It makes me feel a little bit sick when I read headlines like this "Six arrests in football match-fixing investigation" as on the BBC website today.
I feel sick because someone is playing around with our game for the sake of gambling and money.
And that threatens the integrity of our Beautiful Game. Which makes me feel sick.
Apparently six men (including three footballers) were arrested by the National Crime Agency (NCA) over suspected international illegal betting. But none of the investigations concerned "professional clubs" (whatever they are these days).
The NCA was reported to be working closely with the Gambling Commission and the FA.
The FA said: "We have worked closely with the authorities in relation to these allegations. The FA will make no further comment at this time due to ongoing investigations."
We can't have this sort of scum threatening the integrity of our game. Let's hope they're all wheedled out and locked up.
