I don't know why people get so upset.  They buy the Sky subscription, the season tickets, the merchandise and the papers.  They fund the circus.   

As for the wages players earn, good luck to them.  They may be uneducated halfwits that otherwise would have been raised in a youth offenders home, but when I look at some of the players I used to watch when I was a kid struggle to survive, or unable to walk because they're on a waiting list for a new knee, then I don't have any grudges about some kid earning thousands each week.  If they blow it all then tough luck, they had their chance.  Besides, there always was huge amounts of money in football.  The difference was the club owners used to cream large amounts off to fund their lifestyles.  And that was far worse in my opinion. 


Well said, matey!

As Mr. Millwall said, football in the lower leagues is more like the proper game - being a die-hard Leeds United fan, I have to say we are playing some wonderful football at the moment, and if we get promoted (gonna be this or next season, surely), then I hope Simon Grayson and the squad staff can keep the team playing this attractive football, no matter who comes into the team and who we play.

Well Leeds are looking good for it today.Must say i've always liked Simon Grayson.He had some rough times over the last 2/3 years when Leeds just missed out.Like in the playoffs to Millwall and Grayson was very dignified in defeat despite the pressure on him.
That division is up for grabs this year i recon,maybe only QPR showing any consistency and even they went through a phase when they could only draw.

I have been losing interest lately in the beautiful game. The money that is involved is obscene and the antics of the 'stars' disgraceful. I, of course, contribute to this state of affairs by paying for sky sports. I almost cut my nose off to spite my face by cancelling it last month.
When Liverpool sacked Rafa Benitez, they had to honour his contract, which cost them £6 million. Today, I hear, that Roy Hodgson, after a few months in the job, has walked away with £7 million.
Laugh or cry?

Yep, talk about easy money!! >:( Sven Goran Eriksson has made a profession of it - he did it with England and then several English football clubs. I think he's now an expert in being a successful failure. ::)

Tut, ya big nonce.

You need to take the Barmy Army approach to sport. Have a party win loose or draw. If they win even better.

Don't go sulking off to tha gallows just koz they lost a few games, ya big girl!

I tell ya what, I wish football was the most important thing in my life.

Although I have to agree with you on something. They are shit aren't they?  :P

ive got nothing against footballists earning lots of money. theyre the best at what they do (most of them) and theyre taking advantage of it.

id do the same.

one thing i cant stand though is when they go to these orphanages and stuff like that knowing that one weeks wages could sort them all out for the future.
