Just seen this in a story about bizarre clauses in footballers contractsâŚ
No games for Oxlade-Chamberlain
Liverpoolâs Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a rather bizarre clause written into his contract when he was at Arsenal, which in some ways forced him out the door at the Emirates.
Alan Gernon explained the clause in his book, The Transfer Market: The Inside Stories.
A section reads: "Following Alex Oxlade-Chamberlainâs move to Arsenal in 2011, Gunners fans became increasingly frustrated with the midfielderâs lack of playing time.
âHe was predominantly used as a substitute, often around the 71-minute mark. After his contract details emerged, it all became clear: Arsenal were obliged to pay Southampton ÂŁ10,000 every time he played 20 minutes or more.â
The Karate Kid at 1m30s was brilliantâŚ
How many were each side down to at the end? I lost count of the number of red cards given.
I think it ended 8 a side. Trying to find out who the sides were.
Whitehawk v Three Bridges in the Isthmian League, South East Division.
Only red cards thoughâŚ
Iâd watch this over the Prem 
Whitehawk had a load of ex- (EastâŚ) sorry, Swaythling players a few years ago, playing in National League South. Richard Hill went there as manager and took Dan Harding, Ben Strevens and others with him. Strevens left to come back and manage at Ten Acres and Hill moved on. Hadnât realised they had been relegated twice since then.
I miss Sunday morning football 
You really wouldnât want to live in the Whitehawk area.
Agreed, but the ground is on the edge of the suburb so easy to avoid the locals. Been a couple of times, mainly for the novelty of being able to take a beer onto the stands and being able to move seats at half time. Fans seem a decent bunch, not sure many of them are actually from Whitehawk.
True - On match days the locals are probably out shoplifting or something.
I may be very biased as some cacker from Whitehawk nicked my motorbike and trashed it when I lived in Brighton.
The Wealdstone Raider always speaks highly of them.
Youâre not biased itâs a rough area, I used to work at the Crown Court many moons ago and most of the indictments were from that part of town. The most memorable one was a gentleman picked up by the rozzers running down the street topless with a couple of blood splattered meat cleavers down the back of his trousers who had allegedly been âslaughtering a turkeyâ 
Sounds about right.
