Nobody Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The Anzhi Makhachkala thing is bloody depressing. At least with the likes of Real Madrid and PSG being full of cash, those are still two of the biggest clubs in the world. Man City and Chelsea were at a good level before the money arrived and it's pushed them onto a different level. Even QPR, as mental as that documentary was, they haven't gone wild with their spending and only have a team of Championship/Lower-to-mid Premier League level players. It's just sad to see the likes of Samuel Eto'o who should be at one of the biggest clubs on the planet (and was at two of them) joining a side who were in the Russian second division 3 years ago, are only 8th now, have a 20,000 seat stadium and are located in a fairly shitty area, purely for the amount of money being given to him. Yep. And it's not like he'd be poor if he hadn't moved. He'd still be earning a shit-ton. See, this is what's so weird to me. How much difference can that extra money do when you're already on such an insane wage? Surely quality of life while you're playing should be considered and weighted against the extra money you'd make? I would so much rather live in Milan or Barcelona than in some shithole in Russia, even if I only made £15m instead of £25m a year or whatever.

newsted Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just listening to the bellends on Rayul Rairdiur, apparently Allardyce's style of football doesn't suit the Ammers, who are the home of football, they all agree. Who would have imagined such a thing? Big scary diagonals, percentage football, it was never like this in the past when he kept getting binned by ungrateful Northeners.

The Anzhi players don't live or train in Makhackala, they live and train in Moscow which actually has some very nice and wealthy parts which is where I would assume all the players would live in and socialise. They only ever visit Makhackala for home games, they are flown in, escorted to the stadium, play, escorted to the airport and flown straight back out.
