Is this a wind up?... footie related...

It's not April Fools Day is it? If not, and IF true, the guy has to be the biggest 'up his own a**' type of person.

He's not interested in money he says, just respect (has no-one ever told him that respect can only be earned), so this quote made me choke with laughter...

"He got a cake but when it was Roberto Carlos's birthday, the president of Anzhi gave him a Bugatti," Seluk told BBC Sport.

I now fully expect my employers, when it's my birthday, to close the store for an hour while I'm feted and showered with gifts, and I expect the CEO to fly up from London and shake my hand. (He did actually do that a few Christmas's ago when he made an unannounced visit)

I saw this & thought the same Raffles. I don't get a happy birthday wish from my boss:( Trouble is these footballers live in dream land mate.

Just seen a clip on the local (Granada) news of the team singing 'Happy Birthday' to him on the plane to Dubai. He didn't move a muscle, just slumped there with his headphones on. What a ****. My grandsons have got more common courtesy than him... I sooooooo could go on!

One of the main reasons I have never watched mainstream football, they are all overpaid bankers with a capital W who think they are God's gift to the world etc., who think they can get away with murder.

Rather watch my local 7th division team, and have a good laugh with the opposing fans.

Dulwich Hamlet, we were looking good for promotion for the 2nd year running until the last 4 games, never mind, there's always next season.

Dulwich Hamlet ... More people should support their local team instead of sitting on the sofa "supporting" their team on Sky.

I've been to see my team, AFC Wimbledon, play at Champion Hill several times against you and against Fisher. Nice ground. I have to say I wish it had taken us longer to get out of the Non League divisions. I really enjoyed it, went home and away every week. Now I can't afford to go away.

Good luck next season Bob!

Thanks, due to my wife's health problems, I normally only get to the afternoon home matches, and maybe the odd close away ones, like the Met at Thames Ditton, she's not allowed to use the ovens/cookers now, so i have to be home to make all meals, she can make sandwiches but she might forget and then not eat, that's why I retired early, also have home help for her, and they provide extra cover for when I need to have a break away from it all, like from Friday for just over a week when I'm off to Latvia with a Railway Association I belong to.
