England Header Rule

A rarely exercised rule in football where it doesn't matter if a player is committing common assault on the goalkeeper (which is known in the rulebook as a "foul"), the headed goal is legitimate because an England player scored from it - because, as we all know, England deserve to win every match they'r ein because they'r ebetter than everyone. Any referee that doesn't know this is obviously a complete idiot that cannot do his job properly, and therefore deserving of death threats.

queer duck 

A cartoon NOBODY has ever seen (the fact it hasn't even got five votes on the IMDb proves this), but everyone knows of it because it was on that 100 Greatest Cartoons thing - instead of Invader Zim or Ghost in the Shell.

takeshi kitano 

Quite simply one of the best directors in the world right now, as well as being the epitome of cool in his acting persona, "Beat" Takeshi (taken from his stint in stand-up double act, The Two Beats) in most of his own films, as well as the likes of Battle Royale, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Gonin and (oops) Johnny Mnemonic.

Best known for his Yakuza films (such as Sonatine and Brother), as well as Hana-bi and the truly fantastic Zatoichi - both of which winning the Venice Film Festival in 1997 and 2003 respectively.

Also known for presenting Takeshi's Castle - which makes as much sense as Francis Ford Coppola's Saturday Night Takeaway if you think about it. Not to be confused with the qually brilliant and prolific (if borderline deranged) Takashi Miike.

Jose Mourninho 

1.) Current manger of Chelsea (at least on the date of posting).
2.) The least popular Portuguese person in human history.
3.) A bit of a paradox - he's an arrogant bastard, but he says far more intelligent and insightful comments than Alex Ferguson ever could.
1.) "Who'se that bloke in the dugout with the designer stubble and bad trenchcoat?"
2.) "Who'se that bloke instigating death threats against referee Anders Frisk, just because his team lost to Barcelona?"
3.) "Who'se that bloke who nailed it on the head by saying an interview at Porto from the Portuguese press was verbatim so nothing could be taken out of context, which triggered nervous laughter from the assembled tabloid hacks at the last press conference?"

The old word for chav which, frankly, sounds a lot better and less self-consciously constructed to sound obnoxious by a group of journalists on a slow July nesday.
"Oh great, another pack of townies coming to kick my head in because I don't conform to their world view."
