Legod Third Coming

I agree but I am also a total free market economist - there aren't many real ones around and those there are eventually give up. If you let markets unfold then at the end you reach a happy state of equilibrium where people pay what things are really worth to them. Sadly, we have this half-hearted effort where regulators do what they think is 'just enough' to introduce 'egaility and fairness'. It never works. Let's say we took away government and then asked people for a contribution towards the things they want - schools, roads, armies, navies, welfare state, and so on. We'd soon learn what's really important to people. Especially when the choice is eat or arm, drive or have a bypass operation, for example. At the moment, football is important to enough people around the world for a player to earn the same as Kimi Raikenen, less than Tiger Woods, much less than Shaq (or whomever now plays basketball) and several quarterbacks no doubt. And much, much less than the CEOs of several banks who simply placed massive bets on black and watched as the world came up red... So, let Kaka have whatever he wants and the next man after him and so on, and at the end of all of this we'll learn that money can't be eaten.

There have always been rich and poor and people in between. If he spends half of his weekly wage, that's £5million a year injected into the British Economy. I'd rather a footballer earned it than a bloke who sat in Lombard Street betting companies would fail and making ZERO contribution to my entertainment. The argument about value is irrelevant. Who is worth anything?? Answer - no-one. Or whatever you are prepared to pay. These sums are meaningless. If he's not worth 200k is he worth 100k a week? 50? 20? 10? Who's arbitrary judgement is it? I watch football. I watch Formula One. I watch Golf. At least with Golf every man has to EARN his salary. That's what football should do. 100% performance related pay - like Golf. Don't hear many golfers complaining do you?? As for your bank - see my earlier thoughts on bankers. It's not ****ney slang simply because it rhymed...

Despite the weather and the wife, I shall make it...

Hahahah!! Nice - cheeky basket!!!

Guys, this is genuinely GOOD for Manchester and Britain. Kaka will have 200k per week in his pocket. He will buy a HOUSE. He will DECORATE it. He will FURNISH it. He will have it CLEANED. He will buy a CAR. It will be MAINTAINED. It will be CLEANED. He will EAT out. He will buy CLOTHES. He will go CLUBBING. He will SPEND money in Manchester. Which last time I checked was part of OUR economy. He will create and sustain jobs. THAT is LIFE.

It's all relative. I wouldn't work in Manchester for that money.

Depends if we score rather than hit the post...

Me? Seeing Kaka at SMS next season. Going unbeaten in the league in 2009. Seeing Pompey at SMS next season. Finishing 8th. Seeing Spurs at SMS next season. Buying a season ticket for £275. Starting a promotion challenge in August.

Typical, not only rigged, but my jokes were leaked too!!! Sack the moderators.

Where do I vote for John Sargeant...

Davis James Perry Sizey Molyneux Spiderman Surman Holmes Smith/BWP McG Saganowski

Holmes and Spiderman must start. Our record without them both in the team is shocking! It's there in black and white.

This is democracy in action - flawed...

But don't you see - this is perfect. Who will come around to repossess your home? A bank? Right. They'll all be bust. The government? Right. They'll be no tax revenue. Would you work for nothing for them? Me neither. So whom?? Answer - no-one. Because the whole lot of capitalism has fallen apart. So, stay put, do what you want and put your feet up. Because in three years it will be like 'survivors'. We'll be back to self-sufficiency, living for the day and loving like there's no tomorrow. Which is why the government want you to borrow more and more to prop up this lunacy. Oh and plant some vegetables - varied if you want a mixed diet.

When every man in the street thought you could only make a profit from buying property, you knew were we in trouble. All that cheeses me off is that my missues refused to move when I told her to sell the house two years ago... Of course, now she claims we might have put that money into an Icelandic bank... And what's the government solution to too much debt? More... firking brilliant. When in a hole STOP DIGGING!!! And today these idiots are building another runway at Heathrow - brilliant. Just what we need. To attract more bankers to London... What happened to the days when you made something and sold it to someone who made their living making something that we wanted... Oh yeah, now we have a government who believe stacking shelves is a career. It's time for a revolution in this country. To oust the morons in power and replace them with common sense.

I kannee wait noo.

Barclays wrote to me yesterday offering my business a pre-approved £25k loan. I'm thinking of taking it and spunking it all on Saints shares. Which will give them a reason not to pull the plug and also teach them that what they did is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG with a capital W. Because when they say? What did you do that for? I'll say, because that's all you've done for 15 years - bought the debt you had already lent because you were firking stupid and were more interested in making money than a contribution to society. T0ssers.

Funny they don't blame Varney though - yet he made Lowe's mistakes - every single one of them!!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the promotion season 2009/10... lol!!!!

I got pleasure from watching us win under the ginger whinger because suddenly we looked professional!!!! I went to places like Villa and watched US score in the last minute!!! Bloody hell seems half a lifetime ago!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'd like him gone. But this only becomes an issue when a team is losing or playing against moderate opposition I've noticed.

I wish all these planks did their homework and worked out ALL their religions are based on the same fables - virgin birth, God on high, etc, etc. It's all political propogands handed down through the ages and codified by ancients who wanted to control large groups of people. If people could just look inside themselves, like Buddha recommends, and ask themselves some simple questions: Is it right to take another life? Being a pretty good place to start I reckon. Then who knows what an incredible world we might live in? But no, there are people who genuinely believe it's possible to kill your way to peace. Dear oh dear, when will ALL these people stop killing each other and just hand over whatever patches of barren wastes they each want and let them pitch their scabby little tents on them??

The voice of snooker. Seem to have grown up with Viney's commentaries. Superstars, show jumping and ski Sunday in the days before SKY!!! God bless you David.

I can only speak on behalf of the three who are good mates of mine but they seem horribly resigned to it, albeit they blame Pardew - think it's all his fault and understand the finances mean they're pretty much screwed.

Charlton need Morgan Freeman to survive mate.
