Why is it unhealthy for footballers to seek out jobs that pay them more? Do you judge your coworkers when they leave your workplace for another company that pays more? Footballers are somehow supposed to be saints who care about the fans more than they care about themselves. To these guys, it's just another job. It's a ridiculously high paying job, but it's just a job. They will work for the highest and most comfortable payer. Same as everyone else in the economy. And yet people will judge them for doing this. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. I'm sure trophies and all are great, but for the majority of footballers who aren't that good, they won't ever win a trophy anyway. They play to sustain a good lifestyle. They play to earn so that their kids and grandkids have a comfortable life. Or so they can make sure their parents have a comfortable life. It's unbelievable that people judge footballers that want to move to a club that would pay them more. As if they wouldn't do it in a second in their normal jobs. There are many considerations to a job. Pay is one. Comfort is another. Working conditions is another. For footballers, the latter two are pretty much the same everywhere, right? It's just the pay that's difference. Fair play to the players that look out for themselves because if they didn't, the owners sure as hell wouldn't. You think Ashley would pay a single pound more than he actually has to? Wholeheartedly agree with this. I know us as a fans have a different relationship with a club, but as a worker, I'll seek a higher-paying job without thinking it much. Why footballers can't do the same? And their careers are much, much shorter than a regular worker's. Not everyone just chases money Especially if it means the difference between 140k a week and 150k a week. It's a completely different thing to me chasing 25k instead of 22k a year.

No shots and 8 fouls. Sounds a class game.

Judging by stats we're 34% possession and no shots. Class.

Willian is so crap, man. Can't actually pass.

Can we ban everyone on this page?

Dan needs to sort his work safe script to stop Vines from autoplaying/appearing. Get on it, boy.

We're going to need more names for it to avoid repeating ourselves too much. Injury desk Pain plank Medical beam

They may as well make all tickets £10. Pack out every stadium so it looks good for their beloved TV games. Plus, relatively no money is being made from fans at the game now.

Derek 'the hatchet' Wright has outdone himself here. Must just have been punching him in the ribs for the last few months.

How does he keep getting given money?

I don't like this any more. I can't associate with anything about English football. It's completely fucked and I don't care.

Agreed, just means Dortmund have a lot more leverage to negotiate with than they did before what with that clause an all. ow

Surely there's no grounding for it? You can't realistically moderate every single comment.

Sorry, it's at 12:50.

Why does he think this will endear him to the fans? It's as if Pardew is going to come back or som..... oh god no.

Why is he saying these things!? Monumental fanny.

reckon most of the bottom 12 chairmen are just frantically saying "DON'T get relegated" at the start of every season.

Useless? He's shown nothing ever to suggest he's useless very talented player and very exciting. Hope he moves from Chelsea before he gets wing-backed.

Girl was freaky. Dunno, thought it was creepy but definitely interesting, mad that it was seen as such a privilege to be kept there. The Ballaro where I lived was ace, the old market and all that. Plus if you were there as a tourist you can just have cappuccini and cannoli all day, what's the problem? What are the catacombs?

RodaJagerbomb is good, although I'm sure I've used it before...

Creepy and weird absolutely fantastic.

It'll be the same reason Pardew did - it's not completely his choice. Would any person who has made a lot of money allow a mong like Bruce (or Pardew) to spend their hard earned millions?

He has an outrageous cross on him, that's about it. Seriously though, his ability to hit the ball at a complete right angle is brilliant and useful.

Bruce alluded to the fact that he only picked players who played for the team. So he left out the likes of HBA, Ramirez, Hernandez, Ince. They somehow got sucked into a relegation battle after that.
