Not at all. With regards to the 'bate' comment it is due to you being the first to reply to my post. A recent study has shown that the first individual to reply to a post on an internet message board when somebody has stated the comment as 'FACT' to be a person of limited intelligence who is often found to like dressing up in women's clothes and masturbating while listening to Cliff Richard. I'm guessing Summer Holiday is your favourite track?

The word 'Bate' doesn't exist in the context you've used and when somebody says 'FACT' it's usually a cue to launch into a denial of it in principle.

I prefer 'Saviour's Day' for it's sincerity and meaning.

Not that many seem to get dropped except to to the subs bench, and they just continue to get paid obscene money by their clubs of course! Filched off the fans naturally.

If others can get paid millions be they footballers/EU politicians/businessmen/city traders best of luck to them. Dont be jealous just find something you are good at and make your own money.

WTF! People are pointing a gun at their head and saying give me the money? Or fans have a choice of watching their team or not and paying the rate the club charges or not.

Get real. You're advocating a system of Government interferring (and f*cking up) into all walks of life and a totalitarian state. You really ought to accept that giving people freedom of choice in what they do with their lives no matter what you think of their actions (assuming its legal) is true freedom. How about if someone compained about you using the internet - a profligate waste of electrons and should be banned! How would you like your freedom restricted. How about moving to Cuba - you'd like it there

I fail to see the parallel. Infact your response to other posters views has been very extreme suggesting you have a problem with other people's opinions. Also I fail to see anyone suggesting Government involvement 'in all walks of life' People are are entitled to express their opinions (as you are) without being told to go to Cuba just because YOU disagree with them. I think you're the one who is advocating censure and attempting to curtail free speech.

just pointing out the logical extension of their arguements. If they want to have an oppresive totalitarian state and think its a great idea, just pointing out where they can achieve that

What on earth are you babbling on about? Kindly show me where I am advocating any control by the government over footballer's pay. And where I have suggested any form of overcontrol by the authorities over our personal freedoms. I value the freedom to say that I think footballers are paid obscenely high salaries for very little return-especially when it comes to the England team which we saw play Croatia the other night.

You should make sure you know what you are talking about before shooting your mouth off and wasting all those electrons that you are so concerned about!

Ironically Cubans probably have a better health service than we do.
