        My view of football is this.

        22 men fighting over one ball, when they get paid more than enough to buy a ball each.

            They get paid a criminal amount to kick a ball about on a field. HUNDREDS of thousands per WEEK. Somebody somewhere has had a lobotomy.

            They could at least do a choreographed dance or something. [Rolling around on the floor after another player walks past them clearly not having touched them doesn't count]

                £300k a Week, I would play four weeks then retire aged 19, Oh go on then eight weeks

                The Players should be paid about £400 a week by the various tv companies, and the difference paid into the UK Gov coffers, reducing everyones tax bill

                Tommy can not be bothered at school, leaves with no academic qualities at 16, no employment, kicks a ball around, gets picked to play for a team and £30m a year

                Billy works his socks of studies every night, gets to Uni works hard, becomes a Doctor £140k a year, Something is wrong
                Maybe SKY and Virgin should show major operations every Saturday and Sunday, occasionally Wednesdays, the Surgeon gets £300k an op the patient £10ok
                Or as above the surgeon gets £140k a year, the patient gets a one off grand, and the NHS gets the remainder
