Football

I doubt we will ever get it! I agree with Fergie that the champions league is the premier competition with the best football.

Anyone know where Qatar is?

Sounds like somewhere you are likely to get blown up

I'm actually glad we didn't win it as I'm fed up of our 'arts' funding in this country being enveloped for high profile bum kissing events like the Olympics. Not sure about Russia though... are they planning on changing their visa system? Not the most welcoming country in the world for foreign visitors. Quatar is such a 'Blatter' style host. Ikea stadia which will be shipped to poorer nations sounds good in principle but the host grounds will all be within a 16 mile radius. Might as well set up a principality called Fifaville and have the cup there every four years!

Racist.

Racist.

Racist.

That's exactly what I was about to say! Lest we forget what happened in London the day after we won the Olympic bid.

They will love it, keep all the profits within a 16mile radius, probably 0% tax on anything as they will be using oil to pay for it.

It'll be 40 degrees, surely that's a guarantee for a good game of football.
No alcohol either.
Look on the bright side, you'll be able to watch Qatar in the world cup.

Tax not an issue Jimm, Fifa aren't exactly forthcoming about coughing it up at the best of times. Didn't even pay it in South Africa on earnings over there!

How on earth can you host a World Cup in a country that's smaller than Birmingham?

What a joke

shit hole places like south africa, russia, qatar produce shit world cups.

I'm disgusted, its not even about football anymore, just corrupt politics and bribes.

So you think some muppets from Leeds will try and bomb Moscow and Qatar tomorrow?

I hate Leeds.

On ITV4 now - From Russia with Love

Started at 3.10.

Only ITV could be so ironic.

can't even open the f*cking website, and they want to run a WC?

They don't have space for many servers.

Apparently they're going to have air conditioned stadiums in Qatar.
That's that problem solved.
Will they also have air conditioned training pitches, camping facilities and bars etc?

I thought they were from Luton?

Huh? No. My point was that they won't was it not?

I thought they were from Luton?

Sure they were from Dirty Leeds but there's not much difference is there?

There's a fuck load of difference between Leeds and Luton, Clive.

John Hegley is from Luton isn't he?

Leeds>Luton.

I trust that that nasty little arsenal player gets his just deserts for his treachery

He backed his own country, so hardly tantamount to treason is it?

We roped in every foreigner we could to back our bid. Look at how that turned out.

The earliest we can now get the world cup is 2030, which will make me an old fucker.
