Agree with Trent.

But whats the problem if they have got the money??

It makes the league less competitive..

thats bad, unless you love the sky 4 way of life we're living now?

I think a lot of people on here are jealous of what Man City have got. They would never admit of course!!

I think everyone wants villa to win everything dont they? If we had a sugar daddy it would be good for us - but for how long?

This thread is about whats wrong with the game - money is the biggest problem. There is so much to lose now.

Money makes players dive, makes players pillorise the refs, makes manager go mental when decisions go against them..

Why? because there is too much to lose.

If Man Utd dont win the title it doesnt just cost them the 1 place in the league, it means the best, most expensive players in the world go to chelsea instead, in which turn gives them less chance to win the champs league etc etc etc...it all boils down to money.

Do you think Adebyor, robinho, tevez, yaya, kolo, bridge etc would have gone to Man city if the money wasnt there?

Compare our team from 2005 and our team for 2008/09. How many other teams in the league are able to spend £10m on a player whose position you have relatively well-covered who is going to be injured for the following six months?

As far as 90% of teams are concerned we're just Man City lite.

Difference being is that we dont rip apart our structure to do it though do we?

Man City were a YOYO club until 3/4 years ago when Paul Dickov was their saviour...

Its taken Villa 18/19 years of constantly being in the top league to afford a 10m player - who we all knew would be first choice when he recovered for the forseeable - plus we saved ourselves money when we bought him injured..

Your comparing a player who, over 5 years is worth over 56 million pounds (without transfer fees - if there were any) who will tackle people and score 3 - 5 goals a season to a player who has played for england (whatever thats worth), score, set up goals etc etc.

yaya toure should be a 8 -10m player on 40-60k a week..

roy keane and viera were twice the players yaya toure is.

That is Man City's team from 2005.

Compare it to the one they have now, and how they acquired the players from 2008/9 season. Thats what is wrong with football.

I decided not to renew this season at Villa, not because we're not going to be successful because we cannot afford it but because I lived the dream when I went to watch us in a final last year. We didnt win but its still one of the best days i've had plus im saving for a house . Although I was dissapointed at Wembley stadium and the amount of corporate seats there were.

People like Yaya Toure 5 years ago would only be on 30k max a year because they're just ball winners..they are not going to win or lose you games.

I didnt like the way Wayne Rooney gobbed off to the cameras at the world cup, he can keep his opinions to himself about the fans who managed to get themselves down there. Far too much blame goes onto the managers, its the players fault. in england our players do not have the foggiest idea what to do if plan A doesnt work..look at the England team against Algeria, after an hour our plan didnt work, but nothing changed because the players havent got brains to change anything..

And many players only do charity work because its in their contracts..

yea is it coleman still there?

he's doing ok with them. be good to see them in prem again (for a little while)

they are shit.

Could you put 50 mini sensors in the ball and the way you know it has crossed the line is if all the sensors fire off and vibrate the refs arse or something?

it'd be easy to **** do..we put a man on the bastard moon 40 years ago but we cannot see if a bastard ball crosses a white line? in some of which cases cost a team millions upon millions of pounds.

I'll be totally honest and say I use this site maybe 1-2 hours a day and do not donate - nor do i intend to.

I love this site but I dont feel its worth my actual money - if you get what I'm saying, I mean if it were to close for whatever reason I would plod to the next site and so on.

I spend enough money elsewhere to feel the need to dontate to a forum.

As I said, I'm being honest so I do not expect to be scrutinised, but I probably will.

I do however regularly click on the adverts, but I am also quite aware that that is not enough to keep it going singlehandedly, maybe if everyone did once every hour they are here it would be better.

The play should carry on..If there is a goal then there is always a 1 minute stop in play for celebrating or whatever, whilst this is happening the 4th official should rewind the play and make the decision.

The only call you can make is 'did the ball cross the line?', not 'was it a penalty?' etc etc

imo

What chu talking about wallis?

haaa you got it wrong!!!

its Kneaded..spaz

the ones stewie did are gathering a large followng on facebook lol

everyone is going 'omg lolz dees are ace lol'

'Dark Pudding?'

Whats funnier than a rape victim with cancer who caught HIV from sniffing a dead monkeys pants?

Nothing.

pretty tame by your standards KL

Whats worse than being raped?

Dying whilst being raped.

-

What is worse than dying whilst being raped?

Being resusitated once you died of being raped and then being raped to death again.

bad innit..

Baby Arteta?

lol i came here with the joke that even this wouldnt stop gabby15..but ive been beaten to the namesdropping

I doubt many women would even like to put that thing anywhere near their nether regions..its like your anticipating being raped..i dont know because im not a woman but i certainly dont plan for being raped everytime i go out on the streets..

maybe a couple of people will use them, and if it makes them feel safer then good for them, but i bet its a tiny %..i think its more practical to carry pepper spray or something, you feel safer for having it but its not a small procedure for admisitering it either.

just think, it'll all be worth it in 5 years..i hated A levels, way harder than Degree's.

just keep going, that extra 30 mins revision is the difference between a C/D A/B etc etc. its nothing when you think about it, but it just feels like forever when your doing it.

(* i wish I was as good at studying as i am at giving advice on how to revise )

me too!

GTA was troubled by framerate slowdown which took alot from the atmosphere...the map was brilliant, but a couple of bug bears ruined it

RDR doesnt suffer with those issues and its characters are the best out of most games. certainly up there with solid snake etc etc (if anyone says masterchef (lol) I will punch you)

Could have meant it the other way to!
