CMD gets to choose the prettiest pig they have bred from with the pig jizz we flogged them last year.

I assume he's going to add chef's special sauce to the crispy pig's head as well.

Is it any wonder that people are getting sick of this game of politics.

No money to allow the severely disabled in Britain a little independence, but those poor Sunday league football players in China get 3 million of your/our money as a sweetener so Dave's mates' companies will get a bit more trade from the East.

obviously a deal sweetener. The problem is if the govt spent that on UK grass roots you could make the argument that you're letting the EPL and co off the hook.

The reality is the EPL has no interest in developing grass roots football as everything is done via academies etc. If you're playing pub football you're not considered an asset in the sense of developing your facilities to increase your potential, instead you're viewed as a cash cow. Sky doesn't give a hoot about whether you've got hot showers, they are far more interested in whether you are signed up with them, have their broadband etc etc....Same with the EPL, sadly pub footballers are consumers.
