Cross

Fact: I don't hate football but I hate its culture. If your average premier league footballer gave up a week's wages that would keep a teacher or a nurse in a job for 4 years or so. That's absurd (opinion).

Opinion: Fans are being done a disservice - taken to the cleaners by people with a vastly overestimated sense of self-worth. Have footballers no conscience? It wouldn't be so bad if our national team were any good - and yet they'd still be overpaid if they were paid in a year what they now get in a week. They just move a ball around a field (fact).

Fact: It makes me cross. But it's ok, I'm over it.

Just heard Rik Mayall has died. Damn.
