    I've given up on football

    its stupid, it just doesn't make sense. You can't win in it unless you have petro millions, you either go one way of spending more than your club earns to achieve short term success or you spend little like us and accumulate profit but then the fans are angry because money isn't being invested in the club? Its all stupid anyway, all that kicking of a ball for a few trophies. Football clubs just don't make sense as a business they don't perform how a business does. The alex song and van persie transfers were the final straw for me.

    Sure you can win in it, you just need the bloke you paid 13m to score rather than miss from 6 yards.

    Harsh be fair he lacked a little bit of sharpness.

    Realistically though, he's unproven he played 2 seasons in the French top league and that's it, he may turn out to be very good, equally this level may prove too much for him.

    I envy you. I waste far too much time following football instead of doing something useful.

    Other sports are better for a drink and a laugh but I guess you can't just end an emotional attachment that, for most people, runs through families.

    no you don't need petro millions.

    But the fact is a club like united are prepared to pay rooney 200,000 per week to keep him. We on the other hand are prepared to pay the likes of denilson 50k and flog those that reach the ceiling of our arbitrary wage structure.
