Fact that people from England are gentlemen is well known. I already explained in previous articles who are football gentlemen. For those who didn't read football gentlemen are persons who make result of football game 4:3 or 3:4 with or without possible turn over like team A lead first half team B wins at the end and with 7 or more goals. Real players from far east love to play 4:3, 2-1 and 7+ on same game. That way if some player who is not "in the game" make it 5:3 or 4:4 they still win the bet.

That is why I decided to look around to first half of season in the biggest leagues in Europe. Astonishing and disturbing fact is that there is no gentleman in England because no match ended up with 4:3 or 3:4 in Premier League so far! Here is results grid for the most entertaining league:

Closest to gentleman were Liverpool rivals in local derby and Liverpool win against Everton with 5:2. Wolves and Chelsea were also close with 2:5 Chelsea win. 5:2 and 2:5 have also odd 100, are also 7 or more goals, but it's not my favorite. I don't think clubs in England can hold for much longer not to do 4:3 or 3:4 on some game. With approaching January transfer window they need to collect founds for transfers and what is better way than become "football gentleman" ? :) I hoped Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be gentleman against Burnley, but he didn't, United won with just 0:2. :)

Serie A in Italy started promising with Napoli leading in this discipline, but after few weeks it stopped. Here is result grid for Serie A:

Brescia - Bologna 3:4, Fiorentina - Napoli 3:4, Sassuolo - Inter 3:4, Juventus - Napoli 4:3. Napoli did it two times, Juventus and Inter once. Big clubs, big gentleman! :) Ex Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti came to Everton to boost England Premier League's bad record so far. Think about it! :)

In Spain Valverde's Barcelona made 5:2 three times! Messi Messi! Balon d'or Ballon d'or! :) Osasuna and Real Sosiedad made only 3:4 game in Primera.

There are no gentleman in German Bundesliga too. Closest was Menchengladbach in two games ended with 4:2.

In France only Monaco and Marseille played 3:4 so far.

It's very skinny. From all above we can conclude that biggest football gentleman live at the moment in Italy Serie A. Big clubs Juventus, Napoli, Inter are also big gentleman. Barcelona is more into 5:2 than into 4:3 which is also good. Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG were not even close to this. Result between top 5 leagues is: England 0, Italy 4, France 1, Germany 0, Spain 1.

What do you think in which league will we see next 4:3 or 3:4 football gentleman ? I tip on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. They are great in attack, but can concede goals and with first goal keeper suspended they are favorites to become next gentleman and to lighten face of Premier League! Why not in few days against Anceloti's Everton ? Carlo was in Napoli in first part of season. You know what I mean. LoL. Title might be lost for City, but who cares it's money which is important! LOL :)

Come on Pep we all know you can do it!

Note: This is pure fiction and imagination based on sentences of local Serbian tv commentator who said in nineties there is big illegal gambling syndicate in Malesya lead by "one eyed" which is very influential in top 5 leagues which is ordering results of 4:3 or 3:4.
