Connor Wickham blows £17,500 on bottle of champagne...

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Its 15 LITRES tho eh? Big old bottle. Relative to our incomes, we've probably all done worse. Don't agree with the spraying around tho, that's a waste of good champagne. Should imagine its not gone down too well in some quarters tho.

 

[Footsoldier]

I'm sure there are plenty of City traders, company directors, mates of Prince Harry and Michael Winner types who wouldn't think twice about spending £17k on a bottle of vintage wine in a Michelin starred restaurant any day of the week.

They don't make the papers though, for some reason.

Don't be argumentative.

What a legend, love that boy

 

[Mackenzie]

Seems a bit of a waste of money to me, but it'll help the economy of Spain a little bit which is a good thing.

Reason I cancelled sky.

"good evening. You are through to Rajesh at Sky. May I take your name"

"Footsoldier"

"Hello Footsoldier, how can I help?"

"Id like to cancel my sky subscription please"

"Ok Mr Soldier. As a matter of interest may I ask as to why you will be cancelling with us today?"

"Connor Wickham spent a lot of money on some champagne"

"I understand sir."

 

[GoingUp]

Good lad

 

[BLOCK F]

It says a lot about the state of the game if a pretty damn average English player can burn 17k on a bottle of booze. No wonder players seem to level out quickly. Why bother?

Agree!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I had a pint of Sharps Doombar last night in Wetherspoons at Glasgow Queen Street station and it set me back £1.95 FFS!

Do I not know what it must feel like to poor Connor?

Yes, obviously, but who really gives a shit about someone deciding to spunk their money in a way they choose?

Me? Is it wrong to care about your world

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yes, obviously, but who really gives a shit about someone deciding to spunk their money in a way they choose?

I do not think this is the actual issue for most. It's more to do with the fact that off the back of England's limp showing in the WC we see a very very average footballer with such spending power.

Agree with this.

The issue for me is not that he spends 17k on a bottle of Champagne, god knows what I'd spend money on if I was that wealthy. It's that he can afford to in the first place.

But that said, as a subscriber to Sky, I guess it's partly my fault, a bit like moaning about traffic when sitting in a traffic jam.

 

[Puppet Master]

Sigh. How the other half live

 

[8ace]

He's not exactly beating them off with a shitty stick as the only bird in those pictures is some ginga minga.
So it's hardly the fanny magnet he'd hoped for.
