What are they on about? Complaining about this talk of playing the football matches abroad. Of course it's about the money! Football isn't about anything else anymore. wake up. That's why we hero-worship and overpay the psychotic night-club brawlers and wife-beaters and drunk drivers and drugs-test dodgers and rapists and Hello-mag ninnies who enact our national game every week. And let them get away with it. Doesn't anyone understand how Mount Olympus works?
Jesus.
Let them play abroad and make more money. Widen the goalposts, that'll make more money. Play in America and change the shape of the ball. Better still, play a fixture or two in Iraq to entertain the troops protecting the oil. That's not supposed to be about money either but at least everyone knows that it is. I'll suggest it to the Football Association.
I'm just enjoying a glass of 1977 Chauteau Pichon -Baron. Second growth Pauillac. Bloody good it is. Let us give thanks and praise.
