It takes an official statement like this to make you realise how truly boring the Premier League can be.
In Ghana, clubs have to make statements like this.
After studying Mr. Kofi Manu’s ‘pornography’ tape with the assistance of people skilled in linguistics, we have arrived at this decision…

The tweet was the beginning of an explanation from Ghanaian league champions Asante Kotoko to address the accusations from football administrator Kofi Manu about why the Kotoko players were tired and had lost to Algerian side El Eulma last weekend which saw them eliminated from the African Champions League.
“These players do not sleep. I tell you all the time, they don’t sleep,” Manu told Sikka FM. “The fact that they are in bed does not mean they sleep,” he continued.
“They spend their nights making calls, browsing the web and watching porno!”
But to be fair to the club, they were quick to respond with a massively entertaining series of tweets this morning.
That the meaning of Mr. Manu’s statement is a matter of semantics and is open to anybody’s interpretation. — Asante Kotoko SC (@AsanteKotoko_SC) April 11, 2015
That said, the club can state categorically without mincing words that our players DO NOT spend their leisure on watching pornography

Our players know the concept of a good rest after training. It was recently handled by our team doctor Kwaku Boateng even b4 the Eulma tie — Asante Kotoko SC (@AsanteKotoko_SC) April 11, 2015
