Does anyone really care about how much money is being lost? It`s all over the news lately but these guys can obviously afford it and if they can`t it`s their life and they can do as they choose! So why is it getting so much attention?

Its typical of the media in this country. Build em up, knock em down

I reckon there`s just nothing else going on at the minute so the press are just trying to bring up old crap again. It`s been going on ever since 60`s/70`s and it`s not very interesting, I don`t even bother reading about it.

Hello,

I think it`s important to mention that these players may be role models for our children.
Michael Owen has various spoinsorship deals aimed directly at easily influenced children/youths. Don`t you think he should take some responsibility off the field, if he is prepared to take the cash for these sponsorship deals ?

The same should be said for Pop Stars, Film Stars etc...the best example being Ginger Spice selling her Yoga Video, as a weight loss trick, while checking in for Bulimia treatment.

I think we should be informed about this type of thing.

That`s my view, no offence meant.

" I think we should be informed about this type of thing "

Ok but does it merit getting the first 5 pages of a sunday national paper ? maybe a bit in the sports section perhaps

Wayne,

I agree, it no where near merits that kind of coverage, i can think of loads more things I`d like to see.

Neil.
