I think what has hurt them more than most (the delegation) is that this is probably the first time in their lives that they have ever been shafted!...................so welcome to the real world guys, because this is what J Public has to put up with, day in,day out.

For some reason I think FIFA remind me of numerous local authorities, they had all the facts at hand, yet still chose another route.

Apparently the two countries that voted for England were, England & Cameroon.

So really we only got one vote, unless you call voting for yourself a vote.

I think I'll dine at Camerron restaurants from now on instead of curry houses.

:lol:

We were not corrupt enough!

If you read this story then I think that you will get the gist when I say the Russians probably bought them all one of these..............but I have to say NO ONE should be offering or giving out freebies as there is no such a thing as a free lunch............it is always for a reason, and yes it includes us.

And will the fans be living in the stadiums? Will the players be training in the stadiums?

It's all going to end in tears.

It doesn't matter how old he is, he's like a pampered pooch, so there's little chance of that anytime soon :wink:
