Really? You have to ask that?! Oil of course, sometimes taxes of the poor people or just plain dictators (Anzhi comes to mind). Abramovich is just about the most famous one in football, he put his money into Chelsea (and some other teams too)
It's a shame, oil money is ruining football 
Hulk was such an amazing player to watch, going to Russia seems like destroying your career. I can understand close to retiring players that just want to secure their future, but hulk still had many years ahead, same as Nilmar, Thiago Silva or Ibra, hell, even Raul or Drogba. It's a shame players are choosing money over a good team.

Anzhi got their money from an investor not a dictator.
Lots of people are saying Zenit are going to sell Hulk in a year or two for even more money but I have no idea who would buy him.
Hmmmm it was either Anzhi or Dnipro Dnipropetrevesk, the Belgian press wrote a few articles a year ago because some of our players went there.
Oh, good news! Apparently we gave more of the South area of the stadium to Birmingham too (last year during EL), so there's a good chance Newcastle will get more than only the regular Away-compartment. Maybe you'll get 5000 places or so, I can't tell for sure.
I just realized the first week of Fantasy Premier League I bought Michu and started him for 5.5 million.
Swansea only paid 2 million in real life.

In about 1 hour the beginning of a new WC campaign starts for Belgium! Kicking off with Wales - Belgium, going to be hard, they really have quite a good team.

Just read Joe Allen is out of the team, sick! Looking better now!
Well the Belgian press just brought a lot of things to my attention, like that they were much higher on the FIFA ranking than us (just under Croatia actually) and their entire team plays in the PL too! Sure they don't have Hazard and Kompany, but if everyone is decent it's a good team nonetheless.

No because its been proven the idea is retarded..
The rise of our FIFA ranking had a lot to do with Gary Speed as manager. Speedo than comitted suicide and we now have Chris Coleman who has spent the last six years regressing as a manager.
Here's our starting eleven:
Myhill, Blake, James Collins, Ashley Williams, Gunter, Edwards, Ramsey, Bale, Matthews, Church, Morison.
Myhill is the reserve team keeper for West Brom, Collins is shit, Edwards, I forgot he existed until today. Church is a decent second tier striker and Morison tries very hard.
Belgium should kill us.
100% correct after seeing images, mental tackle!
Referee wasn't perfect, true, it's a bit harsh the second goal comes from that decision though, I can definitely see Wales pointing at the referee now, while that shouldn't be necessary.... Belgium never lost control of this game frankly, you were right emigre, we kind of killed you.

I can't be bothered to go through 218 pages, but probably
Tonight second qualifying match, vs Croatia. Titled the clash between the 2 favourites of this group, can't wait! Hard to predict but I'll follow the general hype that surrounds the national team and go for 3-0!
