		<description><![CDATA[Here is Robert Peston&#8217;s commentary on the refinancing of Liverpool FC, a situation on which I have had my beady eye for a while. But Peston does not get to the nub of the problem. Liverpool and Manchester United have been borrowing to sustain performance. They will both find themselves having to pay back the money [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I wrote a post about the spiralling debt at the top of the Premiership. In order to feed their gluttonous spending spree, top football teams, most notably Manchester United and Liverpool have been running up enormous debts, or at least their parent companies have. Despite their great successes in recent years, these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These figures also show that Arsenal is the only team to live within its means. They have had no choice, lacking the big external cash injections of the other of the big four. They have  had to make do and subsist, with the funding gap plugged by Arsene Wenger's wiliness and his talent in spotting greatly undervalued talent in foreign, cheaper players (English players are way too expensive - they need to be kept in emerald crack pipes, and rare albino prostitutes, I imagine).

		<description><![CDATA[Darts is the only seriously contended sport I can think of where drinking alcohol is actually an integral part of the training and pre-match conditioning.* You can't blame them really. These guys have to stand up in front of hundreds of people, all of whom are pissed-up like Geordie cab-drivers and twice as violent. They have to throw delicate arrows at tiny targets whilst making tricky mathematical computations. No wonder the average darts player limbers up for a match with a good three or four pints of old peculiar. It is not unknown for players to come out to the oche (throwing position) too bladdered to even throw straight. I love how the commentators always discuss it as some sort of tactical miscalculation.

		<description><![CDATA[Extras are a funny lot. They are the sort of people you'd buy from Ikea.

On my way out of Ravenscourt Park today, I walked past a gang of little rudeboy whippersnappers on bikes. They were playing a game which involved throwing coins at a wall. One of the scamps crooned to me: "Oi boss! Oi boss! It's my Birthday today..." I grinned from ear-to-ear and said: "Oh really? Happy Birthday!" In a over-effusive yet genuine voice. To my surprise the little tyke cocked his head over, leaned back on his bicycle, and said "Ta very much!" whilst issuing a thumbs up. I walked of thinking to myself that surely something else was supposed to have happened]]></description>

A lot of my friends, however, dislike football, more specifically the watching of it, intensely.
