Haha, £300k a year?

He will be on £70k a year tops - even a sports ed would be lucky to be pushing £250k a year these days.

I know guys at The Sun on £30k a year and get a fancy digital editor title.

Those salaries don't exist, outside of for someone like Martin Samuel, who is closer to £700k a year after his move to the Times.

What about the side hustles from Rags, Dippers, UEFA etc

Journos who pay nothing for tickets have no platform to criticise the atmosphere in a ground.

I can recall Alan Green doing a radio commentary and constantly complaining and moaning about fans standing and blocking his view. At some some point, his co-commentator, (David Pleat I think) called him (Green) an idiot.

They don't exist.

They do it for free, I'm embarrassed to tell you!

Surely not, at least the Agents must pay?

No drum, no party ;)

One bitter twat walking out at the final whistle deliberately walked in to my shoulder going the other way.

I just laughed and called him a sad ****.

Unprovoked German aggression? Next thing you know they'll be invading Poland.

The Bild is not my German paper of choice, to say the least. I was just sharing the source material for anyone interested in the story about Bellingham, which I agree is bullshit.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound aggressive towards you mate.

From the BBC
“A number of accounts are tweeting that according to German publication Bild, the sought after midfielder has ruled out a move to either Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris St-Germain because he wants to play for a club with values like "passion, honour, and reputation", rather than money.”

If that’s true, it will be interesting to see where he finally ends up

That comment reeks of the private briefing put out by LFC yesterday to deflect from the fact they aren't getting Bellingham because he wants to play in a CL team. Of course the BBC are happy to publish it without attributing it to any source. They think football fans are stupid but we can spot their distortions a mile off.

Unfortunately most of them are incredibly stupid and tend to believe what narrative suits them best

German fans are so overrated
Churn out the same monotone drum beat and songs - check
Bring out the morally superior banners - check
Bundesliga is like La liga….shit and no match for the prem
Their season is over now, that’s why do bitter
A league win for Bayern means fuck all.

I agree. I thought their fans were shite. Just an orchestrated robotic chant with no passion or response to what was happening on the field. Give me Napoli or Aris Salonika fans all day long. Presumably they also did their moronic attention-seeking march to the ground as well. Bayern fans leave me cold and the Alllianz Arena is like a library, unless 1860 are playing there.

I hear Notts County maybe looking for a marquee player to join their project if they manage to get promoted to League Two.
