My clue about it being Micky Mouse would be,

Its about my millions are better than your millions and i chose to drop them in this label!

The players have no respect for the Referee.

The language used on National tv. is distgusting, rolemodels.........yeah right.

Although given that the majority cant string a sentence together its no wonder why.

The difference between gamesmanship and cheating.

The pathetic way a situation of no contact leaves the player rolling around on the floor, and even if he chooses to confront another its all in a bit pushy handbag way.

The pundits are nothing but a string of cliche's

Who on earth would throw coins at the players on a field of sport.

The fact that it costs the tax payer thousands to Police a few thousand crowd around here for a game of football, when 1/2 mile down the road you get 12000 rugby fans with no contingency required!

The state of its management where clubs apart from the chosen 4, go bust and get picked up by the taxpayer, where as the rugby clubs have generated their own turnover.

mate i'm talking about "the game" ... not "the sport" .... two entirely different discussions, please try and stay on topic.

Football clubs pay their own Police bill.
I went to Wolves on Saturday and there was not one Policeman in sidethe ground, but lots of inept stewards. My guess is they are far cheaper.

What a loud of complete blx and sour grapes Paul!

Chelsea finished 4th in the Premiership the season before either Abromavich or Mourinho turned up. Hardly insignificant.

no sour grapes.....but look at the debt they had, if Roman hadnt come in, they would be docked 10 points and in recievership now!! Look at Leeds - thats Chelsea in 2/3 seasons.....shame, because ANYONE is better than the Gooners!.......except those red Scousers! (Blue noses OK)

PMSL at this lot.........

.........btw, thanks Bradders for the blue nose thumbs up!!

Look at the top six in the Premiership today -

Chelsea.......... its a BUSINESS for god's sake. Ultimately, they're in the position they're in because of money. They are the nouveau riche, like the lottery winner. They do nothing for football in my book

Man Utd.........much as I hate to say it owe their success to one man - Sir (rightfully) Alex. His drive, determination and vision through his youth squad put them where they are today. Sure they spend loadsa money but they earnt that.

Arsenal..........dunno why, always had a soft spot for the gooners. I like their quaint old ground and never met an a*se of a supporter - all good uns in my book. Again, Mr Wenger has worked them well and they deserve their success

Everton...........yes I know, my lot. Got nothing, sold our star player (thank goodness..........he's better off surrounded by better players, a steadying influence and the bling culture a big club brings) and yet we're 4th. Pinch me I'm dreaming.....as I had us down for relegation this season.

Liverpool..........gobshites all of 'em I didn't want either side to win yesterday, not possible I know. Seriously though, the Shankley team will always be the greatest and Liverpool only need a good manager to rejuvinate I'm sure

Middlesbrough........often there or there abouts. Would be good to see a NE team back in the hunt.

The most spooky thing, from a personal point of view, is that five of my best boozing buddies in my village support each of those five teams excluding the blues and they're ...

The Chelsea fan..........mega rich himself and embarressed by his team
The Man U fan.........like many a long time supporter (through the Busby Babe sympathy thing but ever been to OT ) but know's his footie
The Arsenal fan...........a real cheeky chappie, true Londoner and a season ticket holder...........hates Chelsea!!
The Liverpool fan...........good to make fun of at the moment
The Middlesbrough fan..........passionate, nervous, born & bred in Brough and a stabilising influence on all of us lot.

Sorry if I come across as a bit negative about Chelsea but it's because they exhibit everything that's bad about the game/sport.

I can't motivate my 2 boys to go to football any more. To them its boring

Can't keep 'em away from the Rugby though fortunately.....it's the one game that instills respect, sportsmanship and pride.

There...mild rant over.

Which bit of players cheating as apposed to gamesmanship, money ruling which team is in and which aint, the lack of respect for the man in the middle, how fickle the players are, and the supporters are for that matter when you look at say Rooney. The bad attitudes that have spilt out from the field of play to everyday life and the knock on effect of that onto the youth of today, is not about the game? Theres no need to be so condescending either, or is that the footballer coming out in you? i didnt realise that you are allways right and have took the mantle of DSC website Enforcer. Find a picture for that.

Everton, you are indeed correct most clubs have now taken to employing their own staff inside the ground. But any problems are just thrown out of the stadium for the taxpayer to pick up. Plus of course there is the getting to the ground and away from it!

As for the Arsenal/Chelsea or any of the top clubs issue. They are all only in their position due to money. Unless theyve built themselves up on homegrown talent?
