|  | You can never have too many bones.... | | Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Dublin, Ireland | | | Well actually chaps I'm looking forward to a display of excellent sportsmanship overlaid with an exhibition of superb skills which will leave me gasping at the audacity and consummate artistry of the participating gentlemen from both sides capped off by a fine display of accurate common sense work by all of the official's concerned in a match played to the highest standards of the game and watched by fans who show respect and admiration for the competition....
Meanwhile back in the real world, 0-0, loads of cards, brawls, mass sending off, the managers fighting and huge fines and point's deductions as SVT suggests does sound much more attractive...
And likely! |

City players net worth (inc subs) 370 million
Combined worth 745 million.
Chelsea annual wage bill 170 million
City annual wage bill 130 million
Combined wage bill 300 million.
Lets remember those figures this afternoon, when we are treated to 90 minutes of petulance, gamesmanship, simulation, bickering, squabbling and a little bit of football. |

| | | | Gotta love Rafa's shake up of the squad, exactly what DiMatteo sent out against Juventus, except popping in Torres.

In other news, Dave Sexton RIP. |

Stay classy West Ham. Bet those idiots don't even know their chairman is Jewish. Can football be about football against, please? |

These are the classy goons who hung and burned an effigy of Beckham when he got sent off in the World Cup. Despite what you may think of 'Brand Beckham', the man has a family.
I could regale you all with grim tales of Evertons 'Naughty Forty' and their battles with West Hams Inter City Firm. |

| What always amuses me is the way that the likes of Leeds, Millwall and West Ham take some sort of pride in the fact that they regularly top the police 'arrests league'...like it somehow means they are bigger and harder. The truth is that they are actually just more stupid because they get caught more. |

It goes back to the whole discussion on rivalry, in many ways. I don't feel comfortable throwing the word "hate" around in general, let alone for sake of sports. |

I'd happily take my kids along to any rugby or cricket match - with football, I'd check who's playing first.
