Sky televisions football presenter Richard Keys has been threatened with legal action by FIFA because of his constant use of the phrase 'the best league in the world' when describing the English Premier league. FIFA head honchos have taken this step because Keys (52) never fails to do a broadcast without using the phrase at least 4 times, and on one occasion after a dour 0-0 bore draw at the Reebok Stadium between Bolton Wanderers and Hull City he used it 15 times in front of an astonished Jamie Redknapp. Speaking at the time Redknapp said 'even I was shocked at the amount of times wot Richard said the premier league is the best in the world. I mean don't get me wrong, I fink it is the best in the world because I don't fink there is another league wot is as good, but 15 times was a bit too much'. FIFA spokesman Henri Trossalet said 'the phrase The best league in the world, should not be used by anyone describing the English Premier League because as we all know Spain's La Liga is clearly the best league in the world, here at FIFA HQ we have a little saying...how does it go Michel?.......oh yes that's right, the English Premier League is like watching Chimpanzees playing Badminton.....funny but pointless! hehe'. When asked to comment Keys simply said 'its definitely the best league in the world!'.
