You working a paper round or something? If you're struggling that much try and live within your means. Plenty of ways to budget better and save a bit of money.

 

Point still stands that mentally and physically footballers have it so much harder than your average person. But you're right i guess, they're rich so mental health in footballers should be fine 

Never said that. Like you say footballers get it so hard. So hard in fact who would ever want to be a footballer. That 250k must be so mentally hard to spend. Those big houses, constant holidays,  trophy wife's.

Anyway who even knows if Hazard has mental problems.

By the way I wasn't talking about me but plenty of people who do struggle. People struggle for various reasons which you don't seem to understand. Like I say poor Hazard.

Some people are so defensive of a footballer they will even say the average person has a easier life than Eden Hazard.

It's so ridicolous it's brilliant. Stop being so bias and defensive and realise what your saying.

Poor poor Eden.

If that's what you think Eden is doing in his spare time then I am afraid you haven't done your homework, sir.

He is a humble man, he has a family, he is not an attention seeker and most importantly he owes you nothing. So please stop acting like he has to be at your service under any circumstances.

Haven't said that Mr Defensive. I never brought up about drinking and women. So you know Hazards personal life and he never goes on holiday? Lol

I was using trophy wife as an example in football because someone brought up about bringing birds backs. Other people should use wiki which says Hazard and his brothers had everything they wanted to make it in football from his parents and had a good life.

Who are you guys arguing about here? Duff being better than Hazard?

Not arguing about anyone been better than anyone just that I don't agree that Joe Cole wasn't on Hazard's level. He was phenomenal for us and dribbled round players, scoring world class goals, winning matches when we weren't at our best etc. What halted Cole was injuries in the end but 05-07 he was one of the best players in the league.

I could see the burnout point.

Obviously they have all the money in the world, but you got to remember that money doesn't really solve your mental issues. Like people say, money doesn't buy happiness.

They're still as prone to problems as we are, no matter what our lifestyles are. They are human beings after all. I don't think Hazard is suffering from burnout though, just a knock maybe.

The world need to pay more attention to mental illness, it is crazy how England have just opened their first mental illness centre and it's bloody 2017.

Stan Collymore is a known sufferer from depression and it has messed him up big time. If you just google his name you will find some of his arcticles on depression, it's interesting actually.

Out of interest what do you mean by mental illness centre?

I thought the tabloids talk sh*t, that's not pointed at you by the way. Just makes me laugh when it suits some people lol.

Difference here is we saw this last season which points to some sort of injury or niggle where he doesn't want to extend himself

Zero private life? What did he eat for lunch yesterday? Where does he get a haircut? Get the f*ck out man. Of course when they go into the public sphere they get attention, especially someone as good as Hazard, but they have as much private life as they like. If you don't think footballers go out on a night off and try to shag women I'd suggest you get out from under that rock. Sure they may not get 'tits drunk' every Friday night but then again, anyone who does that probably shouldn't be setting a lifestyle example for anyone. 

For as many that enjoy being out of the public eye, some enjoy being in it and receiving the attention. 

TBH, he said for a "household" name like Hazard. Being a footballer is a privileged position and once I and many others would love to have but once you get as good as he, he has to live a much more secluded lifestyle because of the fame. For instance, I see a lot of the Chelsea young ones and other young PL kids in nightclubs a lot. Especially around the Kingston and Watford area however when they get older, they have to reduce their party time and make more sacrifices. Hazard for instance would not go to Westfield shopping centre because he would get mobbed without actually being able to shop.

Love your point about shagging women, lol. But yeah, I agree footballers have the best job in the world. That being said like you said, they do have as much private life as they want but again that is a sacrifice they make because of the fame they get.

I remember the issues with Collymore. A talent which left the game to early. Anyone in the world can suffer from a mental illness and in the UK there clearly isn't enough being done.

The problem I had was someone decided to make the ridiculous statement that Hazard has a harder life than the average Joe.  Which is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have read on this forum and thats including the Mourinho thread.

Players and people in general suffering from mental illnesses is a different issue. At least players probably have people they can turn too at the club and there position gives them the best treatment in the world without waiting lists.

If he's playing with pain, let him miss a few games and get it fixed up, there's no point playing 70% at this level.

For those who says top end footballers have a tough life, get real, just look at Millions of starving people around the world, or the homeless you walk past at the train station every morning.

 

This was the issue last season, if a defender is playing with pain he can still get the job done it's not as fine tuned a job, a player with the flair of hazard the slightest hesitation because of a strain will make them look totally off, last game he looked like he had lead boots on, that's not an off day that's a physical issue, people forget how much the guy gets kicked about during a game but he is never injured for any period of time, he seems to be very rugged and able to play through pain but he gets slated the second he isn't messi's big brother

I have twice had freinds come to me because they were thinking of ending there life, so if it happens again i say it could be worse you're not homeless in North Korea do i? If a man loses his sister does he has no right to greive if another man happens to lose his wife, child and parents in a car crash say at that same time? They (footballers) may not have it tough to the extent of a hungry child in Gabon or an adult on the run from a gang in Honduras but it doesn't mean that they are immune from some of lifes tough challenges and they shouldnt have to "get a grip" or have people dismissing their woes because they earn decent money and there's others worse off.

Love this mentality, someone has a difference in opinion so their comment must be one of the most ridiculous things you've ever heard. 

 

I see you're going back to the point that money somehow cures mental illness. Oh how uneducated you are.

How did we get from Hazard to Bedlam and North Korean orphans?

For what it's worth, I think Eden will play a blinder against the Goonies this weekend. 

 

Up the Chels!

See you can't seem to read. I said the position a footballer is in gives them the best treatment in the world and without waiting lists etc. Tbh I think that's a fact, whether they would get cured or not is a totally different thing.

With any illness money will give you a better oppurnity.

Yep, that's what you said. You know what they say, money doesn't make you happy or healthy, but it sure helps 

So, back to football and those damned Belgians again?

To be fair, he does only say that money helps here and not that rich people cannot have mental issues.

Almost every poster calls other posts 'ridiculous'. Just saying :) 

I disagree with most of Ernie blue's posts and opinions but objectively (good practice to separate the post and the poster), I find nothing to disagree with in that post. 

Valerie sums it up nicely.
