I once read that if Arsenal gave Barnet half of their food, drink, programme and merchandise takings from just one sold out match, Barnet could run their club for 2 years!

It's this kind of excess that makes me avoid watching any Premier League football these days, I loathe the Prem, I'd sooner watch f***ing Monkey Tennis* * (C) or Copyright Alan Partridge

Three and a half days salary of Gareth Bale would have saved Kettering Town last season !

I remember when Altrincham played Millwall in the FA Cup one year, one of the Alty players who was also a brick layer built a turnstile for the club so they could open more of the ground and therefore get more money!

TABLOID READER, RUN AWAY!!!ll Seriously though, all newspapers talk sh*t, epworth, even the so-called broadsheets. They just tart themselves up to look 'intellectual', when in fact they peddle the same crap, they just print their bullsh*t for the benefit of people who don't just buy newspapers for the t*ts and cartoons! All t*rds in the same pot for me, and I haven't bought one since 31st August 1997, not a single one. I wonder how many trees I've saved?

Totally agree, Gazza. It's even worse since all the papers went online. They need new stories every 10 minutes to stay 'fresh'. As newsworthy events only happen every 2 or 3 days, they have to make stuff up - and so on a regular basis.
The classic in the sports pages is something like: 'Big club in bid for x player. The club deny it, but it's thought they bid y million.' As they say, it's so bad you couldn't make it up. Oh, wait...
(For the record I am an occasional BBC Sport website reader, not a tabloid reader!)
A newsboy was standing on the corner with a stack of papers, yelling, "Read all about it. Fifty people swindled! Fifty people swindled!"
Curious, a man walked over, bought a paper, and checked the front page. Finding nothing, the man said, "There's nothing in here about fifty people being swindled."
The newsboy ignored him and went on, calling out, "Read all about it. Fifty-one people swindled!"

I am sure the tabloids have the equivalent of a "football one armed bandit".
First reel - players names second reel - club names third reel - prices in £m
Reporter pulls the handle, see what comes up in the window and, hey presto, we have a new story.
