You speak for yourself (or for others, if they're happy to let you).
Not for this yellow puppet though.
Sure, I don't coil in 130 grand a week, a month - or even a year. And I wouldn't turn my nose up at a few quid more (who wouldn't?).
But I enjoy a decent standard if living, and can afford to buy / pretty much anything I want / need (within reason), I have a nice crib to kick back in (complete with all the decadent comforts), a decent motor, a few quid in the bank ......
Why would I need to be jealous?
No warren. Like I said above - it's all about proportionality.
It's not so much how many sports cars Rio Ferdinand owns that gets folks' hackles up, or how many mansions the Beckhams own (who needs more than one anyway, and who really gives a fuck?).
I think one thing that really pisses off a lot of people (myself included) about the whole thing is that there's all this money sloshing around at the top level of the game, while further down the tree clubs (including long-established pro clubs) are struggling to survive because of this obscenely uneven distribution of wealth.
Given your own oft-repeated advocacy of wealth redistribution, I'm amazed that you haven't seen fit to climb up on your high horse and say something about that.
