There was a time

When clubs have signes players in the past we have all read and heard the stories of 'tapping up' or 'bungs' when certain deals are done. Most of the bung stories are difficult to prove but George Graham will always be remembered for the John Jensen bung transfer, Teddy's move from Forest to spuds almost ruined the reputation of Cloughy and El Tel, and the Carrick transfer from utds feeder club was not pleasing to mr Levy. I think no club is completely innocent during transfer windows, someone has to start the ball rolling after all.

It seems to me that things are done completelly differently these days. The papers make shit up every day and websites devoted to transfers have to work on rumour, and also start them. The agents are slimeballs who are only interested in pay rises, signing on fees, and taking more and more out of the game, players are greadier than ever, some of the complete shit that earn upwards of 40k a week is obscene.

The way Bayern Munich have gone about their business so far this summer is disrispectfull to say the least, and we are accused of having no class. Agreeing everything with Boateng before sorting out a deal with City must be against the rules surely? And they are trying to do the same with Alex, i hope chelsea take the same stand as we have. Now is the time for clubs to get tough, just like Blackpool and Holloway did over Adam, and make a contract worth the the time and effort it takes. When will Uefa stop trying to ruin English football and start taking a stand against their 'favourites' and start dishing out fines for the actions taken. How many more times do i have to read about Barca trying to get Fabregas on the cheap, Tevez wanting his cake and eating it, and Adebayor having to leave because his relationship with the manager (nothing to do with his bad attitude of course). Give me back my beautifull game and kick the leaches out before its too late.

When I was broken hearted...

Yes dude, made a point about this before, and still everyone goes on about how city are paranoid and the whole world isn't against us and that its our own doing because we have no history and class!

we will never get that feeling we had all those years ago as kids where foot ball is concerned. I guess they call it progress.
