"The gift that keeps on giving" is probably very pertinent in this instance, in relation to the Premier League.
A friend of mine rang me tonight to tell me that a Scum fan we all try to avoid, for obvious reasons, had been bragging to him that, even if that lot only finish in 6th place this season, the prize money they will receive for this, will bring their total 'winnings' from this source to a sum just over the £1 billion mark, since the Premier League began.
He seemed completely oblivious to the retort that this has helped them buy the League over so many seasons past.
It would seem that they and their other partners in the 'Sky Four' certainly have been well looked after financially over this period of time, so much so that the terms 'pigs', 'snouts' and 'trough' seem to spring to mind.
