jesus some of the stuff on here and on Facebook is pathetic - I even saw some comments on FB that people would stop going to games if he signed.

Can someone please explain to me exactly why everyone hates him?  It seems like he is a bit of dick (like many, many other professional footballers) and he once gave a linesman a flick on a cock while playing in a game that had nothing to do with us. If he is making our squad better, and increasing the chances of us finishing the season higher up the table we should be welcoming him with open arms.

Pro sport is unscripted theatre and Griffiths is the archetypal villain. Saying you'll stop going to games because of him is a bit melodramatic though. We just need to stop looking at him as a bad guy and start looking at him as our bad guy. This is the necessary evil of wanting success - a Faustian pact with Beelzebub in exchange for future glory.... some of our fans are too afraid of the darkness to accept this development.

Anyway, here's a leaked picture from Sackwacker's contract signing:
