"Just remember when you're slagging off footballers that they are are guaranteed a very short career only,"

My heart bleeds for them. They;re overpaid, overprivileged and can sod off. The wife of one very well-known footballer stood up at a village meeting (a posh place a few miles away) the protest against affordable homes there because the type of person living in those houses would bring the area down.

On top of that, these wage demands (for playing a game for chrissake) are making it impossible for non-league and lower league clubs to pay their players; many can't even issue contracts for players for even a full season as they don;t know if they can pay them: wages rise as a result of the trickle down effect from the overpaid top flight players. These clubs often play a vital role in their community, but the big clubs don't support them at all.

Bollocks to them.
