This place is a breeding ground for mental illness.

Got it.

One in ten was produced by Ray Falconer

One in 10 was also a certain other RF goals to game ratio at Chelsea.

That’s right, Radamel Falcao, the names are too close for this to be coincidence. You can stop guessing now.

Got it.

Goodnight.

This place is a breeding ground for mental illness.

Quite the opposite ...

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

All UB40 members were born in Birmingham

Well first line in Wiki says UB40 are a English reggae and pop band...Reggae originated in Jamaica

But UB40 didn’t, which is what you said

People really will argue about absolutely fucking anything on this batshit crazy site won't they

No they won’t

 

[TheChosenOne]

Well I'm gonna sleep soundly now.

'Breakfast in bed' + Chrissie Hynde ?

One in ten....

Lloris is having an affair with Kane??!!!

 

[NinjaTuna]

"1 in 10". 1÷10=0.1
Hercules has in the past alluded to being 99.9% sure Bale isn't coming back. Thus the 0.1% chance of him coming back is happening

Didn’t take Kane for a bottom tbh

Edit: ...Or Lloris for a top as it happens.

 

[SpursSince1980]

It's hard to know where to focus with this one.. the lyrics? the band name? the song name? the album name? too many bloody options!
i would be a little bit underwhelmed if this was about Lloris and Harry signing new contracts. not that that wouldn't be awesome... it's just not remotely clear why we would need a cryptic for something that prosaic. it's obvious they are on the verge of signing new contracts, as it's been all over the media. so, it's not like it's a secret that needs to be protected by a cryptic.
so, i'm gonna get my hopes up and go with... 1 in 10, is 11, and 11 is BALE!!!!!
i know, i know, i know...

'in' as in balls deep?

Who invited McLovin?

 

[RJR1949]

Haha so this is probably ridiculous and more me trying to fit the cryptic to the player, but....

One in Ten = one player from the 10th ranked team in Europe according to UEFA coefficient rankings.

UB40 was also a German submarine.

The 10th ranked team in the UEFA club coefficient happens to actually be a German team. It's Borussia Dortmund.

Now, here's the kicker. The UB40 sub was ordered on the 22 July.

22 for Borussia Dortmund? Christian Pulisic.


Probably ridiculous, and I'm sure you could fit the cryptic to any player if you tried hard enough, but that's my effort.

Brilliant. Almost certainly completely wrong but still brilliant!

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

'Breakfast in bed' + Chrissie Hynde ?

Chrissie Hynde - Levy keeps Brass In Pocket - Out of contract free signing



Herb & Painkillers are a great combo

 

[SpursSince1980]

Brilliant. Almost certainly completely wrong but still brilliant!

It is brilliant! though, I'm also a little bit frightened by the genius of either the person figuring it out, or the person who came up with it!!

 

[knowlespurs]

lloris and kane new contracts

 

[jedimonkey]

My first thought was it is to do with a goals to games ratio and Janssen is staying

 

[Lighty64]

I hate cryptics, (as I'm not clever enough to work them out), hope this doesn't end up in the "Your all time most notorious piece of ITK" thread in 2025

 

[Finchyid]

Grey Fox disagreeing with this, is positive

Been busy now seen there is 1 in 10 pages !!

I though sissoko's pass ratio had gone up!
