I don't understand why people want others to hear what they are listening to. I often also think that those who play music through speakers are trying to create conflict - much like adults cycling on footpaths - they want someone to say something so they can be `offended' and start.

He was never worth £80m. Everyone knows that. But being English means higher fees are paid. High fees does not always equal world class. Yes, he is decent, but never £80m.

Some Ireland fans still upset about Rice. As they were with Grealish - but neither of them are that great.
