Footballers sleeves

[vernon]

Overpaid!

Overpaid is sufficient as a criticism.

What they do with their money is entirely up to them.

Sleeves?

Like mine....

Watching the football it's clear that a lot of players have too few brain cells and too much time on their hands. I'm referring to the silly kids haircuts (Ashley Cole, Clichy) and the sleeves of pointless, naff tattoos that are becoming ever more popular. Cole is 30 years old for God's sake. It may just be coincidence but the better players, in my opinion have no tattoos/normal hair e.g. Ronaldo, Silva, Alonso.

I think players owe it to the fans and their clubs to display maturity and commitment and demonstrate they spend less time at the tattoo shop and hairdressers and more time training/community/charity work.

Overpaid ponces !

miserable old git.

Not if you play(ed) for Rangers and you are/were spending someone else's money it's not.

Football - Opium of the masses if you ask me:

You have just reminded me of a spectator at my home town team, Prescot Cables, many, many years ago. Cannot for the life of me remember his name but can picture his face and remember he was always to the right of the players entrance. He was 40 something, single, lived with his mum in a terraced house not far from the gas works - a stone's throw from the pitch - and went to every home game. If Cables lost the match, he would go straight home to bed and only surface for work on Moinday morning. His mum would take him his meals upstairs and empty his guzzunder.

Ah yes, but ITS FOOTBALL, it is acceptable! If it was anything else then he would be branded the utter looser he sounds like, but, hey, IT'S FOOTBALL!!

Why do we have such double standards in society?

You can't blame the players. They play for a salary. How that's funded is down to the owners of the club. Impropriety is the domain of the owners not the players.

I know, but I wonder how many other clubs there are out there currently who are in the same type of situation.

Prima Donnas!

I imagine you will say you are dyslexic, but I couldn't let that one go by unremarked.

 

[Adasta]

Or even prime donne. - I can't speak Italian, but I've been told off for this by someone who can!

Yes, that is linguistically correct. However, it would be rather pompous to use that in everyday speech. It would be like correcting anyone any time they asked for "a panini"!

What's wrong with the toasted baguette... thingy of which you speak?

 

[Aperitif]

I thought one bought a Panini and, if it was one you had already tasted, you swapped with someone else. O dear.
They costa lot too.

What I really hate about football is the way it obsesses so many blokes to the point where they are incapable of social interaction if it's not through football banter. Anybody who isn't interested is left out. Even my own son suffers at school because he's the only one who doesn't want to kick a ball around at break times.

my 4 yr old picked the ball up and ran with it put it down over the line and said , thats how my dad says you play football. was grinning lots when nursery told me that. they have since bought some oval balls for those who are not wendyball obsessed

Rolli vor Beethoven...a song to beat all German opposition in the semi-final after tonight... (that's enough soccer - ed. Henceforth to be known as 'Sleever' . Bayer Sleeverkusen anyone?)

Panini is the plural for the (masculine) noun "panino", meaning sandwich. I was suggesting that being so fastidious as to say "panino" in English would be pretty pompous.

Nothing wrong with paninis (or should I say "panini"), though!
