Well no, not really. It's all about what you can stomach. Just because a number of sports have become corporate playgrounds, it doesn't mean you'll find purity elsewhere. That certainly doesn't exist. And even if you can somehow find that in today's world, it won't be long before that is chewed up too. The only choices you have are which of the lesser evils you are currently willing to turn your face from before they eventually become too large to ignore. Every form of entertainment over the past thirty years has slowly been placed into this vice-like grip where it isn't merely about paying for the services you desire like a good citizen. It's forcing you to pay over and above what is needed just to see the bare minimum, bleeding your pockets dry in the process. The best part is, you are made to feel as if we are in a revolutionary system where we get to pick and choose what we want when we want it. Depending on which side of the fence you sit, that is either supreme selling or deceit of the highest order.

XBOX games that stop every 30 seconds to allow you to buy the next scene - just as soon as the sponsor's meaningful messages have run their 20 minute course. It all sounds ridiculous but look at football, look at so many sports. If we had jumped straight to this parody without all the small steps in between there would be uproar. But by the little steps people get led along and eventually every obscenity is commonplace. People who give a shit need to stick around not disappear.

It isn't ridiculous at all. Little by little, each silent step at a time and before you know we are left without any sort of real option that doesn't feel it isn't being imposed upon by some fucker trying to dip his hand into our pocket when we're not looking.

So Arsene...anyone? :unsure:

I thought he did ok last season. Had a shocker in our last game though.

Am I right in thinking that because our window is still open until 6pm then we could technically still be able to buy playa's from any league?

I use the term 'buy' loosley of course.
