Actually, if you're going to blame anybody, it should probably be our very own Sir Jimmy (although, I'm sure the last thing he was thinking about was players being on money like this).
What I will say is that if Torres, Rooney, Toure, Eto'o etc etc are on between £150-£300k a week then Messi is worth that money in the realms of football. It's ridiculous money, that's been going on in football for too long now, and I can't see it stopping any time soon. I'm not sure what their...
Not sure they're that short? In fact, I was just thinking they've got some decent strikers now - Sidibe (if he's still there), Wickham and Lita. Always thought Wickham was overrated but he's decent at Championship level.
EDIT: Think Sidibe's gone back to Stoke but they've got Maguire.
Not saying this sort of thing hasn't happened before. To us though, no! I think we played well last night and I'd love us to turn it round, I just don't think we will! I'm not going to go all negative though (surprise surprise the vast majority of threads today)!
I wasn't taking the piss with this, I was genuinely curious (and haven't taken much notice of that arrogance thread since last night). Strange one, you would've thought the team singing it would play in blue.
And smugness is also an ugly trait. You counter attacked about 5 times, you were clinical, so well done. But your keeper was inspired, our finishing was woeful and we got slightly unlucky. That's not arrogance, that's fact.
Seriously, poor? We weren't poor by any stretch. They were clinical as ljc says and we weren't. That's not playing poor. So that's a ridiculous statement.
