This BBC Headline says it all. I couldn't bear to go and read the whole article but I really think that professional footballers are taking things way too far with their drugs and orgies and designer clothes.
I mean Gaza seemed like a nice bloke in the 90's with his crying and plastic boobs but look at him now - a mass murderer - I really think that people like him and George Best and Jamie Redknap would be better off dead, for their own sakes as well as the general public.
Do you think that now this has happened there will be some kind of public outcry to stop the younger footballers like Wayne Rooney and Gary Lineker (off the Crisps adverts) going the same way?
Perhaps cut their wages, or make them work for charities in Africa, Cambodia or Liverpool? What do you think? I need to see if the public is willing to get behind us???

Yes, it is terrible.
Years ago the late Jimmy Johnstone of Celtic stole a rowing boat at Largs and laid siege to the Isle of Arran using only a sack of potatoes and a lobbing device assembled from a shovel and thick piece of knicker elastic.
The carnage was dreadful though everyone on the island enjoyed a plate of mash that night.
During the World Cup in Spain in 1983, Scotland's Alan Hansen went on the rampage in Seville, sitting astride a Komodo Dragon blowing flames from both ends.
Brazil's Socrates squared up to him on a saddled-up Godzillla and the town was completely flat by morning.
When George Best played for Hibs, one of his favourite pastimes was to take a flame-thrower to Edinburgh Castle and torch American tourists.
But the papers never reporrted it?
Why not?
Because George was going through a difficult patch after crashing his E-type into a wall, telling Miss World to feck off after a weekend of passion in Dublin, punching Eamonn Andrews in the face on This Is Your Life and breaking into Buckingham Palace and stealing the contents of the drinks cabinet.
There was a lot of public sympathy for George and the papers feared the inevitable backlash if they dared to criticise him.
That weekend George failed to turn up for a game with Dundee United but at half-time he suddenly appeared in the director's box at Easter Road taking pot-shots at fans with a Luger pistol.
George was given a standing ovation.
It was that sort of day.
Dundee FC's Bandy Conacher changed sides twice during World War Two (allegedly) and was on personal terms with Mussolini, Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich.
After the war he journeyed to the moon, found the Loch Ness Monster and made a failed attempt to find the centre of the Earth.
So footballers going bad is nothing new.
If something was done about it the world might be a calmer place but I think we would miss their cheeky grins and genocidal antics.
Here's to them I say.
And all who sail in them!

The fanatical Muslim terrorists are firing deadly mortars and rockets at Israeli civilians. they must assume Israel to combat back, and the pity is that Israel is infrequently doing something to resign the assaults sort Gaza. If the Arab terrorists do not prefer Israel to pinpoint them, then in basic terms enable them to resign launching their weapons. that's effortless sufficient that the asker could desire to comprehend this, as could desire to his Arab allies. .

sounds funny, but perhaps you should read some background info about Gazza or Gaza first.
