Re: Football Clubs

Errrm.. can't resist posting this ....


Manchester United bought a new player from Nigeria.

Alex Ferguson picked up a ball and said "Ball." He then made a kicking motion with his leg and said "Kick." Then he pointed to the goal and said "Goal. GOOAALL!" "Kick. Ball. GOOAALL"

The Nigerian said "Sir, I'm able to speak English"

Ferguson replied

"Sit down and shut up. I'm talking to Wayne Rooney."

I think you are confusing Gareth Barry (who is worth about 5p) with Gareth Bale who is a world-class footballer, but not quite in the league of Messi or the amazing Christiano Ronaldo.

Value and price are not necessarily related - it's all about the market - capitalism gone mad!

Yes I was - not sure about Gareth Bale either to be honest, maybe he needs a bit more time to reach the heights of stardom; Real Madrid has become a bit of an elephants graveyard for many British players.

Absolutely.

Well, if I'm watching England or Man U and I'm shouting at the telly that I could do better (as I often claim ), I reckon, by that score and logic, I'm worth a fair bit
