Sorry, but I can't agree with you on this one, Chksum. Like you I am both a Red and Python fan but I fail to see the down side. The club's politics are one thing, but footballers since commercial times began have earned extra wedge by putting their name to football boots and the like. True the last decade or two has seen a more substantial and sophisticated marketing machine at play, with players used in a similar role to all people in the public eye such as pop stars, actors and actresses, etc... In fact many a struggling and successful actor has kept the Rolls from the door by doing TV voice-overs and corporate videos. And let's face it, who's the biggest sporting earner in Britain but our own Becks. The main point here is, demand for player and club endorsement is fuelled by their performances on the pitch/stage/screen/charts. This is the crux to everything. Once this suffers at the expense of the extra terrestial trappings then it's time to pull up the drawbridge and let the agents who feed like pirhanas off their clients suck their own dicks. As for the beloved Monty Python, individual members of the cast have been doing ads for years. Where have you been? One final point though. After this afternoon's performance, the only ads our players will be doing will be Senategin.

Re: [RedDevils] 7 - 1
Stuffed at Christmas. I can't believe the players can forget so quickly how they scared the shit out of the Arse. This afternoon we looked as if we couldn't be Arsed. 50/50 balls - let the Boro have 'em. Pathetic. I can't believe players earning £20, 30, 50, 80,000 a week can play like me. Yeah, we can all have off-days but the players have the right to at least try. There's no doubt we have the talent, but commitment - I have my doubts. I think more hairdryers in the players stockings are called for.

RE: [RedDevils] 7 - 1
John, I think we were lucky it wasn`t 7-1 to them. I thought apart from a 10 minute spell after pulling a goal back we looked utterly shit. Our passing, tackling, defending and attacking was uninspiring and sloppy. I can`t fathom how we went on such a good run with so many big name players missing yet now they`re coming back we`re now playing like a sunday side. Absolutely gutted and my christmas is ruined. 5 defeats before the turn of the year and if we win the league after this I`ll dunk my short and curlies in a fish tank full of hungry piranha! I`m off to polish off a crate of beer in the hope the hangover will take away the pain of this defeat!

[RedDevils] Re: [Mufc] The place to be?
yeah i'm definitely grateful for these.. it feels rather strage when the rare occasion that any match is not showing happens. the matches available for us asian fans are fantastic even though with the un-earthly timing of 4am for European matches... but what's the loss of some sleep when we can witness great live football action? merry xmas to reds all over the world, and cheers to good results all over on Boxing Day Ho ho ho...
