It always surprised me how Lampard got into that 'mad money' bracket in the first place.

Can't belive this Blatter bloke. Would they allow clubs to drop players if 'they wanted'.  ALEX FERGUSON was last night accused of treating Cristiano Ronaldo like a SLAVE — by the most powerful man in world football. Manchester United boss Fergie was told he should let Ronaldo join Real Madrid, even though the winger has a four-year contract to stay at Old Trafford. The amazing outburst came from FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who raged: In football there’s too much modern slavery.

Lampard reminds me of a friend back home who also did that thing with his tongue whe he was concentrating. The main difference now is that my friend back home earns 25000 in 365 days rather than in just over 1 day.

They should be able to buy out their own contracts for one billion dollarz and a fluffy white cat. Like with soldiers.

Perhaps that's what knocked his brain out of place?

from fifa.com, nov 06 FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter today received the title of honorary member of Real Madrid and a gold and diamond club badge from Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón at a ceremony held at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid. Lampard should just bugger off if you ask me. He needs to 'get real' as you said bobby.

What, 140,000 pounds a week?
I want to know how that works. Why is it 'per week'? They get extra for getting games and the like? Get the same over the 2.5 months off?

Seems there are a lot of slaves in football these days. In an utterance as remarkable as any he has issued this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo declared last night that he agreed with the Fifa president Sepp Blatter's assertion that Manchester United should stop treating him like a "modern-day slave" and release him to Real Madrid.
"I agree with the statements of the president, he is right," Ronaldo said and, pressed on where he would spend next season, he reiterated the point. "You know what I said, what I want and what I would like. Let's see. I agree completely with the president of Fifa. Now I have to wait and see, but I do not know where I will begin the season."
Coming from a 23-year-old who is paid £120,000 a week by a club considering allowing him to complete his recuperation from ankle surgery in the Algarve and delay his return to Manchester, Ronaldo's assertion will prompt as much indignation in football as Blatter did when he said yesterday that players, tied to longer contracts since the Bosman ruling, were enslaved and should be given greater freedom to move on. If this is true, I am very disappointed and offended and I hope he never has the honour to play in a United shirt again.

Latest:
Fifa have ruled that Chelsea are the winners of the the Premier League and Champions League after Man United was found guilty of enslaving their players.
This Fifa shit is truly disturbing.
