The loyalty implied here is more towards the "clients" though. Not leaving a football club because "we're a family" is more like not leaving your call-centre because the people you take calls from got used to you and they love you. LOL


Isn't football the sport when your fans suddenly spit on you when you leave for the opposite team, just because it's in fact all business?


Pretty much.

So if you have better salary that a regular guy, you should have a different work law to abide? That's stupid.


No but going to a club you may not really want to go to and leaving a club you may enjoy playing for, purely for the money (I'm not saying he did that), is annoying.  Especially when players like that are on silly money.

He could have easily stayed where he was and not been in the slightest bit poor.


All of what you said is purely hypothetical.

It's not loyalty to your employer it's loyalty to thousands of fans

Football can f**k off and die, including handegg and rugby. I'm sick of the general nature of them.

That sounded harsh... just for a while, after the RWC.

Plus every game he falls over and cheats.

I liked him at Liverpool. But then he showed he is just a fickle typical spaniard who goes for a big contract over loyalty


If wanted to leave your employer for another one where you'd have better money and a refresh of everything, you'd stay though because of "loyalty"? Confused

He was hardly on pennies at Liverpool. And he was back on track with Liverpool whereas he's just nothing at Chelsea. But he is now getting shown what a bad decision it was since Liverpool are on the rise and Chelsea are falling fast


I was interested in you responding my question, if I asked it Wink

urm k. 

Either way when theres so much money in football it kind of annoys me when players leave their clubs in the top flight in the way Torres did. The same with how Andy Carrol came to Liverpool

James, I used to be excited about the new Battles too, until I heard the single. The lack of Tyondai shows quite strong.


No way, that is at least 80% less annoying than the songs from Mirrored.

And damn it we're back to the f**king morse code.
