Why Are Footballers Obsessed With Conspiracy Theories?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2024
- From Matthew Le Tissier claiming atrocities are hoaxes to Rickie Lambert believing that he can compliment water into tasting better and Iker Casillas denying the moon landings, there has been a sudden recent rise in the number of conspiratorial footballers.
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at why footballers appear to be so obsessed with conspiracy theories, what has caused the recent rise in craziness, and - regrettably - the existence of Joey Barton.

Barton might deny he is a grifter, but I deny he was a footballer.
My favourite memory of him is when he came up to Scotland expecting to boss the league, made 8 appearances where he was terrible in all of them and ran off back to England within 6 months, blaming the quality of the league for his failure.
Without the attitude problem he would have been a lower Premiership/Championship midfielder and a footnote of the last 15 years following a respectable career.
@southstandboy that’s being generous, to the point of falsehood. For a so called premier league player he was of average technical ability and only really especially proficient at running about and winding up opposition (and his own team). If Barton was not a complete wrongun narcissist with an ego almost as large as his voided skull, he would be in the long list of obscure footballers forgotten by all but the most hardcores. He never made his name for his football ability, nor for his insights either, but that’s a different matter.
@@A-se2ur He did get in an England squad (although he only played 12 minutes) and enough clubs seemed to be happy to employ him. As I have heard in another video today he was something of a poor man's Roy Keane and he was just about in the era when you could be an enforcer.
I agree he won't be remembered primarily for his football ability though.
He was a decent footballer, I liked him at Newcastle he did probably play his best football for Newcastle (not amazing) though he is a class A weapon when he opens his mouth.
Turns out a fun mixture of limited primary education, little to no secondary education, and being easily mobbed by sycophants who will agree with any bullshit you say because you're their idol/meal ticket leaves you pretty vulnerable to daft ideas.
More so being a participant in distracting the world from anything important.. leads to most being disconnected from reality! That the ones who speak any truth are seen as mad 😂
Although seeing Le tissier break from MSM and begin educating himself.. it’s like watching a child learn how the world really works 😂
@@vegan4life660 If so he's doing a terrible job.
@@soundscape26I did say a child 😂
I knew a lad in Everton then City’s academy and he did f all in school, from year 8-10 he just didn’t go until his club forced him to and then he’d just come once a week if that.
The bird conspiracy is my favourite as the guy who started has even come out and said he just started it as a joke 😂😂😂
Lol what's that one then?
@johnjohnson9182 Basically seems to be that birds are not real.
The Pizzagate one too, a sociologist made that up to document how obviously nonsense conspiracy theories can infect people.
Later he realised people will believe anything, even if it's nonsense to the nth degree.
@@archstanton6102 And that they're government drones and they used quarantine to cover up them replacing the batteries 😂😂
reminds me that Germany has a conspiracy about the city of Bielefeld not being real, which also was started as a joke, but now apparently many people take it seriously
To be fair the writing was on the wall with Lovren and spurious claims when he announced himself to be "One of the best defenders in the world".
To be fair to him, anyone who's played in any of the top leagues is one of the best players in the world at that time, but I take your point!
It's self confidential one of the reason he's rich right now, you need that arrogance
Again to be fair, I think it was in his podcast with Nebuchadnezzar that drew my attention to him.
the year he said that he challenged for the league and reaches both a champions league and world cup final.
Don't want to start my own conspiracy theory, but while talking about Sausage and Egg McMuffins someone has replaced the graphic with a picture of a Sausage and Bacon McMuffin. I reckon it is the work of the Iluminati.
Feel like Joey Barton is publicly applying for a job in GB news
Yep, his managerial career isn't going anywhere and he wants that sweet GBeebies cash
Or a regular column in Mail Online as he’s their new poster boy.
Nah, GB News would sack him once he offended anyone. GB News doesn't like free speech.
@@peteashford3992GBeebies 🤣🤣🤣
@@wolfeflambe Unfortunately the daily mail posted a headline earlier slagging him off so, despite the comments predictable agreeing with Barton and thinking their view is the view of the majority, I don't think even the daily mail like him
Most footballers barely went to school so they’re uneducated. And when you have millions of people idolising you and not telling you what’s right or wrong then you start to think you’re the messiah and have everything figured out
They've figured out life more than the rest of us. I don't know what I'm eating for dinner tonight.
Clarke Carlisle might have something to say about that...He happens to be a very intelligent man
@@ViVeriVniversvmVivusVici footballer's talent is something to be admired, for sure, but acting like that one talent shows they've "figured life out" is ridiculous. In many cases, they're idiots who have nothing but that one talent and a bunch of money because people want to watch.
@@FozzQuaker you found an exception, well done...
@@FozzQuakerone exception out of hundreds of thousands of footballers definitely proves your point
Also a pet peeve of mine... so many people insisting they are interested in TRUTH but then refusing to look at anything that might undermine their BELIEF.
also... politicians walking out of or just failing to attend parliamentary debates.
"Do your research" usually means, keep going until you agree with my madness...@@GrahamMilkdrop
Literally Alf in this video 😂
A bit like this video then.
@@mcahunatv3590 What do you mean? Are you implying that the maker of this video was guilty of not being open to evidence that would change their opinion on some issues?
Personally, I thought that he was far too confident in presenting some things as mere conspiracy theories when in fact they should be held up as examples of things that have been wrongly classified as conspiracy theories having in part or as a whole been proven correct or that have yet to be adequately disproven.
I wonder how the new concussion rules will make this video look in about 20 years
it won't look any different
Unless football outlaws headers, head trauma in football isn't ever going away anytime soon
@@druidmannIm sorry, while a header is not good for you and your health is a farcry from what is normally considered relevant head trauma.
And its certainly no damn concussion.
@@LiftandCoaDecades worth of headers though...
Plus, Alfie, I am still hoping to see a video about how Kazakhstan fuelled sportswashing worldwide. Its move from AFC to UEFA in 2002 has been cited as the 21st century's first sportswashing case given Kazakhstan's authoritarian and repressive methods against its own citizens, and UEFA's inability to address this matter proved fatal as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia and Azerbaijan took up the Kazakhstan playbook to do the same evil businesses as we see today. UEFA's greatest mistake in 2002.
Never heard of this and just looked it up. Would make a great video. Hope he makes it
I feel strange why Kazakhstan competed in UEFA when the country is 100% Asiatic by nature, even though I tried to ignore it until you mention sportswashing. Guess Kazakhstan should be banned from UEFA now.
I kinda wondered about that.
@@Krazy6ix Because you think they would? UEFA is greedy for oil and gas money. Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, UEFA was hooking with Gazprom.
Kazakhstan had killed hundreds of people in Zhanaozen in 2011 and recent protests in 2022 to protect the dictatorship regime of Nazarbayev and Tokayev, yet UEFA's cowardice means we are never able to learn from the past.
Remember the Azerbaijan f1 grand prix race also held the name of European grand prix in its first few races
Have you done a video about players that are loved by rival sets of fans? only example I can think of would be glenn Murray at palace and Brighton but could be an interesting video
Brian Clough at Derby and Nottingham would be another one
Ronaldo Nazario too. He played for Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Last I heard lambert was working as a youth coach for us at wigan. Last thing we need is idiots like this influencing our young players 🙈
The frogs thing is slightly true. The water was tainted and made the frogs change their sex (quite a common amphibian trait).
I remember hearing that. Stopped clocks and all that lol
THEY MAKE THE FRIGGIN FROGS GAY
URGHH
*techno beat intensifies*
Yeah, it sadly highlights that there is a justifiable mistrust of mainstream media, making it even more difficult to break conspiratorial thinking
So not gay at all really! 😉
Before watching this, my very simple and straight forward take:
Footballers spend their youth becoming footballers and at times completely disregarding their education (I'm a teacher, and every year I will meet a couple of wannabe football pros who completely ignore school). Having those giant gaps makes them much more susceptible to fill them with any old garbage.
If you're a teacher then that concerns me..but doesn't surprise me sadly.
@@truthoverlies1820that says more about you
@@greg2502 Hans..why skulls though?..Hans..Are we the baddies?
@@truthoverlies1820 based on the quality of that comment you wouldn't look out of place sitting in one of his classrooms
@@ChrisAlexT so his lessons are crap then?..OK fair enough
You are in your element with these sort of videos about how football intersects with other aspects of life!
Just a random thing, Ricardo Vaz Tê assaulted a friend of mine when he was still playing here in Portugal.
21:10 Let's not forget that the Magna Carta was written 400 years before the germ theory of medicine was introduced.
Conspiracy theory - germ theory both theories!
@@darksidedebbie Yes, but one is viable and the other is not. We see the proof of the germ theory every single day in medicine. Conspiracy theories are nine times out of 10 bullshit. And now you know.
@@darksidedebbie Everything in science is labelled a theory even if it's almost universally regarded to be the truth. So obviously the germ theory even though everyone we know points to it being factual, is labelled as a theory.
What’s laughable is when ordinary people quote the Magna Carta as if it were written for them. The clue in the clause quoted Barons can rebe.
Bro mentioned Nigeria and i have to say as a Nigerian myself I avoid group discussions with other Nigerians because it never takes long for the conversation to veer into the realm of conspiracy theories.
🇳🇬
I heard one that Nigeria kicked out The Red Cross during the last Ebola crisis. Do you know anything about that?
@@carlisroy6666 As a Nigerian, I can tell you that is false. I have never even heard of this. Can you link a webpage?
@@carlisroy6666 that is NOT TRUE
Lol.

Buzzing to see Lee Barry Cattermole finally pop up on one of these 😂
You're very brave doing this Alfie - there are plenty of people who have gone off the deep end who I'm sure will be furious with you for posting it, but it needed doing. One of your best videos yet.
blows my mind how conspiracy deep enders get all offended when you laugh off their bs lol
@@timlamiam Because you are shattering their world given the belief in such conspiracies is central to their existence.
Brave? 😂 😂 😂 probably his worst video ever
@@soundscape26 I'm sure being a current thing enjoyer is central to your existence
@@timlamiam what bs would that be?
To make it even stranger David icke currently resides on the Isle of Wight which is directly opposite of Southampton
Thanks for highlighting this Alfie, excellent video as always
I met Matt Le Tissier when I was eight. He was signing autographs in a sports shop in Worthing (I forget which one, but is was in Portland Road). It made my day at the time.
Very funny, thank you. I was that crazy guy on the train laughing at his phone 😂
29:22 I think it was Mustapha Hadji who believed he could cure injuries by putting a lump of raw steak on them
Is this similar to the time Felix Magath tried to help someone with an injury by holding a piece of cheese to it?
@@chlcrk as a Fulham fan I am sad you reminded me about Magath and his cheese remedy. I have spent years trying to forget it. What were we thinking !
I’ve had a rough few weeks. Some of the ones liners you’ve put in this are absolute zingers. Inward chuckling. Well done Alfie. Thank you
To be fair you video about corners was a very good video.
Made me change my whole outlook on short corners.
Way better than anything barton as ever done
Being a Southampton fan is difficult enough at times but I have to say that watching Matt Le Tissier and Rickie Lambert go off the deep end has been really depressing.
Also add Sadio Mane being a groomer to the list.
You can't mention that one here, it doesn't fit with their cosy narrative@@battlep0t
I never even knew Rickie had gone until I saw this - sad to see. I'd like to think it's just because he is, and always was, as thick as two planks, rather than having any idea what he's saying and condoning. Alas, I know that is unlikely. As for Le Lunatic... 🤮
@@battlep0tit’s not clear he is. If his wife is 19 they could have been in a relationship for three years in this country with no legal ramifications. Have you any evidence they were a couple before that? You might find a big age gap distasteful but it doesn’t make it illegal or immoral
@@molybdomancer195Nothing wrong with an age gap. If a 45 year old dates a 30 year old I see no issue with that.
If you're specifically waiting for a girl to turn 16 so you can date her that's a bit dodgy.
Conspiracy theories and football, 2 of my favorite things combined in a 40 minute video by one of my favorite creators? Yes please
A lot of conspiracies are crazy, but so many HAVE been shown to be true that it's understandable people are more open to them now... It doesn't help that the news is rarely truthful, either.
@@familyread7889 just ignore the biolab from across the street lol
Why would it be so hard to believe the bat theory? Regardless of whether it's correct, it's utterly plausible
@@vjvallance yea, out of thousands of wet markets in Manchuria alone, the highly infectious novel coronavirus just happened to spring up in a wet market two blocks from the highly infectious novel coronavirus laboratory ,, which just happened to be there. So yea, plausible.
I sometimes wonder who's more guilty of spreading the conspiracy theories, establishment parroting NPC's or the tinfoil hat guys...
I have seen this comment hundreds of times and I always say: for example? But never received an answer…
Yes there have been and are conspiracies irl. But I can’t actually think of a conspiracy theory that was around for a while and then actually proven. And I mean a conspiracy theory with some actual specifics. Not just vaguely some rich elites are peds
What major conspiracy theories are true then?
CTE from heading a heavy ball for years could play some part
Because they grow up in small highly regimented lives to get to the top. It doesn't really leave much time for any intellectual pursuits.
In USA we have Aaron Rodgers any Kyrie Irving, case in point.
They get to this point by being good at one thing... sport.
Watching Jamie Caragher and Micha Richards shows that footballers are even terrible at analyzing... football
Don’t put Lauhing Mica in with the theatre of hate actor that is Spitting Jamie. His brain is in his jawline: blame evolution.
After retiring from Football David Icke was Sports Reporter on BBC South Today.....made in Southampton
KNEW IT!!!
Speaking as a Coventry fan I say Hereford can have Icke.
It's a working class sport. A lot of footballers have no academic qualifications and only a primary education, which isn't the only reason for falling for them, but more often than not it is this class of people who are more likely to fall for conspiracy theories. Outside of the time building their careers some are likely to fall prey to the sea of misinformation on social media. Influencers and popular podcast hosts like Joe Rogan have perpetuated lies in our modern day culture wars. Often hysterical and totally at odds with reality. I implore people to listen to Jon Ronson's new series of Spotify or BBC Sounds called Things Fell Apart and discover just how insane these conspiracies are and how they thrive and infect the community.
I feel sorry for u that u trust anything the bbc says..I also feel bad for those who believe everything joe rogan says and can't see that so many ppl like roman are shills of the regime.
Yes, it's those pesky oiks.
Take a look at yourself Lord Fauntleroy
@@mcahunatv3590 go take a sleep ur brain needs it
But then again not everything we hear is true. The news and governments ain't are best friends and they do stuff to make us poorer it's been soo clear, I don't know why but people will laugh at me saying that.
The rich have always known about class warfare. It's incurious goons like yourself that let them get away with hiding it from the rest of us@@mcahunatv3590
I've only just started this one, but...dear god. I think we need to talk about Joseph Barton. Again.
Proper legend
iker not believing in the moon landing made me love him more
Without the defence of pee Real, he would have been on Europa, swimming in alkaline oceans.
Iker is our golden boy. Sad how Real treated him like trash in the end.
Watched you for many years, great videos
Tremendous work as always buddy. 👍
I don't quite understand how two Southampton's best ever forwards have ended up down these rabbit holes...
Hopefully it doesn't spread to my fellow Saints fans!
Something something chickens control the world...
Being Agaisnt the vaccine or lockdowns doesn't mean you are in a rabbit hole bte
You mean how they discovered the truth?
Ah me, the sea.
Maybe they just read, you know... that old fashion thing you likely don't do.
😉
The only difference between a conspiracy theory and truth is time. Where there is smoke, there is fire
So. The idea that the bubonic plague was caused by Jews poisoning wells -- is 650 years enough time to make that true?
Thanks Alfie. Much appreciated.
appreciate u using ur platform uve built off of football to educate(an audience that may skew surprisingly young to due focus on football despite the level of the conversation u bring in ur videos)ur audience on the dangers and (imo)obvious and dangerous shortcomings, misunderstandings/stupidity, and bigotry of a lot of right wave thinking and practice
lmao "unjustifyingly arrogant" a perfect phrase why they always talk like they smarter than u UR THE STUPID ONE
Said a lefty? You couldn't think of something more inteligent? I forgot, that would require reading and educating yourself... not your thing; BBC is enough for you.
🙂
As a trans person it's much appreciated considering the state of discourse online and especially in football about us
Truly great analysis of the shocking invasion of idiotic thinking among mostly former football players. And yes, I think calling Joey Barton a football player insults just about everyone who's ever played the sport professionally.
The higher up the league you go, the worse educated the players are. There's a number of lower league managers and players with degrees; Paul Hurst, Dave Challinor etc. mainly down to not expecting to have pocketed enough to retire at 18 like the Boehly Babes.
Boehly babes 😂😂😂
You’re right about these RUclips rabbit holes. Keep digging.
Rabbit holes are not in RUclips... If RUclips is your source of education and knowledge, you don't have a clue on how the world works.
Your statement about football clubs engendering an "Us vs Them (&Authority)" mentality that permeates everything - was a think a brilliant point.
Excellent,spot on lime usual, good one Alfie.
Hi, would you consider doing videos on the abuses in women's football? Whether that be the Spanish women's national team, Luis Rubiales, and numerous others? Also, I think a good video could be made on the presence of independent academies in Africa, for instance, the impact they are having, potentially developing better players in those countries, such as the Right to Dream academy, and the impact it could have on the European clubs linked to these academies, such as Metz and Generation Foot, and Right to Dream and Nordsjaelland?
Woah…
First tell me why the the girls were laughing about it as soon as they got on the bus after winning the World Cup. There’s video footage of Jenni Hermoso and the whole Spain National team (women’s team) laughing and chanting “beso! Beso! Beso!” (Kiss in Spanish). Why were they joking around if they were going to report it and become victims? Seems suspicious to me
@@matthewhernandez8342 Source?
@matthewhernandez8342 Can you tell me where this video is? I can not find it.
They just won the world cup, so they were possibly laughing at that and being happy. There is also a shock factor where you laugh because something happened that was so dumb. Then after a pause you realise how it was offensive.
Matthew, no.@@matthewhernandez8342
Some people can't handle uncertainty. They can't accept sometimes we can never know the truth no matter how hard we try to find it.
Some people like Barton and Le Tissier can’t handle not being in the news and do anything to get noticed. Le Tissier particularly said he didn’t want publicity but kept coming out with more and more weird stuff. Barton is a pseudo intellectual thug and giving credence to either of them just fuels their narcissism. Being a better than average footballer is all they are good at.
@@Yorkman7 Dunno about the other's but Mr Barton is not a well man. He's danger to himself and the those around him. Like seriously i think he might be bi - polar or schizophrenic. God knows what he might end up doing, i mean look at his brother.
YOIR DEFINITELY WRONG!!!
Because they were kicking a ball around instead of studying
It's not how much you study, but what... That may be your problem, filled with useless and untruthful information... and you think you know. Ha!
And today you fully earned my subscription.
I do think it is a bit of generalization, given the thousand or so players in the EFL yet we can probably only name 10 of them which have said things pertaining to conspiracy theories. I doubt it’s any larger than the general population. A few bad eggs make the whole batch look bad.
Guy believes X = bad egg

@@mickcole2763 I’m just playing devils advocate. I’m not saying if they are wrong or right. Half of the ‘conspiracies’ he mentioned in this video I don’t think are that far fetched. I’m speaking in the sense that if you are going to label conspiracy theorists as bad (which I don’t agree with), then generalizing a whole group based on a few is unfair.
@@mickcole2763 conspiracy nut spreads nutty X nonsense = bad guy
Good stuff Alfie! 👍
This is a masterpiece essay on conspiracy theorists.
I’m showing this to my wife.
I love your stuff but this is special.
Bit sad about Rickie Lambert. I`m not a saints fan, but always liked him as a player coming up through the divisions and making his England debut at like 31.
Tell you what? I had an absolute slag of a glass of water earlier and it tasted like shit. Maybe the lanky fella is on to something?
I absolutely love the surveilance Bird theory. Not because its reasonable or logical but because it was spread from a university Student as a hoax to see how fast such theories can spread.
Joey Barton and Pearl Davis. The combo i WOULD HAVE NEVER imagined.
because people are idiots, and footballers are people.
Are you not a person? Or are you a 'Special' person?
are you a poopyhead? @@mcahunatv3590
As a Southampton fan I must apologise for the insanity of our former players.
A real shame. Le Tissier was such a gifted footballer. It's not so much the fact that he believes things which are objectively ridiculously, but the fact he has been downright nasty at times. His personal attacks on Gareth Southgate were totally unprovoked and showed Le Tissier up as the sad person he really is.
@@themarcopolo2024go home
I feel sorry that Southampton have u as a fan
Why? They have finally made Britain's most boring club with the most boring fans into something interesting! Well done Lambert, Le God, etc!
Le tiss is a legend
LeTish gets a hard-on on Twitter every single time a player goes down with a heart attack. Even if I would agree into looking into the underlying causes of young and fit players collapsing on the field, not even saying "Vaccines", the way he parades it each and every time is honestly twisted.
They're not fit, though. If you're retiring in your mid 30s, your body isn't healthy
With obviously mass Peds in football especially more games played than ever before more will go down cause there put massive strain on the heart
@@petesmart1983how about the excess deaths in the UK since the beginning of 2022? Big rise in heart related problems and cancers (especially in older people) The papers and reviews are out there to read.

Video idea:
How Alfie thinks of Thiago Motta's 2-7-2 formation.
I've always suspected that Tony Blair was actually an Auton from Doctor Who. There's always been something just too creepy about that artificial smile of his and you almost expect his hand to hinge away at the wrist to reveal a blaster.
Ohh, showing my age but he is the only male member of the Planet of Spiders (cross spidering you see) from vintage Dr Who. It was rhythmic speeches that gave him away.
Creepy as they come!
Just an incredible opening
Footballers?
Questioning the official narrative?
DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR!
Previous comment aside, this video cracked me up 🤣 When are you going to start doing standup, Alfie? 🤔🤷♀️ X
Great video, again. I came to the channel for the football; I stayed for the denounciation of "the economic, social and political systems that dictate most of our lives"!
Good to know that such players exist in other countries too. 😅😅
Skilled rich people think they’re smart. They’re often very much not.
That thumbnail is absolute gold 😂
Well, to be honest footballers become very very famous, they don't require that much specialized knowledge, education, or advanced critical thinking to succeed in their careers (compared to other professions), so it kind of makes sense that some of them say the most ridiculous shit. They're very average people who got famous.
Weird comment. They aren’t average people who famous. They have a talent (which believe it or not does require thinking). I know people love come out with the whole ‘footballers are dumb’ thing to make them feel better about themselves but cmon
Like politicians or Chief Scientific Officer during a global pandemic you mean? Don’t get me wrong, no COVID denier me but I’d be careful on the sniffiness regarding intelligence in other professions though. Most of us are products of social engineering at best.
Birds aren't real is a parody
They're mocking conspiracy theories
that's true, but what you're leaving out is that people believed it anyway
That's how Flat Earth started too...

It's quite possible that QAnon started as a parody as well; it sure sounds like one. Doesn't mean it isn't dangerous as hell.

Craziest thing about cupping is that it actually has benefits according to science, but it has nothing to do with toxins like people say. I can't remember exactly what it does but it's something to do with blood circulation because of the skin being sucked off the muscles a little bit. I think.
Is commonly used for muscle relaxation.
Streching the skin/muscle and heat combined.
But toxins? What tf is that even supposed to mean.
superb work Alfie. 👋👋👋
I don't think it's they are obsessed in general. There will be 600 players on the books of Premier League clubs alone. They are often idolised and whilst good at football often don't have a great education. So if one or two preaches conspiracy theories it's not unexpected due to the numbers, media attention and education.
To be fair Alfie does say pretty much that in his conclusion.
"The idea that having a post office within 16 mins from your front door is equivalent to full blown stalinism" - Please point to those post offices, or other amenities, because plans are rather about digital and removing physical services.
Hiring Joey Barton as manager of Bristol Rovers is probably the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to my club, aside from our time in the national league.
I was so glad when he got sacked, and now seeing him go more and more insane with his right-wing grift is quite telling.
The Swedish mockumentary Konspiration 58 is worth a watch (uploaded on here). Sweden didn't host the 58 World Cup apparently 😂
Everyone’s entitled to a different opinion.

That's just a theory... A Football Theory
Can't believe he's leaving 😢
Just because it's a conspiracy doesn't mean it isn't true
Yes but typically they are. 90% of the times.
@@soundscape26 where do you get 90% from ? It may even be higher tbh but my point still stands
Once a conspiracy is proved as true it is no longer a conspiracy. Conspiracy theorist are not interested in proven truth it's not exciting enough for them.
@@MySamurai77 that is incorrect . A conspiracy is not about being true or false , it's a secret plan to gain power for example or to commit a terrorist act . Just because a terrorist act happens doesn't mean they weren't co spiring to commit the attack

99% there lies

Excellent 👍🏾 video 👏🏽
Matt Le Tissier is a great person in real life.
That's all the proof I need. Suddenly his anti-vax tweets seem way less dangerous and ignorant!
@@ConnbineHarvester Exactly, why bother taking the opinion of people who actually know him when you can make your mind up with a few tweets and a youtube video.
Glad I could help.
Maybe I've always thought he's an arsehole going back to the 90's when he was a player and now he's confirming it repeatedly with some style. It's more than "a few tweets", he's relentless. Maybe you're not a great person in real life for defending Joey Barton's mate.@@laandormer
@@ConnbineHarvester I never claimed to be one, you just assumed I was. I said Matt was a great person (which I stand by).

You can also think why European teams are so scared of Brazil curse. Since 2002, teams that beat Brazil in knockout stage are largely doomed to fail, with only France recovered.
Didn’t Germany knock out Brazil in 2014? I can’t remember 🤦🏾♂️
@@kordeljohnson You are correct. A humiliating loss for Brazil that time (1-7). Yet it turned out to be the beginning of Germany’s upcoming disasters.
I wish I could be so blasé about politics like Le Tissier once was. I don't have the finances to NOT know or CARE what the politicians are cooking up to make our lives harder...
Because they are all so well schooled….
As a Pompey fan, you'd think I would find all the Saints bashing in this video funny - however the rise of conspiracy theories in recent years is truly alarming.
In fairness to former Southampton players though, Matt Le Tissier's fellow Channel islander, Graeme Le Saux is considered one of the best educated and intelligent footballers of his generation.
That ‘Bill of Rights not Bill of Gates poster at around 15:36 goes hard though

Is it not just a case (as you hint yourself) that a certain percentage of the population have fallen for these mad conspiracies and the numbers of footballers who have done likewise is probably statistically the same? Surely the government must keep tabs on the number of divies and their jobs, and can supply a thorough journalist, like yourself, with the appropriate stats? Well that's what the pigeon on my window sill thinks anyway....
2/3 of them are not conspiracies though and the governments don't need to do anything they are the fuckers messing all our life's up, I say fair play to the farmers and the French.
Arthur has been a steadfast pigeon to you and this outing is both unworthy and disloyal
