Is it?! Granted you don't see them breaking down in tears of joy after each 3 points, but look at any Cup final/league win and tell me they're not celebrating the sporting achievement.
Look at any World Cup/Euro final (or even many knockout games) and there'll be players crying, not through lost earnings, but because of how much it hurt to lose.
Just for the record (and yes to play devils advocate a bit tbh), Jess, Bradley, Hoy and Daley will earn more than a fair amount of premiership footballers over the next couple of years, you're talking millions of pounds in sponsorship/advertising alone. Should we look at capping that??
And, while I'm on a bit of a rant, it pisses me off when people say all they do is kick a ball about so they don't deserve what they earn. They're paid what they're worth to the company that employs them, same as anyone else. It's how business works, whinging idiots
But my original post was not just about greed...and to be honest we all know long gone are the days that most players have the fans..clubs at heart...
but the way football is going it will implode
And how would you tell that this has happened?
That can only from within and address all these issues

Though I shall keep following the toon

I want your money by the flying Lizards

It` remind`s me of the tune pop will eat itself (which it has with all the xfactor shit)....now it should be football will eat itself....and it`s well on the way

What would you like to see change?
Respect for the good of the game

Yes there is many in the lower leagues who do not thrive on the media oxygen bubble
But premership is fair game as it is more highlighted , therefore higher profile for roles models, with the olympians although the media oxygen is not as much they still set a bar which children etc will aspire for , I love football...love the toon, and as I wrote in first post , I think we as a club are maybe starting to turn , but I do think the look in the mirror needs to be in vogue this season

In at number 4 and rising

They're all a bunch of bellends. I take, at best, a passing interest in football these days cos the dickheads involved in the game are just too annoying. And then some of the biggest twats of all get rewarded with media jobs when they retire.
It's bad enough that you had to watch these pricks play, but for them then to become the media face of the game too is incredible.
I get that...and myself is a hardened cynic......(too many years to mention)...but did feel we as nufc did turn a corner last season on this....with many fans out there secretly hoping that their club could be run like ours....and then the olympics playing it`s part , but we know greedy agents and players always exist....
