The Olympics are only just over, the Paralympics yet to begin and cricket is still "in season," with South Africa currently taking on England. Thinking of London 2012, I can't help but notice the stark contrast between the best competitors drawn from across the globe and the so called professionals who play the "beautiful game" in this country. You know the ones: players who receive weekly salaries of more than most can dream of in a lifetime and yet spend most of their time
fouling, rolling on the ground feigning injury and (in the case of the England/team GB squad) not really giving a stuff or trying their utmost*.
Yes you've guessed it: The football season has started; it seems barely yesterday the old season had finished but there you go. Newly promoted (to the Premier League) Reading entertained Stoke at the
Mad Stad. The final score being one apiece. Not a bad start.
* Obviously I don't include the boys of Reading FC in this assessment LOL.
