Ok, so there's shootings in London, car bombs in Bahgdad, suicide bombings in Pakistan, helicopter crashes in Afghanistan, and god only knows what else in this self destructing world we live in. How sad I am at these pitiful human traits. But you wanna know what really got up my nose from reading the Sunday papers this morning? It's the fact that some young oik who has managed to get some talent of kicking a football round a pitch, and yet he is paid £25,000 (yes, twenty five THOUSAND pounds) a WEEK by his old premiership club, even though he now plays in the Championship league. Above all the human self destruction, we got to put an end to this OBSCENE money being paid to (by and large) self righteous, pompous, egotistical, selfish (I could go on) T W A T S.Sky tv, ticket prices, greedy agents, super rich no-marks - ALL OF YOU, IT'S GOT TO STOP NOW. I'm on £22,000 per YEAR, wife, 2 kids, mortgage, car. You lot don't know you're effin' born. There now - that's off me chest.

Baldyoldgit - I agree with you. £22.000 a year is crap when
you think what these footballers are paid. But I tell you wot
got my goat this mornin - Front Page news about two Liverpool
Premiership idols (papers words - and yes say nor more it WAS
the News of the World) throwing the dolly out of the pram. THEN
you turn over the page to read that Blair is actually starting to
bring half of our army home. Since the Iraqi war began all we
have heard about is how dreadful Blair is for sending our boys
in and to think that a couple of footballers have taken priority over
the Iraqi war news its abominable. Still I suppose that is why its
a Snoozepaper and not a Newspaper. (I blame the hubby - he
bought it)!!! AND yeah the other guy was right - you should be
sitting down relaxing it is MONDAY tomorrow.

Like most people here, I agree. But it's not altogether the players fault! After all, if someone offered you that kind of money to do something you are good at and enjoy doing, would you not take it? Nope, it's the clubs, and ultimately you and me who sanction those obscene amounts of money on young, and sometimes foolish men. Not so much me! When the prices went up and up, I stopped going to football matches in person. It's not the same watching the games on TV, but it sure as hell is cheaper! And when some player gets caught doing something stupid, I know he didn't use MY money in doing it! The answer, stop going!

Well said.
You work for a living, earn your money.
What do they do?
They play. And earn, you're right, obscene amounts of money for it.
I couldn't agree more.

You should take up football or robbing banks.
But I am with you, what about Beckham then.
