Wonder how this fell into the wrong hands.

Judging by the fingers holding the slip, a bum picked it up from the garbage container.

How the fuck is he on that much money?

 

[Illuminattile]

That's £120,000 a month, right? Please tell me he's not on £120,000 a week?! This article says he's on about £50,000 a week, which would be £200,000 a month, so I guess he got a wage rise since last year.

Regardless, how prodigal do you have to be to make £80k a month and still end up bankrupt?

Judging by the fingers holding the slip, a bum picked it up from the garbage container.

Wait...you're suggesting that there might be bindippers in Liverpool? That's a shocking allegation.

 

[Flipmo]

That's insane...

 

[2Pax]

Yea it's a monthly wage slip, I can't get over the fact that he pays 57,000 in taxes, shocking.

Sampdoria 0 - 5 AC Milan

Yea Valencia not doing so well at the moment, they got spanked 3-0 last week off Sevilla too.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Koeman has a hard job on his hands at Valencia.

Sampdoria are fucking shit. They lost 2-0 to Catania at the weekend as well.

 

[hizzle?]

^^^I'm a Livorno fan... how do you think I feel...

 

[Bobby Sands]

They are bottom now aren't they? Sampdoria aren't too far ahead of them. They have a poor squad now. If they were in La Liga they would be bottom.

 

[hizzle?]

they had 2 points last time I checked...

 

[Flipmo]

At least Napoli is doing better... lol

lol @ Livorno.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Apparantly Lucarelli isnt enjoying himself out in Donetsk either.

They are bottom now aren't they? Sampdoria aren't too far ahead of them. They have a poor squad now. If they were in La Liga they would be bottom.

I dunno, Levante are pretty awful.

 

[Flipmo]

1 point. lol

Some great goals in the premiership today especially Young, Belletti , Primus and Carsley.

Man Utd v Arsenal was a good match. A fair result i suppose.

Liverpool were poor again. Why does he persist in playing Dirk Kuyt? He is such a poor player imo. I have never thought much of him since he joined Liverpool. When he cut in from the right, he should have made a better angle for himself and shot with his left foot to the far left corner. A good striker would have done so but then his second miss towards the end shows that he has no left foot either.
