Paul the Octopus (RIP) - got it WRONG

Maybe he thought it was a Red Herring all along ?

 

[16bha]

That's why he had to top himself, after realising what a stupid prediction he made!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

He's calamari already - you can hardly punish him.

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

He's gonna sleep with the fishes. Oh sorry, already does.

 

[HP Seagull]

He obviously didn't put corruption into the bargain.

 

[Gus Poyet's inner FLAIR]

I put ten squid on our bid winning, just on the back of his 'prediction'.

 

[Captain Haddock]

Paul was too honest. Didn't factor in the Oil Boys Network!

Maybe the Russkis barbecued him - maffioski style

 

[Gus Poyet's inner FLAIR]

He would have been right if those pesky Ruskies hadn't bribed FIFA to the tuna several million dollars.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He wasn't wrong. He obviously foresaw our name coming out and a whole roomful of people bar 3 cheering and shouting. Unfortunately, that image was our 1st Round elimination...

OR, maybe he's right, i.e. Russia f*** up 3 months before the start date and we step in at the last minute, a bit like the London Olympics in 1948.
