Close! But no cigar 
Bottle of Rioja and 40 Davi's.
Took a cuppa upstairs to Mr Fluffy Thing and it 1-0 Spain, came down, dished up his fish and chips, took them upstairs - it was 2-0 to Spain! Why couldn't they have waited 'til I was back infront of my TV?

Damn! I thought I was quite enigmatic 
I'd love Pirlo to score now
Spain's midfield is light years ahead of everybody elses... Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets, Alonso and Silva. Then they got Mata who can't even get a game.
Well I must say what a great tournament! We should do it every two years.
Hard to post whilst eating grissinni and 9p a tub from the Morrison's chuckout humerus.
What are we going to do now. Another six weeks to go.
The squad for Team GB has been announced:
Jack Butland (Birmingham), Jason Steele (Middlesbrough); Ryan Bertrand (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Tottenham), Craig Dawson (West Brom), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Neil Taylor (Swansea), James Tomkins (West Ham); Joe Allen (Swansea), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Jack Cork (Southampton), Ryan Giggs (Manchester United), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Danny Rose (Tottenham), Scott Sinclair (Swansea); Craig Bellamy (Liverpool), Marvin Sordell (Bolton), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea).
Man Utd have registered themselves in the Cayman Islands... Well I laughed
All the teams at the top are in the same boat. I'm rather hoping that the tax affairs of their players comprise the next investigation.
That's before we look at rule 34.

They should base their stadium in the Cayman Islands, play their games in the Cayman Islands and start a Cayman Islands football league where they can play local school and pub sides for a dozen games a season in front of 200 or so oligarchs and their goons. W£N£€%$
corp parasites helping to bleed this nation dry.

Not necessarily, we happen to be registered here in the UK and pump a hue amount of money into east Manchester, yet for some reason City are the club that gets all the flack... Not a week goes by without the usual "clubs should be run just like the great Manchester united"
It's all Spurs and Arsenal on twitter. Morgan has been sounding off about RVP. The point is that the big teams are living in absolute luxury, sucking up all of the money, and their fans have no room to complain.
My local team on the left have been demoted four divisions and I doubt that my local team on the right will have 10k regulars.
One hopes that one of the top two, four, six, or whatever it is now crash and burn at some point. 
Morgan is always sounding off on twitter... First he was kissing RVPs arse, then he said he's dead to him when he made the statement, now he's saying it's not RVPs fault but all Wengers. From what I gather most Arsenal fans hate him. He's your typical fair weather fan.

Given Man U's Cayman Isles tax dodging, it would be just deserts if it were them.

You are such a hypocrite Carnie 
Or is it alright to have a couple of parties who always win in government?

How so? I don't see what the first past the post electoral system - which I didn't even vote for in the last referendum - has to do with my view that Man U should leave English football. They don't want to contribute to the very country that has made them the club they are, they should should bugger off to the Cayman Islands or set up in LA or New York. I'm sure Posh & Becks would be all for that!
So Man U will be able to get better players because they're not paying their taxes, which you may think is wonderful because it's your club, but you'd be a hypocrite to then criticise tax avoiders like Jimmy Carr.

ah the standard reply when you can't defend the indefensible. That's fine, but why not just put your hands up and say "Yes, I'm against tax avoidance but my club comes first, so as far as I'm concerned, they're a special case to me. If it were another club, I'd condemn it, but as it's my club, I won't. I can't defend their actions, so I won't try."?

Standard reply to a standard ABU post; what did you expect?
Indeed! We also need to examine the mucho reduced tax rates being enjoyed by players from lands far far away.

The rich need a good looking at full stop!
Well that doesn't include United. Last time I checked they were over 0.5 gigapoond in debt.
