Being sawn off here. Ref has given them fouls for the slightest touch while they're just scything through our players, it's ridiculous how far apart the standards are. Two awful offside decisions when we're clear on goal. And has now given them a penalty for a dive. Diabolical officiating.

Unsure what was up with the officiating that game, but very happy we got through. :) Coutinho <3

The people who help to pay his wages? Though seriously, no one would really care if he performed or wasn't given undeserved chances.
Ugh be more entitled. Just because you pay a couple of thousand dollars a year to sit in the same seat every second weekend doesn't mean you can tell anyone how to live their life.

Why do people think that because they have emotional investment in a sporting team, that they "pay the wages" of the players and should in turn be allowed to dictate how they live their lives. If you're a big fan of Nike and always buy their shoes exclusively why aren't you out there telling all their employees how they can and can't treat themselves and their bodies. You "pay their wages" too, you know.

That said, I personally don't think that professional athletes should be smoking, as your body is essentially the tool that allows you to work and do your job. But, if he so chooses to do so (and his employers allow him to) as long as it isn't affecting his performances directly then so be it. I doubt the effects of it will truly affect his performances within the next 10-15 years, and the smokes certainly aren't affecting his ability to pass, shott and not constantly break his ankles.

Yeah for me I pay my money and if the effort isn't there - I've a right to be pissed off. If they were doing beak in a rock ferry pub? Don't give a **** if they do the business. If extracurricular activities then result in them not being arsed, I'll give a ****. Otherwise do what you want. Couldn't care less how our players live their lives.

As he walked into the enclosure, a group of fellas began to get very vocal and aggressive, before one rather portly gentleman did his best to bring about early onset cardiovascular disease by abusing Viduka and all he stood for at the top of his voice: “I pay your ****ing wages, Viduka.” As he got to the car, Viduka put his bags down and started walking towards the four-foot-high metal fence a group of 30 or 40 fellas were pretending to have a great amount of difficulty in scaling.

“You pay my wages?” said Viduka, looking the biggest fella dead in the eye.

“That’s ****ing right,” said the ringleader.

And with that Viduka extended his hand and said, “Fair play to you, mate. You must be one rich ****er.”

That being said I don't think cab was being serious
I should like to point out that my distaste to the present situation is due to the fact that he knows what Arsenal's rules are on this sort of thing, and has repeatedly broken them, which leads me to the conclusion that the bloke is dense.
