Barcelona FC are suing a Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, for releasing details of Lionel Messi's contract. £492,000,000 for four years. It's obscene.
Lionel Messi: Barcelona to take legal action after forward's £492m contract leaked https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55873590
-
Over £2,000,000 a week.
-
I believe the highest threshold for Tax in Spain is 60,000Euro and is set at 45%.
Messi will be paying more than the rest of Spain combined! ;D

SO all-in-all, they paid ~9,000,000Euro in fines and 'corrective payments'.
I bet his accountant is at the bottom of the Med! ;D
-
It’s criminal when people are starving and freezing cold.
-
If he can bring about world peace and harmany then I think £492,000,000 is a small price to pay. :y :y :y :y
Oh......it seems he is a footballer who kicks a ball around on a muddy piece of grass. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

24600 nurses/or others at £20,000 PA. :)

Someone's had his calculator out ;D

I'm sure he is worth it.

I think Bale has to scrape by on £600,000 a week. :-\
Poor lamb.

Poor mutton on those low wages ???

Mehut Özil was Arsenals highest paid player for the last few years. He was shite, so he didn't play, but refused to move unless they paid his contract off. They didn't, and he's just moved to another club on a free transfer. Players and, to some extent, managers, have got them by the wotsits. It must have cost Chelsea dear to sack Frank Lampard 15 months into a three year contract.

I don’t like football anyway since they all turned into nancyboys jumping on the floor at the tiniest tap. Bring back the proper heavy leather balls from the sixties for a start, the ones that doubled their weight if it was raining ;D

A slap in the face from one of them, laces forward, on a freezing cold, wet day had you crying for your mum ;D
-
Those were the days a thick piece of bread and butter jam if you were lucky :y and we would play until it was to dark to see. God alive, the footballs we used would cave your chest in for an hour or two if you got hit by a good shot :o
-
Bread and jam? Bloody luxury. When I were a lad....... ;D
-
The irony is, it was true sometimes for Many of us on here back in the day I bet🙁

Yeah. Proper dripping with meat jelly in it. It's a wonder any of us made it to out forties. Imagine taking that to school for your packed lunch now. Social services would be called ;D
-
I guess sliced pig's head brawn might be frowned upon now too
"Kids today......"
-
Sugar sandwiches were my special treat. Usually just bread and butter though.
-
I never had brawn, although I'd have eaten it if offered. We ate anything and everything that was put in front of us, no likes and dislikes then. Growing up in Toxteth was hard, we were always hungry. Skinny little street rats, blue jeans washed and scrubbed almost white. Toes kicked out of our shoes, because every lad you came across had a footie under his arm. You'd bump into another gang of lads and just start playing.
The food was scarce and crap, the smog from burning coal was always in the air, but we were fit, really fit. Never stopped running and playing footie, from morning till dark. I reckon I could have run across snow without leaving a footprint, I weighed nothing and was so light on my feet.
Say what you like, but now we're in our 60's/70's, that upbringing did us no harm at all. I've never been seriously ill, and........gasp.....urrrrgh......👻
;D

Sugar butties, Albs, butties. ;D

Where I came from they were saameejis. :P ;D

Aye, sounds about right. Irish lads in Liverpool called them butties, or else ;D

In Scotland, it was 'Hey ma, hoy us a jelly piece'.

And in Wales, Rae? ;D

We played until our mothers were screaming for us to come in, as said bread and butter and jam sandwich and that would last all day, bit of breast of lamb stew then with leeks carrots swede onions and parsnips and all the bread you could eat.👍

Breast was cheaper. Roast it to death until all the fat went crispy on the outside and ran down your face when you ate it. Lovely.

Bet Lionel Messi's never had a dripping buttie ;D

Lamb cutlets are very nice, but at £1 per small chop, expensive. Esp when you're a greedy bastard who could easily eat ten ;D
-
No, the breast would be cut up after we finished suckling on it ;D then boiled, nothing wasted, it was tender and the fat was lovely. I still make it myself now :y : can’t beat it after fetching a pine end down in the heart of winter.
-
Being Welsh of course I love lamb in more ways than one ::) absolutely beautiful with anchovies and rosemary and black pepper Roasted well.
-
Shame for him poor bastard don’t know what he’s Messieing :D
I'd have it in a kebab ,but I don't have take a ways anymore since covid ;)
or a very lean fillet :P
I don't like Lamb fat
crispy beef fat and pork scratchings, belly draft etc I can eat and eat and eat

Anything tastes great after four hours in a pan with carrots or cabbage with onion. Me mam could feed six of us for two days on a a good piece of meat. Bacon ribs with lentils, barley, spuds, onion and cabbage was a real belly buster, and when it went too thick to scoop, throw another pan of boiling water in it. The meal that just kept on giving. ;D

No that’s sacred

Pulling a stick of rhubarb from the plant giving it a wipe down with a grubby hand to get rid of any loose dirt helped fill the gap between meals.
Away from food though I see trump is one of the nominees for the Nobel peace prize and apparently MI6 are to recruit part time "spies" in the name of diversity :o

I'm pretty sure most people don't do this sort of thing these days. :-\ It's takeaways and ready meals and then they moan that the government doesn't give them enough to live on! :-X
I bought a large chicken in Lidl the other day for about £3.50 and a load of veg for about £1.50. I had a roast chicken dinner the first night, cold chicken meat with fried roast potatoes the second, then I made a chicken/spaghetti stew with the rest which lasted two more nights and there was probably enough for 2 more nights but I couldn't face it. :-X Oh and a couple of rounds of chicken sarnies as well! :y

I doubt Trump will win ,but who knows in this "Crazy, crazy, crazy world " :D
Part time spies might save money ,rishi sunak has been firing the cash cannon a lot over the last year I doubt spies "clock on and off " anyway :-\

If he doesn't win it'll be because of all the illegal votes :D

I'll have to look for the full list of nominees, no doubt it will be full of worthy candidates.

Hmmmm....no sign of BLM, so Opti was mistaken. Thunberg, Trump and Navalny are the front runners, apparently. I don't know why Greta is there, what has she got to do with the peace prize?

Is No one nominating China for all their work on giving the world Chinese Virus :-\ ,then selling us PPE ,extra laptops ,etc etc

China will finish us all one way or another if they have their way... however Putin is watching them closely he doesn’t want them poking around the icecap and India has already tightened up dramatically. Biden doesn’t seem phased by them at the moment and there is an aircraft carrier fleet near Taiwan where there has been a lot of tension this week with the Chinks flying over Taiwan’s airspace in fighters and bombers. Of course China claims Taiwan is part of China.
