We trust this lot with running World football...all fool us...I would feel happier if Walt Disney ran the show, FIFA is little better than a Mickey Mouse outfit!
I think Edna is right, the Aussies would put on a brilliant World Cup...the Olympics in Sydney is widely regarded as one of the best...why not let them have a go with football?
Do you know something, the more I hear about some of the people deciding who should have the World Cup the less I want it to come here...who would want a tournament where there was always doubt about whether bungs were paid to win the vote.
Clean up FIFA first...even if it means being as...
There will be a couple of acres of free land at Withdean from late spring next year...well, we won't need it anymore and have proven that up to 8000 people visiting the area have had a minimal impact on the environment...should be ideal for just a couple of hundred people at a time!
If Qatar were to host the World Cup it would mean having it during our winter...the temperatures there in the summer months, June to August, are usually around 40-45C or more during the day and 25-30C if you are lucky through the night...I wouldn't fancy playing football in those conditions.
Something along those lines occurred to me while watching the programme...maybe if we withdrew from FIFA (and entering the World Cup) until the whole thing is cleaned up, although some might say that would be a pointless gesture as we aren't really in with much of a chance of winning it, but it...
For the Albion it has to be Paul Kitson, the man who was injured so often that he was followed round the pitch by two members of the St John Ambulance with a stretcher.
Not everyone.
Living up here in the Midlands, at least the southern edge, the tv is full of stories of potteries in Stoke going into overtime to produce commemorative china-ware....now surely that is a good thing during the depths of a recession. You may not like or agree with the Royal...
Exactly...he has to take both games seriously, a game against Pompey is more than that for us...if he doesn't, then he loses a fair amount of credibility!
I think for the clubs, and maybe the players, the further up the leagues you get the less the cup means. I doubt if many players in the Premiership really care about the FA Cup or even the World Cup to a degree, for them it is really about the Premiership and Champions League...in fact, I think...
It is...but when they suffer from morbid obesity, clogged arteries or heart failure...from all that shit they stuff into their faces...it is my taxes that pay for them whilst they are bed blocking in the NHS.
Not quite, The Hawthorns is the highest, followed by The New Lawn, then Vale Park and Boundary Park.

It was very cold up there today, though at least it wasn't windy, the pitch was already pretty hard under foot when we...
The thing that strikes me is when faced with someone from the "hang-em high" brigade, if you ask them whether they would be prepared to flick the switch or pull the lever that condemned someone to death their answer is invariably a resounding no, they expect someone else to do it on their...
I always thought that, but Wikepedia (often total bollocks) says that West Brom is the highest professional ground...three metres above the ground I will be at this afternoon, namely The New Lawn.
Coldest game for me wasn't in the UK, it was in Belgium.
I went to a cup game that was an evening kick-off, the game went into extra-time and then penalties, finally finishing at about 10:45pm...all I can remember was that the pitch resembled an ice-rink, think the players were wearing...
I would agree almost word for word with what Tyrone first posted, I have never believed that any country that kills its own citizens as punishment has any right to consider itself civilised.

There is a big lump of cloud in the Channel, to the south of the Isle of Wight, it is turning anti-clockwise and may reach Brighton within a couple of hours or so!
I went for 3-0...but share the opinion that if we score early, and manage to go into the break something like three ahead, then it could be another Northwich Victoria score.
