I don't have sympathy either. The old adage - if something seems too good to be true it usually is. I'm sure they saw easy pickings and are now paying for it. Their choice so you live and die by the sword and get over it.

Yes but like I said higher up the thread these boys lives were too good to be true. They have loads of money and all the trappings that come with it; they are heroes and have fans and 'hangers on' treat them like Kings; they have women throw themselves at them; they work a couple of hours a day; and they are in peak physical fitness.
The whole world seems to be available to them.
At what point does anyone with a life like that question if something seems a little too good to be true?
It depends if the money they've lost is a drop in the bucket to them or not. If it is then fair comment but if it's not then maybe they should have questioned whether it was too good to be true. Everyone has their financial threshold and if they really have lost 100m then maybe their threshold is reached. There's always somebody out there to take you for a mug if you're willing/foolish enough to let them.

Rob, I don't disagree with you about the realities of their loss but as they can't have known what their losses were going to be, and in fact probably assumed they wouldn't lose any of it, it is unrealistic to expect them to realise that it seemed too good to be true.
As I said they lived the lives that almost everyone on the planet wants. Virtually everything that can go well for them has done, in some cases absolutely everything has. They would just not be mentally conditioned to ever believe that anything could go wrong because nothing ever does!
I know people from privileged backgrounds and they, honestly, believe that nothing is too good to be true - and they is often proved to be the case.
If you have someone paying you millions of pounds a year to play football nothing else could be more 'too good to be true'.
He's on talksport this morning. Was saying how if someone took a picture of him pissed on their phone he used to get his mates to take the phone off them and smash it up . What an utter cretin he is.

I'm with him on this one. Why shouldn't famous people be able to get pissed without worrying about pictures of them appearing somewhere because everyone has a camera with them theses days?
Never too sure with these 'celebs', one minute they want privacy, next minute they want publicity, suppose it depends on whether they have a film/book/tv show to promote.
And make sure your mates Check whose phone you feel like trying to take are not with more boys than you are and who think you are a money grabbing cnut
If you are thinking of Danny Mills, I do not believe he can be described as a washed-up nobody
Mills is a patron of Shine (formerly the Association for Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus), and has raised money for the charity since the death of his son Archie from the condition in 2002. He has also appeared on BBC Five Live's Fighting Talk. Mills now acts as a regular pundit and commentator (often alongside Alan Green) for BBC Radio Five Live's coverage of the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and England national football team matches.
In 2010 he competed in the Brighton Marathon in a wheelchair to raise money for Shine and the National Association of Disabled Supporters, completing the race in two hours, 43 minutes.
Danny was a runner up, along with Michael Underwood, on the 2012 series of Celebrity MasterChef. He was beaten by Emma Kennedy in a closely contested final.
In the summer of 2013, Mills along with Leeds United goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown rowed the English Channel in a rowing boat for charity, to raise awareness of Melanoma skin cancer, in memory of former Leeds United fitness coach Bruce Craven, who died of the disease aged 32.
I don't like the way he left us but as a pundit he's not too bad at all. As for the Danny Mills who a previous poster confused him with - He's bloody awful.
Aren't all these stories about Murphy just rumours? Of course they suit our need to slag him off for leaving but seems like he and Curbs had a falling out and he moved on. Wasn't the first player Curbs fell out with. I thought he always put a shift in and was a quality player for us. Like him as a pundit too.

But if it's frowned upon for them to be out and about due to circumstances then they shouldn't be doing that. I'm thinking Jack Grealish...
Not that it would be frowned upon but just that they don't want it in the public eye due to privacy.
I get that, but that's one of the sacrifices of being in a position to be earning the money they do I would say.
Certainly not an excuse to smash up phones! :-)
Given that his two seasons with us were 2004-6, it was when he was with us
Said he regretted not going. Wanted to, but for contractual reasons couldn't.
Fuck off
Nowadays, he is a washed-up nobody.
