Milner looked comfortable  on that bench. He was obviously using  his fat wallet as a cushion!

So he's not in the first team lol? Are they playing Fat Baz, De-Thug, Silva, Toure and Adam Johnson now in midfield?

Why is it footballers sell their livelihood for a few extra quid rather than staying somewhere to make a difference and improve themselves. the career is so short can they afford to warm benches. No wonder England are so rubbish given the bhig team can afford the but cant afford to play them.
I've said it before and even tho I bore myself with it, I'll say it again.

Allowing teams to have 7 substitutes is killing any hope of competitiveness within the top division. It's so much easier now for the Sky 4 / 5 / 6 to have an entire squad of internationals and for the most part keep them happy with the various competitions and the generally accepted hype that teams need to be rotated.

Think about when we signed Dean Saunders. A genuine top-drawer British talent who was at the time deemed surplus to requirements at The 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'. Nowadays, he'd be a regularly used sub and playing in the odd cup game with a view to getting back in the starting eleven and happy to sit on the bench and collect the pay cheque in the meantime.
