As I've explained, Teribus, it's all capitalism, and, ultimately, you pay for the footballers' wages via the more expensive stuff you buy which is more expensive because of the advertisers who pay out the billions to telly companies who then pay the football clubs. And hey, you raised the Anfield lads first! You should watch more football on the telly, mate. It's not like the good old days when the team coach stopped at the chippy for lunch on the way to the match, games were played on mudbath pitches in front of shivering hordes of fans who were nearly all standing up, and the players were brain-damaged by a ball that got heavier and heavier as it absorbed water as the match went on. By the end of the match it was like heading a bag of nutty slack. Today there is amazing speed and skill, the grounds are great and the lads look after themselves. No ten pints and a twenty-pack at the pub after training for them! And just think, if you begin to enjoy it you'll at least be getting something back for that investment in footballers pay that capitalism forced you to make!
