• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

And, we’re off.......2018/2019

Still can't believe what I saw on Saturday evening. Chelsea just didn't turn up. David Luiz had the worst game I've seen from a defender in a long, long time. What sort of defender jumps out of the way of a long range effort? And his attempt to stop Son's goal was actually laughable. Lovely bonus 3 points then I didn't expect to get which leaves us looking healthy in the table. Just the small matter of Arsenal next.

Here's hoping the gunners defence bucks the trend and isn't as generous as chelsea's...
 
I know I only posted last week, after a long time, but I really have fallen out of love with football. This has happened over a period of time.
For me the above article clearly states what's wrong with the modern game, ruined by money. In addition the game is more like a non contact sport with players at ALL clubs cheating, diving and falling over like academy nominated actors.
The money has increased the cost for Sky, which I no longer have. When I do watch MOTD I find myself drifting away during the second game.
My main focus these days is Golf

What happened to basic pay plus win bonus and performance related pay.

Was there ever performance related pay ?

Players still get win Bonuses and goal bonues plus many more other area they pick up money from - it’s the way it is now

It’s just bigger pay now

The game has definitely moved on and not necessarily for the better with all the money involved. However golf is no longer the game it was and there is significant money in the sport too especially on the PGA tour. Both have sold their souls to TV and marketing but we're where we are with it all and I just accept the situation and enjoy the sport in front of me on the TV

I am not saying they don’t get these anymore and I know the pay now is stupid.
But how can UTD players be getting more than City players the way each other play.
I would pay to watch City but not to Watch United.

It can only be the size of the squad.

Because UTD have always paid their players more than anyone else in the League regardless of how well they are doing

That will soon stop if they carry on like they are.
It’s ok paying top whack if in CL and winning the league / cups.

Sorry but their income from merchandise etc etc is huge - and it will still be huge even if they aren’t winning the league or CL - match day income is massive as is commercial

Yeah, because most of the top golfers are on the bread line. Um, no. They would not get out of bed for sensible money.

Integrity and honesty, there lies the difference
 
In a day and age of fake news, I read this and don't know if it is true or not, but.

“League goals and assists since the start of last season:

Kylian Mbappé:
24 goals, 12 assists.

Raheem Sterling:
25 goals, 21 assists.”
 
So, Arsenal are going to the Ukraine on Thursday, a country that has just declared martial law, to play in a stadium in the middle of no where, in minus 13 degrees.

But UEFA say it is fine, so it must be.
