  • To be fair, it's time to be selfish.   Forget the developing nations, they are nowt to do with us and we gain nowt by helping them.   Leave the footballing politics aside - we're not cut out for

    It's got nothing to do with Panorama. Russia and Qatar had it sown up long ago. Today's circus was all about massaging Blatter's ego. If the FA want to do something useful, they should push to get rid

    Surely no one is surprised? An absolute stich up months ago.   Normally wouldnt given our press the time of day, but right behind them on this one. If the "no" votes for us were because of FIFA

Qatar... Jesus wept ](*,)

 

Well it at least it will be warm :whistle:

What happens if Israel qualify for 2022? =@

"1549: England bid ambassador and BBC presenter Gary Lineker has confirmed that England were knocked out in the first round of voting. They came fourth out of four. I'm stunned."

Putin obviously knew... Qatar instead of Aus... Legacy... God knows

Well it at least it will be warm :whistle:

 

115 degrees is the average daytime temperature over there in June. Apparently they're planning to air condition the stadium pitches as it's the only way they'll be able to stage matches during the day.

Went to Russia a couple of years ago with England, it is one very dodgy place, gangs of Russians coming up to us in Red Square asking for a fight, the fuckers even stormed our hotel after the game, and they beat us, can't see me going back there.

You could have a another Munich on your hands

Well the world has now got even madder. Qatar for 2022.

I reckon the Isle of Man should put a bid in

 

No population way to high and feck all oil.

All about Legacy.

 

That will be 3 World Cups in a row, where its gone to Countries that have never had it. Blater loves HIS legacy.

Isn't Qatar alcohol free place?

Also, does it not prove how much we, the media and everyone connected to this Country, think we are more important than we are ??

 

Every English media and every English booky had us Nailed on.

 

The Russian and Holand spokesmen, have said in the last few days that they did not see England as their major Competitor.

 

Do we over-inflate our importance ??

I wonder if 50,000 hand-held fans will make as much racket as the vuvuzelas.

In so far as it cannot be consumed in public and outside of hotel residences or private expat clubs. (Same as UAE)

The PM should get rid of the BBC; that would save the country billions in everyones pocket. Why do we need an organisation that screws its own people

 

It will be interesting to see what the FA does when it comes to the next round of bidding for Prem TV/radio rights.

Only heard it on radio, bbc news channel crashed too much traffic?) but what I'd like to know is why the cheer before Russia was announced by the crook?

to be fair we were 4/1 during the week the odds from the bookies will repesent the money that people are putting on, if people are going to bet at evens why should the bookies offer more ?

 

over -inflate, maybe but we also had according to FIFA the bext technical bid (whatever that means) and the most commercially profitable bid.

I must be alone in not being overly bothered either way

Give it to the highest bidder of course

 

Same as FIFA :roll:

I am yet to have anyone explain to me why the Panorama investigation had a negative impact on the England bid specifically. Did it show F.A officials being bribed, or offering bribes?

 

You're all fucking mad.
