Just seen on You tube that if Looney plays every championship game in a season, his wages work out at £4600 per minute!! By comparison, a top cyclist like Froome, Contador get £181 per minute for racing. Now, which one of the two is working the hardest I ask you? In my book, footballers are just a bunch of w*****rs, certainly not worth the money they are getting. It is obscene.

Your bold is correct. The rest of it is havers.

Ive just woken up and im still annoyed that Costa was still on the pitch to score Chelseas winner last night.He should have been sent off.

How that was described as a 'horror tackle' by the media is beyond me. Costa went for the ball with his left foot, his legs were splayed and Adrian's left leg goes over Costa's right.

I thought Bilic was far more honest.

"It was not reckless or deliberate, but it was quite late," said Hammers boss Slaven Bilic referring to the incident.

Watching in real time I thought Adrian made a right song and dance over it - he was soon over it as well which was a bit telling.

Tbh I think it is absolutely pitiful when fans (as per the WHUFC fan boards) home in on one incident that 'cost them the game' - the reality is that for about 80% of the game WHUFC were totally outplayed.

Anyway, same old same old with the media once they get their collective teeth into a player - amusing that Carragher feels he is in a position to pontificate about such matters as he had a somewhat 'robust' approach to playing the game (damn good player though).

Although your boys are clearly having fun it's also good to see the rest of the hardcore kopshites giving it full voice.

Yeah, think a few of 'em might have struggled past the first verse of Scouser Tommy, but comes with the territory when your a world famous club...

No one is paid for how hard they work. Wages are based on your value to your employer, and as football generates umpteen times more revenue than cycling salaries will reflect that, and whatever Rooney gets paid it is probably a fraction of what Manchester United receive from selling merchandise with his name on it.

I wasnt saying West Ham deserved anything out of the game,anything other than a Chelsea victory would have been very harsh on them.Along with putting his hands on the ref twice,diving in the penalty area and that tackle on Adrian - which you can see photos of that show it wasnt the best challenge,i was sayintg he should have been sent off before he scored.

It is obscene how much footballers get paid, just the same as £181 per minute is.

Just because someone gets paid a ludicrous amount of money though doesn't make them a "w*****" though.

I know what you were saying and I wasn't having a toot at you either.

I was just making a few points ie it was far from a horror tackle, the media have their teeth into Costa and a good number on the WHUFC boards were attributing the loss to that one single pretty much non-event of a moment.
