I just have this feeling that we are getting left behind by all the clubs that have sold out.
You have CHELSKI, VILLA, MAN UTD AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WEST HAM.
How long before we can resist the temptation to sell out. It would be a sad day for me.
Football is being used by dodgy people to further their own gains. Who knows what kind of activities are going on.
Football is being corrupted and FIFA are just sitting back and letting it happen. What's to say that the match fixing in italy and germany isn't more widespread. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

All that Russian Mafia money can go a long way, but the only journey it needs to make is into the pockets of the Premiership refs.
I've always wondered about that Liverpool v Chelsea game on New Year's Day 2005. Mike Riley was ref and not only did he allow Lampard to put Alonso out of the game for 4 months, he denied the most blatant handball in the Chelsea area, 5 yards in front of him. No way could he have missed it.
Of course, Riley may have been under many different types of pressure that day. Anyone remember Anders Frisk?
