Statistically, drifters, strangers to a town, etc are more likely to be wrongly charged and found guilty of violent crimes like murder and rape than should be expected, while the real culprit, the fine upstanding citizen of the town goes free. This is not only a common theme in literature, from fairy tales to classic literature, but is a factor in Roundworld life. Firstly there is the theme of the outsider as villain.
One of the main themes of the book is the issue of inclusion versus exclusion which is evident in two recurring ideas in the novel. The four of them end up advising the wizards on their football endeavor, which culminates in an intense game between the Wizards and the former street footballers. Juliet works for Glenda, has a crush on Trev, is simple and beautiful, and becomes a famous fashion model. Nutt and Trev, runs the Unseen University Night Kitchen, and bakes the Disc's best pies. Nutt's coworker and best friend, is the son of the Ankh-Morpork's most famous deceased footballer, but has promised his (late) dear old mum that he won't play, but ultimately saves the game. He is also chosen to train the university's team for the big football match. Nutt discovers that he is not what he thinks he is (goblin) and must overcome the fear of his race, (orc) both by humans and by himself. Parallel to this, the book tells the story of four young people. The book includes a satirization of the Mallard ceremony performed at All Souls College, Oxford Thus, in collaboration with the city's tyrant Lord Vetinari, they set out to make new 'official' football rules, which includes forbidding the use of hands and mandating the use of official footballs as opposed to the makeshift balls the street games use. The wizards soon learn that the local version of football (similar to the actual game of mob football) is very violent and deaths are common. Unseen Academicals tells the story of the faculty of Unseen University being forced to choose between (only) three meals a day and playing a game of football, as tradition mandates the game in exchange for their large financial endowment by a wealthy family.
