The stopper stops this fact before it gets out of hand.

We genuinely have no idea what footballers do of a Friday morning but we would have thought, just over a week before the season kicks off, they would be in some sort of training or meeting, you know, to get ready.

Perhaps Chelsea are on a day off then as their keeper Petr Cech found time this morning to pull Sky Sports News up on a graphic they published.

They posted a list of the keepers with the most Premier League clean sheets and it showed Cech tied on 134 with former Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina.

Cech wanted to make sure that everyone knew he was the top dog.

The actual number of clean sheets by Cech in the League is 161 according to the Premier League site.

In fairness to Sky, they retweeted Cech’s clarification however not everyone was so kind. The first response to Cech’s tweet…

UPDATE: Peter Cech is in Turkey, ahead of a brace of friendlies there tonight and tomorrow.
