To be honest I strongly believe that the vast majority of players are mercenary, and it's not just the agents and the players that are to blame. The clubs have to shoulder some of the blame for making the daft offers of huge salaries and packages. The bubble will burst as soem point, be it in a couple of years or some time later. It can't sustain the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at players which is pricing many people out of the game.

The fact remains that the word is used far to freely when talking about foreign players conveniently forgetting that good old English boys are just as guilty. It's as if most people become blinkered when the same accusation is laid at the door of an English player. As for whether or not I'd move on, it's hard to say. In Lampards case he allowed himself to be touted by his agent last summer, in oder to screw more dash oout of the Chavs and their Russian Mafiosi boss, but this is glossed over and forgotten. As for Cashely Hole, don't get me started!! I just wished he'd crashed his car when he found out about the increase we offered him, the greedy little .......

Now here's a true story which really does, in my view, demonstrate the crazy world of H&S that dominates our lives. A sub contractor was called in to repalce a circular flourescent light in the gents in my office. The guy came in and said that before fitting in, not only would he have to provide a qoute but he would also have to provide a risk assesment and a method statement. ::o Speechless.

That's as may be, but he held the Chavs to ransom last summer by allowing himself to be linked to numerous clubs across europe. It pisses me off when the word mercenary is aimed at only foreign players, when the likes of Lampard and Cashley get forgotten about. Come to that what about Campbell, is he not a mercenary, is he not English?

Foreign mercenarys abound in the Prem, take a look at your own team if you support one. Some are more burdened with them than other in fact some even have English ones, such as CSKA Fulham, who have among their number 2 English mercenarys Lampard and Cashley Hole. Mercenarys are not always foreign despite what some zenophobes might think.

I have been guilty of this when my sons were small, but I understand a security guard in a Tesco's branch in Cambridge banned a dad from doing so. Was he right to do so or is this Elfin Safety gone mental? Discuss.

Of course anyone who supports the Arsenal would like their team to win trophies rather than not. I for one am getting a little weary of Le Boss making silly excuses for out inability to win recent games. WE didn't play at all badly when we lost to Man Ure at their place, and I felt we were unluck not to get anything from that game, but against them at our place, and against Chavski home and away we were just not good enough. In Le Boss we used to trust, but I'm losing my faith with him, but never with my beloved club. However, who would replace Le Boss. I don't think there are many good/big enough to take it on as I said previously on this thread. If he proves us all wrong and wins the league or Champs League, I'll run naked round Peckham Rye Park. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!!! To be honest I think I'm safe though.

As I said earlier, Le Boss is lossing points in the credibility ratings but who would we bring in to replace him? I have only one choice and that's Guardiola. As for Cascarino, I don't think his track record gives hom much to shout about, and certainly doesn't give him the right to question how Wenger goes about his business. Apart from Ferguson, Mourinho, and more recently Guardiola there aren't many managers that can even begin to tell Le Boss where he's going wrong. That aside, Wenger needs to stop being so damn stubborn and buy a decent keeper, a striker, and another midfielder to replace the only Brazilian, Denilson, who is about as gifted as Robbie "Lily" Savage.

Maybe I've missed something here so please enlighten me if I've got this wrong. Didn't the MP's themselves set the rules that relate to expenses, and is it, or not as the case maybe, a fact that they have failed to adhere to these rules. That aside the amounts claimed and what they have been claimed for does beggar belief. Given that most MP's are financially well off, and have no real need to claim for some of the extremely frivilous items, doesn't this whole sorry episode underline the fact that most of these august persons democratically elected to represent the good folk of this country and look out for their best interests are out for whatever they can get. And does it not further undermine the faith of the electorate in MP's and what little remains of their already questionable integrity? I've noticed that some of the amounts mentioned are in excess of what a large portion of the populace earn in a year. I guess another prerequisite for being an MP or taking on Public Office is having little or no conscience and being a bloody good actor, just ask Alastair Campbell .

I would be very happy if your prediction for Hull were to come true. A more deserving case than Phil "Tango" Brown would be hard to find, no, I tell a lie, Sam "We are not a dirty side just physical" Allardyce is also hugely deserving of Championship football.

We've got all the big games out of the way, our run isn't too bad. But Le Boss is losing his credibility. Yes he is right to advocate good financial housekeeping, but that is a matter for others to deal with, he should concern himself purely with footballing matters. As to getting rid of him as some have hinted at, who would replace him. There are no managers good enough out there who are not already tied to a club as big as the Arsenal. The only person I'd welcome is Pep Guardiola, and that is very unlikley altough he has won all there is to win with Barca and may want a new challenge, but that's wishful thinking on my part.

Too many. Especially the footballing sages who believe their word is sacrosanct and must not be challenged.

My only is agenda ia against you for being cowardly enough to put it on here when I couldn't get back at you. So you took it off AFTER the ban, how very big of you, but the damage was done. Sorry that doesn't suit your agenda. Don't you like the taste of your own medicine, finding it hard to swallow?

I'm glad you missed me and my argument has never been about lokm at what we've won, keep taking you're medication and have a lie down, try reading my posts properly. Or do you just see the red mist (very appropriate) as soon as you see my posts? You put a post on here two weeks ago in which you took the opportunity to bravely tear in to me when you knew I couldn't defend myself, so as far as I'm concerned you've made yourself fair game. So I'm glad you enjoy or little discussions. Long may they reign. As for high standard of debate< i'll leave that to you, as you are clearly a footballing sage and the only opinion on here that carries any weightor credibility. It must be great to be as good as you are eh?

I see your mob lost again. Shame for a team that won the world cup in 1966. Did you know that? Oh yeah you've told us countless times, that, and how Brooking scored a stooping header against us back in the day. Yeah same old "stuff".

Just stepped off the naughty step, after my two weeks of exile. Is that cheering I can hear from Sandboy, the dollar sign or whatever, Declan, and the usual holier than thou crew. Any way, crap result against CSKA Fulham, who will win the league, Man Ure hugely flattering scoreline but when the opposition help you as much as Pompey did I guess it's to be expected, Spuds drawing at home and Liverpool back to winning ways means that they may overtake Spuds on Wednesday night if they win against the Arsenal. If circs were different I'd be happy to give the scousers the three points to ensue Del Boy Churchill Redknapp ends the season out of the top four. The bloke who had a rant at me after I was sent for an early shower two weeks ago, namely $$$$ or ???? or whatever his ID is, made me smile. Obviously the man is a footballing oracle whose opinions and wisdom should be interpreted as being holy scripture and others like myself should bow in deference to this footballing sage. After all he supports the team that won the world cup for England in 1966 don't you know. Oh and finally, thanks to Keef for being a decent bloke and having the courage to tell most of you what he thought of you. Well played.
