    First things first: have you seen that Imogen thomas? What giggs did is totally normal, not a red blooded man alive wouldn't have a go on that if it was offered on a plate ida and they thought they could get away with it - we're all animals at the end of the day. I agree with injunctions though, it is none of our business what giggs did and the way the papers discuss it is disgusting, do they not care about Giggs' wife and kids. Personally I'd be much worse, I'd have them on a conveyor belt and I'd be doing cocaine on my cornflakes and out on the lash all night, end up hungover, not turning up for training and eventually get sacked and prob. end up like George Best. Hey ho.

    Secondly all the football money comes from fans. By and large football fans are somewhat moronic. They pay hand over fist for sky, replica shirts and season tickets. If they don't like it they shouldn't hand the money over - good luck to the footballers imo, not their fault, nor the agents, managers, money men etc - it is the fans' fault, and I don't care about the fans. Fergie had to request his fans not to sing songs accusing Wenger of being a !!!!!phile !!!!!!. City fans used to sing derogotary songs about the Munich air disaster. Alright these are exceptional cases, but I just wouldn't go and pay money to be in that environment, yet some people take their kids. Sky is awful, wouldn't pay 10p for that crap - as for replica shirts - I'm a lifelong Luton fan but've never felt the need to buy or wear a shirt. I couldn't give two monkeys what they earn, it ain't my money. I find primadonna foreigners rolling around pretending to cry like a little girl so as to try and cheat the opposition and fool the ref far more disgusting than the money. And swearing at the ref - who'd want their kids to even watch that, let alone fund it?

    Rant over.

    if the guy earns millions a year what has it to do with anyone else. he's a talented person making the most for himself and his family.

    if the guy decides to go with another woman what has it got to with anyone else, apart from him, his wife and the Big Brother contestant.

    too many people love these car crash stories that get quite boring.

    You solely are the cause for the position Luton Town are in and the 20 point deduction they recieved for failing to get out of administration.

    Life long fan my anus!! What an insult! I wouldnt say anything if your rant had been about premiership and top leagues but to say your a 'lifelong luton fan' is riddiculous. Clubs like luton NEED money from gate reciepts and shirts and even this doesnt cover it. As a luton fan you know that these clubs more or less constanly run at a loss and are often subsidised by wealthy fans (chairmen) just so they can keep their passion and the fans passion alive.

    Nothing you can say is going to convince me that I'm not a lifelong Luton fan I'm afraid. But good luck trying.
