The majority of them stop earning totally at 35. The difference between 2m and 8m is huge when it comes to your children and grandchildren Well I completely disagree, given that I'm a normal person on a relatively normal wage and realise that £2m a year is a mad amount to stack up over 10 to 15 years and is more than enough to be very wealthy for pretty much as long as you like. They can't even spend it all on sniffing coke out of strippers' arse cracks ffs, the argument holds no water.

Also - mo' money mo' problems.

It takes not understanding football whatsoever to a whole new level not being able to comprehend why people have a problem with the Chinese stuff, so I for one am absolutely flabbergasted that TCD is putting this forward as his opinion. £2m a year or fucking £8m a year, it's all mad money and you'd have to be an absolute moron to squander it. The argument about going where the money is holds absolutely no water with me and never will. Not at the levels we're talking. There is no comparison with real world jobs at all, these aren't people whose first concern is to make ends meet.

Well Ings can only get better.

Yeah I'm not saying it's specific to the Premier League, savings should be passed down to customers in every walk of life but then we're talking about my political views and I can't be arsed getting started I see both sides, I'm just saying people seem to forget that the money is coming directly from supporters when having this conversation and there's far too much of it being taken imo. It's absolutely no wonder that so many people choose streaming games illegally these days, this is almost a carbon copy of what happened to the music industry when people started rightly feeling ripped off when faced with a free alternative.

That's a bit different and I'm not really sure how you control that given all the factors at play. It's the most popular league of a global sport at a time when live content is more valuable than ever. Honestly, I think the ticket prices for Premier League matches are, on the whole, very reasonable. I'd be much angrier at the fact my cable TV subscription doesn't give me access to every game. Average away ticket costs about 40 quid and I've paid 55 to go to Stamford Bridge, so I'm not sure I agree. That's without the outrageous prices for stuff in the ground. The subscription thing is the worst, fuck paying 100 quid a month to see games of Sky and BT's choosing, it's not very good value at all for the customer. If you were bang into it then you could be paying out a few grand a year of your post-tax earnings while average footballers are getting paid 100 grand a week these days. IMO this shouldn't be the case.

I'd rather have had him tbh, think it's pretty short termist to think otherwise unless you don't really rate him. Reckon January was our best chance of getting him and it's gone now.

Aye a fat arse is for life, not just for Christmas. Something a lot of people forget about fat arses in my experience.

There's too much money in the game anyway though, the price of Sky/BT subscriptions and tickets etc is obscene. Agree that any money generated should go to those providing the entertainment and have always said that, but there's too much cash coming directly out of fans' pockets and also not enough of it going towards grass roots and development of English players.

I remember with this 39th game stuff they were saying it should be seeded based on league position, giving the haves yet another advantage over the have-nots. It's pathetic.

That and Gareth Barry apparently being one of the best players of all time or summit. Mad little cunt's off his tits.

Is this some kind of sick joke

Thought he started quite poorly and nervously the other day but grew into it and was really solid and composed thereafter. One block in the second half in particular was vital. It's a good sign if he's adapted to a position that's alien to him this quickly, hopefully he'll be in the mix for the wing positions going forward.

In the days before Ebola

He must mean meat and 2 veg

Utter bellend.

I haven't really been reading the thread, was a heartening performance yesterday though given we really need someone to plug the gap in that position for a few weeks while better players get back to full fitness.

Didn't even look like he had back to work blues yesterday, which is admirable after so long off on annual leave.

They were honestly only interested in trying to make the game scrappy, abhorrent performance and I'd have been livid if we let it slip as we had enough chances and pressure to win 3 or 4 games.

Absolutely ran the show today, pretty much a 10/10 performance.

Was seriously impressed with him, hardly put a foot wrong and caused lots of problems.

Tbf to Carver I'd have bigger fish to fry if my face was composed of corned beef as well.

Hope he mbembas his passport.

We keep signing players vaguely similar to Coloccini and expect it to work out. It's crazy stupid if we do actually want to stay up.

anyone with half a brain cell could see it coming too. thx m8
