Furthermore apparently BBC are betraying the nation for pointing out corruption in organisation FIFA. We knew that !

Jesus Christ...


I see the programme Panorama are doing a good job of killing any chance England had of hosting the world cup

I'm watching El Clasico... It's just like watching Bolton.

Evening all *waves*

Ramsays making his comeback at the mo for Forest against Leicester - hope he comes through it ok.


El Classico sounds more like El Handbags from what I'm reading Disley



England Ladies have drawn  Japan, Mexico and New Zealand in the group stages of next years World Cup. At least we avoided Germany, Brazil and the States. Should have a good chance to get out of that group

(El Classico, my arse btw.)

All power to the Beeb for their investigations. The sooner Europe has the confidence to break away from FIFA the better. IMO. After what I saw in 2006, especially when they tried to force everyone to drink the beer of their choice, we should have a Euro competition every two years.

Yeah, I agree with you Joe, all of this shooting the messenger that's going on. Maybe the Beeb could have found a better time to air the FIFA stuff but it's not the Beebs fault that FIFA is a corrupt and shameful excuse for a governing body.


Meant to be going to the Emirates tonight but have to keep checking that the game is still on. They've already called off our babies cup game against Darlington tomorrow night

Good god

Good result tonight, went out and attacked... didnt park the bus. Stand out players were probably Balotelli, A.Johnson, SWP, Milner and Vieira.

Jo can piss off though Alot of diving and abit from Balotelli. It just made me cringe when Jo went down holding his face.



Also, I heard Villa and Birmingham fans are kicking off at FT... throwing flares and chairs at each other. You gotta laugh really, typical England. David Cameron, David Beckham and Prince William are in Zurich trying to win us the right to host the World Cup 2018.

Meanwhile back in England... the BBC are making programmes about corruption in Fifa and English football fans are kicking off with each other

Very inciteful poster Meaty  

I like your stuff  

FIFA corrupt. Who'd have thought it? Next we'll be expected to believe UEFA tell their referees which English clubs they want out of the CL and when.

England are currently doing their presentation to win the right to host the world cup... currently "Call Me Dave" is up there. He's not doing a bad job either.

Im not sure we started it the right way saying most kids in manchester end up in prison

According to the Grauniad it's the other Dave who is the important one.
According to the Sunder Times, who also did a load about FIFA corruption btw, there is some strange agreement between a lot of the voters, Quatar, and Portugal/Spain, and they would win the first round. I suppose it's down to where second and mebbees third preferences go. I couldn't bear the idea of another remote country like Spain getting it. We've had Japan, USA, South Africa and next Brazil.
If Dave pulls this one off it has to be, "Arise Sir David  Beckham!"

I thought Beckham was shite presenting Just stood there reading off a bloody sheet

Oh dear... she just forgot her lines.

According to the article Beckham is at his best meeting and greeting and being charismatic.

They would say that, all the papers are up Beckhams arse. Eddie Afekafe stole the show.

I can't believe Arshavin said he's "just a simple footballer".

His fellow meerkats will be proud...

I think that the Grauniad is, the rest of the scratter press continously sniff around  his arse for any form of controversy so that their brain-dead readers may receive further exciting thrills of a Bread and Circus nature. IMO.

I get the feeling its just gonna go to Spain/Portugal







Update - Apparently we went out first round.... you couldnt make it up

It's Russia for the 2018 World Cup
and Qatar for the 2022 - that's the official results

Roll on 2018

Quatar is a bit of a joke for a stand alone WC country. England unlucky I suppose but I wonder if the Olympics in 2012 had any bearing.

Qatar...

Quatar had 1.3 million people...thats smaller than Northern Ireland!

England were 4th in the voting. Even Holland/Belgium got more votes...

It's going to be a scorcher in Qatar. At that time of year, expect average high of 41-46 C and an average low of 27 - 29C.

Apparently England last in the voting.

Also, did anyone else hear Blatter say China invented football?

Holland and Belgium would not have been a problem!! But yes! That's another three world cups in novelty, inappropriate places. Europe must take action now.

Also... I could be wrong here. But isnt homosexuality is banned in Qatar? If so... hows that going to effect people?

I don't think England stood a chance irrespective of the Panorama programme or The Telegraph investigation of FIFA 


Worra waste of £15 million 

England only got two votes out of 22 apparently. They expected a minimum of six...

I had to listen to it twice to believe it    they got the least amount of votes - less than the Netherlands and Belgium 

And I bet one of them was Englands

LGBT all illegal in Qatar although as luck would have it there is a centre to cure such people.

The Sunder Times predicted two votes Though TBF they had the Iberian peninsula as likely winners.

A politician in NI was saying that as recently as last year that she has a friend who 'can' cure people like that.

The Fist Ministers would would you believe

It's incredible in this day and age.

There's a Minister for Fist's in NI     do they use them to thump people??? 

Just thinking...

This is how the voting went:

Round 1: England 2 votes, Netherlands/Belgium 4 votes, Spain/Portugal 7 votes and Russia 9 votes.

Round 2: Netherlands/Belgium 2 votes, Spain/Portugal 7 votes and Russia 13 votes (Russia obtain absolute majority)

So let me get this straight... 2 people who voted for Netherlands/Belgium in round 1 suddenly changed their mind and voted for Russia in round 2, even though the Netherlands/Belgium bid was still left in?

2 votes in round 1 for Holland and Belgium were tactical in getting England eliminated and then those 2 votes were used to enhance Russia's chances of winning overall in round 2.

Its a disgrace... even eurovision has more credibility
