What does this have to do with criticism of the football team? He travelled around the corner/he travelled 5,000 miles. What's the difference? It's the weaving into the story of a monetary aspect that's nonsensical. FFS, he should have gone all the way and asked the FA for a credit voucher to spend at B&Q for shoddy goods. I just dont get all this 'I've put coin down here to watch you lad. You better win' stuff. Performance and match results aren't commodities you can purchase.
you should work for the arabs at eastlands i think they could change your beliefs.
