[Archived] £115,000 A Week 'not Enough'

[philipl]

Do any of our lads drive a black Aston Martin soft top?

Whoever it is is a RTA waiting to happen given the way they drove down the A59 at Samlesbury at 1pm today. One of the historic jets was being moved as an abnormal load and the way it was overtaken (and everyone else was passed) was mind boggling.

I think anyone who banjo's a woman is the lowest of the low, skin colour is irrelevant.

Circumstantial. If some chavette tried to mug me on a cold night, I wouldn't think twice about putting her down. If it's good for the goose...

[broadsword]

Self-defence excepted!

[thenodrog]

JHC that's some venom. I agree with you, with the proviso that it probably applies to most high faluting footballers

Good job he's black though or you'd be stymied.

It wouldn't quite give you the same erection that you get from your posts if the villans were white.

Why would aesf be stymied cos he is black? He's just given the example of Lee Hughes ffs! Trust you to snidily attempt to introduce skin colour into the debate Colin. What has happened to you in the past to leave you so obsessed with it?

Goose? Are you referring to King's tactic of feeling their arse first before dropping em?

Got to agree with him (for once), it's clear you wanted to personally attack the guy, but plucking out the old race card with absolutely no justification beggars belief.

I would suggest an apology is due, mainly so you can redeem some credibility.

Glad to see that he's gone to prison, although reading the news report on it there were a couple of surprising things.

Firstly - this is not the first time King has been in trouble for assaulting women, in fact he's been in bother with the police a couple of times before for this, as well as having a string of other offences to his name. The guy is clearly a scumbag, and given all his previous I doubt very much whether he will ever change.

Totally agree with Smithy - why should the likes of Hughes & King get second chances to earn vast sums of money, given the seriousness of the former's offence, and the persistence of the latter's. However money talks louder than morals in football.

Secondly - King was apparently on £40k a week. £40k! For such an average player to be on that wage - a championship level player tbh - is absolutely shocking. If anyone ever needed evidence of over-inflated wages this is it.

King not Harewood, his lawyers will be onto you!

[Blue blood]

King not Harewood, his lawyers will be onto you!

That's the one, thanks.

No idea why i said the wrong one - guess one average striker is much like another.

[broadsword]

I hope he gets a good booting in prison.

[Hughesy]

I keep trying to highlight wages when people say players like MGP are only on £20k - here is abit more evidence to back it up, that they are on far more!

[92er]

On the local TV news this morning it was announced that King is going to appeal against the sentence as well as the sacking by Wigan.

[thenodrog]

I hope he gets a good booting in prison.

I'm sure that he will...... and prob straight after he's complained about somebody grabbing his arse!

[Tom]

He deserves his punishment for me but once he serves that punishment he has paid his debt and should be free to seek employment in any area he chooses, I doubt I'll be seeing him knocking on my door with a bag selling sponges and the likes anyway.

In the grand scale of things his crime as nasty and cowardly as it may be hardly ranks up there in the scale of human evilness.

I honestly doubt have got as much had he not been a footballer.

[mellison24]

That's the one, thanks.

......But Harewood's a midfielder....

[Amo]

Goose? Are you referring to King's tactic of feeling their arse first before dropping em?

Nope, not King. The general taboo about men defending themselves against women.

[thenodrog]

......But Harewood's a midfielder....

Eh?!

[mellison24]

Guess what? I got mixed up hahaha

[speeeeeeedie]

Is his agent the same Tony Finnegan who played for us in the late 80's?

[test]

Sure is the same Tony Finnegan, the same Tony Finnegan who was done for drug dealing.

What a team!
