That’s how much the starting twenty two players cost in our match with Manchester City this week. Half a bloody billion. Five hundred and thirty million of your English Pounds to be precise.
Admittedly their XI cost £506,000,000 of that, while ours contributed less than £25 million.
It’s no wonder that their fans got so uppity when players they’d never heard of (Sheffield Who?nited) had the temerity to robustly tackle their priceless artefacts.
I mean I’d get pretty pissed off if the kids put my sixteenth century Ming vase in the dishwasher, or some complete strangers used half a dozen of my Fabergé Eggs to make themselves an omelette.
So please cut the outraged Citehzens of Manchester, Shanghai, Jakarta, Lagos, Harare and Hanoi some slack. They’re just trying to look after their valuables.
