaped the clanking machinery of this lesser life, from work, from wages, rent, doles, sick pay, insurance cards, nagging wives, ailing children, bad bosses, idle workmen, but you had escaped with most of your mates and your neighbours, with half the town, cheering together, thumping one another on the shoulders, swapping judgments like Lords of the Earth, having pushed your way through a turnstile into another and altogether more splendid life."
