{Ed's Note - MK Scouser has posted a new article entitled, Is there more to Professional Football than kicking a ball?

29 Mar 2018 20:59:32
Makes you wonder why they bother doing it?
Very top players earn by the they are in their mid 20s more money than they could ever need to live an extremely comfortable life for the next 100 years, yet they fight for a career that lasts into thier mid 30s if at all possible.
I don't begrudge them the money they get because it is supply and demand and everyone is only worth what someone somewhere is prepared to pay them, but I don't feel sympathy for them either as very very few walk away from the game due to it being unbearable, the other undervalued over worked professions you mention in your article lose fantastic people every day simply because of terrible conditions.
I don't understand your article really, sorry.

The piece we sometimes forget is the scrutiny they go through while they do their job. Would you like to be on TV doing your job eg a plumber while haveping people heckle you, others making your job harder by hiding your tools ( divers ) as well as experts pointing out that you padded the job out, you did it poorly or you lacked commitment. A plumber is paid a market rate as is a footballer.
Footballers are treated like meat. That’s why the bosman case came about. Players were traded like cattle and disposed of by clubs like garbage. While fans give players stick for joining an opponent for more money and expect clubs to ditch players if under performing but for players to go on loan or move to another club without a thought.
Yes they earn a lot of money and are spoilt but I am sure it’s not all roses.

No proper Christmas with your misus and kids, a month away ( International tournament) with lots and lots of down time with very little to do, you go can't go for a drink or night out with the other lads your working away with.
So many rules for 11 months of the year about what you can eat drink where you can go and when even how much you weigh isn't your own chioce.

No it isn't a perfect life at all but still very few if any give it up willingly and very many try to prolong it beyond their capabilities because they don't want to retire from the job.
Makes you wonder doesn't it :-)

SY just wondering mate, do you vote Tory by any chance?
The reason I ask is we seem to be polar opposites on just about everything mate :-)

30 Mar 2018 16:34:25
62 - yes. And I always enjoy reading your posts. I co e on here to challenge my views and to have banter.

30 Mar 2018 17:39:45
Like wise SY mate, if we all agreed on everything life would be dull and we would never learn anything about anything.
Just out of interest what's your favourite beer? Or don't tell me!
Your tea total :-)

30 Mar 2018 19:29:45
What’s this a slow dating site!

Estrella - Pacifico - San Miguel - Staropramen

Generally a premium larger never bitter but more than happy with a nice glass of wine or champagne to be honest .

You?

30 Mar 2018 20:16:05
I'm a becks man myself SY mate but San Miguel is a top substitute of the Olly Giroud calibre when becks is injured.
So we have Arsenal football club and beer in common, there is hope for us yet mate :-)

{Ed025's Note - im a moretti man myself G62..

30 Mar 2018 21:36:41
You lads need to drink Guinness, a proper drink, not dishwater. It puts hairs on your chest. My missus must drink gallons, by the look of her feet.

30 Mar 2018 20:53:13
I've not seen him play Ed025 mate but if you think he's ok I'm happy to take your word for it mate :-)

{Ed025's Note - top italian talent mate.. :)

30 Mar 2018 21:11:41
Good choice Ed and to be fair a bottle of Becks never fails to hit the mark.

{Ed025's Note - i do like a bit of bishops finger as well SY.. :)

29 Mar 2018 14:49:34
Did any one see the Steve Bould news conference?
He is so far up wengers Arse, he could be giving him s prostate examination.

29 Mar 2018 16:55:24
He is going to be, he knows if wenger goes, he's out of a job, if he has a job.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 29th March 2018

29 Mar 2018 07:45:48
I always like the pictures and try and put it to the relevant piece in your review . It was the Tevez one today wasn’t it ed?

{Ed001's Note - yes though it could probably apply to the Mulumbu one as well I guess. I like to try and make the pic something for people to figure out. Even if there is not much in the way of news at the moment at least it can be something interesting!}

29 Mar 2018 08:27:28
I never realised the pictures significance before!
Sometimes the level of my stupidity seems to have no limits :-)

{Ed001's Note - why am I not surprised? ;-)

29 Mar 2018 08:48:37
I think the big question is why I am I still surprised at myself after all these years Ed mate :-)

{Ed001's Note - I think we have already answered that in the previous post you did....}

29 Mar 2018 08:51:54
Oh yeah, I did it again didn't I :-)

{Ed001's Note - bless ya.}

29 Mar 2018 13:32:10
Lovely picture of dags, slb, Steve r, gunner62, stoner took the picture
The pic is called. The gunners
The blues brothers wouldn't get a look in. Wenger out they said.

29 Mar 2018 13:58:30
Can you tell who’s who leahy? Il give to the first two free. Far right is g62 aka the codger far left is dags aka robin askwith fresh from confessions of a driving instructor. All you have to do is work out which ones me and which ones steve 😂.

29 Mar 2018 14:11:46
Why thank you 12 kind sir! Very good of you to say so old chap
How's all with your lot after the international break, Jesse should be buzzing Marcus should be well rested and the Bus fully serviced with handbrake in full working order for the weekend :-)
The Bus The bus, the bus the bus the bus! I hear you chant :-)

29 Mar 2018 14:20:50
I tell you what 62. It lovely to hear you defend the arsenal mate 😉

Now where’s those cliff richard records at.

29 Mar 2018 16:14:54
Fair comment Sanogo mate :-)
It's a bit like your home town or your family, you might be well aware of the place your froms faults and how run down it is, you yourself and the people you grew up with might often talk about it between yourselfs but when someone from elsewhere starts slagging off your home, na you can't have that mate :-)
Fight like cat and dog between yourselfs but when an outsider attacks! You have to close ranks to see them off

Then when they've been safely dismissed and you've had a couple of bonding pints together


it's back to fighting kicking and punching between yourselfs again :-)

29 Mar 2018 16:31:19
Slb is the second from the left, just like your boy jack you look a bit injured and steve r next to you the president of arsenal tv.
Your one big happy fam.

29 Mar 2018 16:51:07
We are 12 mate, we're even thinking of getting our own big red bus just like yours and we are planning to go out on one big happy family trips to the seaside in it together in the summer.
You could do something similar, well apart from go to the seaside or anywhere else in it of course.

How many brake pads to the gallon you getting these days mate? :-)

29 Mar 2018 17:25:12
62 the bus is in second place 20 odd miles ahead of the the old hiace van. Get the driver of the hiace van out. Oh wait the driver will decide when he goes😁😁😁😁.

29 Mar 2018 17:59:43
True 12 our bus driver is taking us backwards and unfortunately he actually thinks we're actually going in the right direction.
Of course you don't need a driver for your bus do you, you have a brake man :-)

29 Mar 2018 18:01:43
Im the good looking one. If there is one.

29 Mar 2018 18:09:07
12 is it true you are thinking of renaming the ground Obstructing Traffic :-)

29 Mar 2018 19:17:30
I tell you what steve I know for a fact your not good looking because if you were you wouldn’t be such a miserable sod 😂.

29 Mar 2018 20:18:07
Mean and moody. James Dean rings a bell.

29 Mar 2018 20:26:10
By that reckoning Dags would have to be the chubby one Sanogo due to his being so bubbly.
Chubby Bubbly as they say in the Romford area :-)

29 Mar 2018 21:01:13
Ron Moody more like Steve.

30 Mar 2018 09:42:01
Just by the fact you mentioned James dean suggests your at least over 50 steve. Maybe your just so beautiful that everyone and everything else is disgusting to you and your elite level looks 😂.
