yeh just saw that on soccernet

one less option for the bookies and the punters ( and i doubt that'll be treated like a 'scratching' )

there's probably a cockney accent joke, along the lines of  "you scratch my back and i'll see you right guvnor", lurking about somewhere - but i'll not bother

On returning home, he said: "We all helped the police with their inquiries, but it doesn't directly concern me, it's other people involved.

"I've been answering questions to help the police. I am not directly concerned with their inquiries."

Redknapp confirmed that he had been arrested and said: "They have to arrest you to talk to you, for you to be in the police station. I think that's the end of it, it didn't directly concern me."

Mmmmm...

not only a talented manager, he has an ability to re- interpret reality to suit his own needs that would make a politician proud!

I'm sure the bobbies would not appreciate the extra paper work if Redknapp became Minister of Police

Bobby - "Hello, hello, hello, - your arrested"

youf - "f**k off pig' what for?

Bobby - "I just wanted to ask directions but under the new law I've got to arrest you to talk to you."

youf - Dats oright den, where ya wan go?

theworldgame.com.au reports he's been released - going to great pains to tell everyone it's "not directly him"...
 
Which sounds like an admission of some form of guilt...
