That's good to know. Hope the abuse follows him all the way to Crewe or wherever he's going one the could-have-been but now has-been is dumped by city. Horrible little ****.

Wait a minute.

People are being abusive on Twitter?

Why exactly should players stick around, we offer them nothing and that's not an attractive proposition to talented players.

Erm, let me think. Because they get paid tens of thousands of quid a week by fans who turn up to see them week after week and chant their fucking name? More fool us right? But still. Because they could do themselves a big favour and instead of being utterly detached from the planet they live on with the rest of us they could muck in, stick around and face a real challenge instead of running off to greener pastures where the going is easier and the pay is trebled? Oh sure, your average cynical mercenary will go for the easy life and extra pay, no surprise there. None at all. A ****'s a ****. But just once in a while it would be nice to hear from one of these brattish kids along the lines of them having more money than they know what the fuck to do with so why not think a bit about paying something back in terms of loyalty and application to the club that put them on the big stage.

What does it mean to be a fan? What are the key character traits of the fan? Now compare them to the typical traits of your modern footballer. Bit of a fucking disconnect there, wouldn't you say? So we can put up with the ****s who take the cash, fuck off and keep their mouth shut. But we don't much like the shitty little fucks who take the cash and then crap on the mat on the way out. It's right they get a kick in the arse, isn't it? Or should we be sympathising with them like some do?

You expect a player who comes to the club, probably doesn't even support the club to feel they owe the club something? If you've been at a club for many years you have some sort of attachment, but if you've been there a couple seasons then no there isn't any, we're a stepping stone club, that's how players see us and you can't blame them as we're not really that focussed on success.

A player has one career at the end of the day and I can understand the frustration of playing for a club like us who don't really seem to ever get any closer to winning. Little changes, the same problems manifest themselves and we generally bring in unknowns and lose our best players.

If you keep selling your best players, don't expect any others you have to stick around.

A player has one career at the end of the day? Are you serious? Years ago when they earned twice as much as your average factory worker and drank pints in the pub with the fans then fair enough. But today when they're earning in a week what the fan earns in a year or more? Add up the weeks. One season is a lifetime, paid directly from the fans' pockets. Not sure why your heart is bleeding for them. Not sure why it's impossible to think they owe something to the club and the fans because they sure as hell do when all their posturing and hand wringing and agent drivel is stripped away. We have to listen to ****s like Christian Ronaldo claiming he's a slave? And then have sympathy? If they don't support the club the minute the first wheelbarrow of cash lands in their account and the minute the first shirt is sold with their name on the back and at the first chant they hear from the crowd then fuck them, right? It's not the fans that have the problem, it's these greedy ****s. Not saying the clubs aren't just as bad, and these fucking deviant owners. They're all a pile of shit. But that's how the game is these days, now it has been ruined beyond repair. But let's dispense the violin symphony and the "can't blame them", "understand them", bullshit. Like I said, let the fuckers rob the fans but let them keep their mouths shut while they do it. Just that one tiny concession, that 0.01% return, that's all that's being asked of them. Too much?

I'm done with this childish argument and do hope you can find some joy in your life.
