Footballers and why we love them

Di Canio - fair play to him - seems to be taking a stand against those footballers at his club, who have more money than brains - most of them it seems.

He dropped Phil Bardsley for being pissed mid week - how can you train properly with a hangover seems to be the fair enough reasoning.

A picture of Bardsley and a couple of others who clearly have far, far more money than class.

Flat out: Phil Bardsley lies with £50 notes spread over his face and body and on the floor around him.

Cash bed: Bardsley lies down on the casino floor amid a spread of £50 notes, while Matthew Kilgallon watches on (white shirt)

Liam Ridgewell was pictured 'wiping his bottom' with £20 notes for a joke.

Nile Ranger spelled out his own name in £1,500 worth of banknotes... hours before being arrested on suspicion of rape

Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Matthew Ghent stalked his ex-lover to the brink of suicide and hours before arrest posted this picture on Facebook

He's played for Burnley has Phil Bardsley.

What a twat.

Although I blame Sky football for making average players into millionaires.

There's no class about it.

Absolute pricks. No class whatsoever. I can see Di Canio putting his foot down ( Jackboot ) and ditching Bardsley.

Talk about rubbing it in, you work all week , pay your way to watch these wankers?

They couldn't give a fuck .

Journalist Question : Will those players be at Sunderland next year if you can control that decision?

PDC : (Pauses) No. Not under me.

I like Di Canio. More managers should be like him.

Unfortunately players have so much power these days that I have little doubt there will be a player mutiny early next season and the board will sack Di Canio.

These sorts of episode are why I'm falling out of love with football. Shit footballers that wouldn't even have been professionals 20-30 years ago earning millions off the back of our money.

Until the fans wise up and stop buying Sky Sports it will only get worse.
