There's no "I" in "team"...

Football is one of the most selfless sports out there. Sure you've got a role to fill and are expected to be able to fill it exceptionally well. Sure you've got an ego as you want to be out there, you want people to know how good you are.

But as we've seen this week between our two fixtures - most notably in the game against the Mancs last weekend - 11 men, none of them what you'd consider world beaters (bar Carra at his peak), all working together as a cohesive unit, are virtually unstoppable. Everyone did his part, we dispelled the myth of the "two-man team" and frankly, should've run up a bigger scoreline.

So why is it that - in a week that should've been dominated by stories praising this win for embodying the very qualities that most of us love about this game - did we instead get press headlines focusing on a loathsome millionaire crying about having to sell his club (at an asking price of twice what he paid 2 years ago mind) as the fans don't like him?

Or which of the two "top-class" defenders sent off for pretty obvious transgressions while representing his respective classless club, committed the more egregious foul?

And lastly, on the home front here in NYC, why did someone (I'll just call Mr. X) threaten to call the police because someone told him he was talking complete nonsense on an LFC forum??

Give me a break.

I just don't get it. How ridiculously ironic that a sport that draws devoted followers for its selfless commitment attracts some of the most selfish, self-absorbed f*****rs on the planet?
