England - well someone had to

Ha Ha Ha its the oldest Joke in town - england played a game of football last night.

I have to admit that I was very perturbed at the thought of paying yet another fee to another awful TV channel for the privilege of seeing the new england under fabulous cappello.

I listened instead to 5live and need not have worried that I had missed anything novel. Did the FA sell the rights to sentantneatta to raise extra cash to pay off wombley stadium? At least if you watched the Olympics they seem to manage to perform to extremes on lottery money better than our so called "superstar" footballers.

When will the england players realise that once they put on "the shirt" they are judged solely by their performance and not by the number of zeros in their salary? I was booing in my living room at them. They must surely realise that if they were paid £500 per week they would at least get some sympathy for the incompetent performances.

Time to switch off the sports channels so that the revenue that created the Premier league ends and we get back to loving/hating our footballers based on whether they can play or not. It is no longer value for money despite what the money makers in the league say.

Frankly Im totally disillusioned with all football matters above the championship, it has become a meaningless charade of who can pay even more ridiculous money for players who turn up for 90 minutes once or twice a week and are tired at the start of the season. Which brings me to another point - the premier league have been after a Xmas break for ages to rest the players - seemed a good idea after all they do it in spain. But now they want the break to organise competitions abroad to sell the brand, what a bunch of greedy people.

Yours disrespectfully to money football Henners

PS I support sheffield united just so you know and no I wasnt surprised that we survived 1 season in the premier league - I was more shocked we actually got there in the first place. :-)
