Off Topic Rio Ferdinand

Could resonate with lots of us.....?

 

Very sad for his family but I can't stand the ****.

 

He can only have done that programme for the right reasons. Exposed himself and I admire anyone who does that. Still would struggle with how men in a similar position could totally relate to the life of luxury. But that's not his fault.

 

There's quite a contrast with Michael Owen.

 

I guess pain and loss are the same who ever you are.
Good for him for doing the programme

 

I meant to watch that last night. Was it worthwhile?

 

Yes.

 

I'm sure it is. The practicalities are different though, he can clearly pick and choose jobs he takes on (though didn't come across as a shirker) and can afford to employ a nanny. I guess many in a similar position (ie losing your wife early) would have the struggles of keeping a job/ looking after 3 young kids/ little time for yourself etc. I'm sure those challenges would add to the stress and probably the pain.
