Big Cup Final

All day long, on every channel, idiots in red shirts parade their sponsors' logos in front of TV crews. Other supporters wander the Athens streets in increasing desperation, priced out of the stadium by greedy touts and corporate packages. Two are in hospital after fifty fans fought over a single match ticket. No such worries for Tom Hicks ,the club's new American owner who this week compared supporters to Weetabix consumers, now basking in a glory he did nothing to earn.

I wonder, does a bit of shiny metal make up for the loss of your soul?
