They might be dangerous in other ways, but they are less of a danger when he doesn't play, as he is very much their main goalscoring threat to opponents.

Thanks for the spell check, as he is just one player I always seem to have a problem with!

Ahh to go back to a time when it was just Smith and Jones for surnames!

Not always the case. I had no issues with the retrospective bans Costa had. What you do want is some consistency applied though, after seeing Aguero get away with similar incidents in the past.

As this transfer window shows, with jobbing players going for £10m+..As clubs get more money, they behave differently and value things differently to those with less money

A similar thing happens to the players who earn the crazy amounts of money... They do not miss a few grand a week or have the same appreciation of value or live the same lifestyle as the rest of us. They have money to throw around... They could adapt and live on their (say) £5m in the bank if they didn't earn anything else for the rest of their lives.... Soz... It's a comparison that can be picked apart but I wanted to bring up the point again!

What is your point? That footballers earn more than joe bloggs?
Nova21
31-08-2016
Yep and you can't compare their pay cuts to that of Joe Bloggs.

Apart from those who do compare it in these threads.

I'm lost as to what you are actually saying. It seems to be footballers earn lots of money and wouldn't miss a few grand less, if you think its a crap and redundant point why repeat it?
Nova21
31-08-2016
I don't think it's a crap point, i just thought I'd bring it up again as something that was being discussed the other day and has been in the past... I admitted that the angle I used to shoehorn it in was not necessarily directly correlated

Did anyone see Joe Hart trying to smile today, when he was paraded in front of the Torino fans

You can tell he does not want to be there, but he had no choice

Going by his ad campaigns, that might just be his face.

I dont think i have seen so many fake smiles from players today

It is like they did not want to leave their clubs

Joe Hart was the one looked so unhappy trying to smile in front of the media and fans when really he was hating being there

What was with the Samir Nasri smile, and him bring so happy to join Sevilla

And Jack Wilshere looked like he was thinking. What im i doing here at Bournemouth

Joe Hart needs to look on the bright side...he'll be living in Turin. Which is much lovelier than Manchester.

Same goes to Ballotelli at Nice. Football may not be as competitive, but a lovely city.

pretty sure they were saying on the transfer show that most people over there were searching for 'who is joe hart' and 'what position does he play in' top trends

They said that but I find it hard to believe. He played against Italy in both Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014 after all, nevermind playing for a high profile club that are regularly in the Champions League.

Man City are appealing against Aguero's charge. According to some people on twitter they are trying to argue that the referee saw it and chose not to act so Aguero can't be punished. Almost no chance it's successful if that is the defence, for it to work I think the FA would have to entertain the idea that the referee lied in his report, can't see them doing that.

Martinez has clearly already put his stamp on the Belguim team..

Spain look like scoring at will...

They're looking desperate imo.

This has to count as a frivolous appeal and an additional game ban added on if it fails. Some might say for what they are suggesting adding just another game on wouldn't be enough.

missed all but 5 mins of the first half of the belgium - spain game.

Commentators just said "belgium look all over the place defensively", who would have thought that from a martinez team then?

Don't really agree. The point of the frivolous appeal rule was to stop teams trying to delay a ban to get a player to play in a match, that's not what this is. Even if it is a crap defence it's not trying to game the system.
