I do agree though, by the way.
But it’s private money not public money, and our government could make a tidy bit of extra cash for public services if they taxed high wages properly and closed loopholes. So I think the government deserves the anger, not the footballers or the clubs.

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

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).

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.

A hundred million billion times better to watch United now than it was under LVG.
