  1. He is an utter ****
  2. You can play most sports into an old age, you just wouldn't be very good. You must have a very sheltered view of golf if you think its for fat old men, maybe some time ago it was a sport where the pro's weren't in the best of shape, but these days those at the top of the game are athletes. Most spend as long, maybe longer in the gym working out than they do practising with a club and bucket of balls. Just because it is non-contact does not de-value it in anyway. Ignorance. Your's is the typical attitude of someone not able to master the sport at a first attempt and a lack of an open mind. What exactly makes it the most ridiculous past time and waste of time on the planet as you so ignorantly put it? And yes you are wrong, maybe its just the people you are acquainted with are generally sad, single and unhappy. And of course, the reason for 99% of divorces is the man in the relationship's hunger for a round of golf on the weekend. Your sweeping generalisations don't surprise me. Your an A-class moron and should keep your naive, generalistic opinion to yourself, or maybe run it past the mrs, she is obviously glutton for punishment.
  3. Because he is a ****ing moron. Extract from his book "It all started while I was sitting in the sunshine at Sopwell House, the hotel in Hertfordshire used by England before we flew out to Portugal for Euro 2004, when an eager voice called out, “Ashley!” Mr Dein was stood there. He told me I wasn’t earning enough and my salary was going to be increased. My face- cracking smile told him all he needed to know. I was buzzing, really buzzing. His tone soon wiped the smile from my face. I felt his attitude suggested he was doing me a favour, like I was a 17-year-old trainee. The deal he offered was a £10,000-a-week increase to £35,000. A hell of a lot of money. But, when taken in the context of football wages and his own estimated value of me of £20 million, and when placed next to those other Arsenal wages of between £80,000 and £100,000 a week, his offer was a ****-take. It was a slap in the face, not a pat on the back. By the time José Mourinho and Roman Abramovich came to Highbury for a thrilling 2-2 draw in December 2004, I’d already told my agents what I wanted in terms of a new deal. They thought I’d lost my marbles. But I loved Arsenal, couldn’t imagine playing for another club and wanted to stay. “So get me £60,000 a week and I’ll be happy with that,” I said. The next thing I know, on December 20, Jonathan (Barnett) is on the phone with good news: “Ash, I’ve just met David Dein for breakfast at Claridge’s; we’ve shaken on £60,000 a week.” As it turned out, the Arsenal board had other ideas about rubber-stamping Mr Dein’s recommendation. At a board meeting held two days before our 1–0 away defeat at Bolton in January, it was decided the maximum offer should be £55,000 a week. I don’t believe the board gave a damn about keeping me. It preferred to haggle over a difference of £5,000. IT WAS A GOOD JOB I WAS WELL AWAY from it all, driving to Mum’s house in Chigwell as agent and vice-chairman locked horns in an office in Central London later that month. Somewhere along the A406 North Circular Road, one telephone call changed everything about how I viewed and felt about Arsenal. “Ash! Are you listening?” said a virtually hyperventilating Jonathan. “I’m here in the office and David Dein is saying they aren’t going to give you £60k a week. They’ve agreed £55k and this is their best and final offer. Are you happy with that?” When I heard Jonathan repeat the figure of £55k, I nearly swerved off the road. “He is taking the ****, Jonathan!” I yelled down the phone. I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn’t believe what I’d heard. I suppose it all started to fall apart for me from then on. I’d trusted Mr Dein to push the deal through"
