PREMIER League clubs should stop keeping score so that everyone can just enjoy a nice game of football, the culture secretary Andy Burnham said today.
The minister has also called on England's richest clubs to 'share their wealth' as the government attempts to impose its namby-pamby, socialist bullshit on professional sport.
Mr Burnham said: "It should not be about one team being better, or having more fans and therefore more money than the others; it should be about fresh air and making friends.
"It's only fair that the rich clubs should give half their money to the poor clubs. After all, it is the rich clubs' fault that they are so much better at what they do.
"And after a while everyone will be just as bad as everyone else, but that's a good thing because it means that everyone will be the same."
Mr Burnham said he also wants the players' parents to become more involved in running the clubs.
He added: "I'm sure Arsene Wenger wouldn't mind if Theo Walcott's dad took charge of the mid-week training sessions, and perhaps Denilson's mum could wash the kits or bring along some carrot slices and dried apricots for a tasty and nutritious half-time treat."
Under Mr Burnham's plans Formula One drivers will have to use bicycles for the last three laps, while professional darts players must enter into a weight-loss agreement with their local NHS trust before being issued with a licence to handle sharp objects.
Meanwhile England cricketers on tour in Bangladesh this winter will have to live with poverty-stricken local families so that they can gain a valuable insight into the lives of people from different cultures.
