You know what they say in this world, money talks.

It’s most definitely been talking to me these past few days and it has been saying the following, “Some people have too much, and some can’t get enough”

We have heard in the news recently that Cole had been arrested for drink-driving in his £50k car? With all due respect to Mr. Cole, who has tried so desperately to win over the fans, are you really not all with it? You know, £20k a week would hire you a decent chauffeur to drive you around Westminster at 4:30 in the morning. But then a £10 cab fare and a donation of your absurd money to the Bobby Moore fund would change a lot more people’s lives, and put a whole lot less in danger.

Carlton Cole, I don’t care if you are sorry because the likelihood is that you are only sorry because you are facing two whole weeks out of your life whereby you will have to be scrimping and saving. Hard life.

To do what he did is a pure unadulterated act of stupidity, yet he earns more than all of our highly talented Olympians who represent their country with pride and with honour. People must have been pulling my leg when he was being tipped for England a couple of weeks ago, but it’s OK now, he has just given me another reason why he does not deserve it.

I am going to phrase this as politely as possible, I never really warmed to Cole when he joined us. For a player to join West Ham and say that he sees it as a great stepping stone onto bigger clubs is officially one of the worst things you can ever mutter. Even if it’s quietly, under your breath. He has clearly recently realised that he actually isn’t good enough for ‘bigger’ clubs and hence publicly committed his future to us. Just what we need, and over paid, foolish player. Great.

That leads quite nicely onto what I can only describe as the immoral greed of some of the Sheffiled United players. How in their right minds do they honestly believe that they deserve to claim for loss of wages? Maybe I am over exaggerating, but it physically makes me sick.

Have they seen the state of the world lately? There are poverty stricken areas even our own country, yet they feel that in their heart of hearts, that tens of thousands of pounds a week is not good enough.

As a quick rain check for the players who are considering sueing, maybe it has slipped your attention that actually the very reason of you not actually being good enough to beat Wigan on the last day of the season is why you got relegated. You are not good enough at what you do, yet you are demanding other people pay for your mistakes.

The Daily Mail published pages 37-47 of the arbitration report yesterday, and it said in there that Sheffield United were equally responsible for their own relegation. That is what the court ruled. So for any Blunts fans out there who honestly believe, and I quote, that you “should be getting closer to £60m compensation” (for whatever reason I don’t know), unfortunately for you the reality is that it more likely the fee (if any within the next 2 or 3 years) will actually be £15m. Making each club half responsible for your relegation.

But then if you live by that rule, every club in the Premier League should owe you £1.5 because surely everyone is responsible for your relegation. But then you could argue that actually we owe you a little less because you actually beat us. (see how stupid it sounds when you look at it like that?)

No matter what way you look at the court ruling or the individual players sueing, it is just arrogant, selfish, immoral and positively sickening greed that is driving these people. It’s not even justice any more.Your problem is no longer with West Ham United, it is with the Premier League.

My prediction is that so long as McCabe and his cronies drag out this affair, Sheffield United as a ‘footballing’ team will never fulfill what they could be capable of.
