PIC: Shaun Wright-Phillips is playing so little football that he’s forgotten the basic rules of the game

We're surprised Shaun Wright-Phillips was able to put his socks on before his boots this weekend.

The Queens Park Rangers player made his first Premier League start of the season for the R's in their latest away defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday. In fact it was his first Premier League start since QPR's goalless draw at home to Norwich in February 2013. And SWP's knowledge of the rules was brought into question by this picture of him taking a throw-in. To be fair to the former Chelsea man, it's sometimes difficult to tell whether or not you're on the playing surface. It's not like there are lines or anything. While we all love slagging off a footballer, the real problem is the fact that the linesman is looking directly at the foul throw and seems happy as Lar with the positioning.
