Hard lines to Messrs Wales,Beckham and Cameron

[Bobbisox]

For not getting us the 2018 World Cup and spreading a bit of optimism in these austere times, it went to Russia
the guy making the speech before the FIFA President, was like the policeman from 'Ello 'Ello,
"I was jest pissing by the vindow"

[AB Editor]

I found it odd that Cameron and William were involved at all. Surely they shouldn't have been part of the begging part anyway?

Spare Ed

[Bobbisox]

not sure what the protocol is there ED

[factor-fiction]

I have thought about that too, spare Ed, but I suppose that if they hadn't actively supported it they'd have been criticised too.

[Bobbisox]

2022 goes to Qatar...oh well, I will be pushing up daisys the next time England gets it,,LOL

[redman41]

The whole Bid has completely backfired, what next I wonder.
I agree with the ED, Cameron and William should not have got involved.

[Bobbisox]

3 lions?, more like the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe..

[DEN53]

Think old Becks was there, because Victoria wants a wedding invite from Wills.....

[Count-A-Strong]

Thank goodness for that.

[mazie]

According to the papers DEN, they already have an invite

[Bobbisox]

I think they've got one DEN ;-0)

[steg]

being a Scot, i Know i would probably of hate englandshire hosting it, but i think if any one should of had it it should of been the auld enemy, why? this is where it started, it would of been an excellently hosted and attended tournament and if Mexico can of hosted 2, then i think it is about time another was hosted in GB by rite

[Bobbisox]

what Count, that I'll be pushing up daisies..ha-ha-ha-

[Bobbisox]

well said that man from North of the Border

[Vicasso]

William's involvement ? He's been the president of the FA since 2005

[DEN53]

Blimey that was quick work with the wedding invite .

[mickrog]

What damage did Panarama do ? Any thoughts?

[DTCwordfan]

I am sure that will come out in the Wash before 2018, mickrog - and maybe also the crown jewels that King John's courtiers lost there will be found. Any bets on that happening as it would be more exciting for England than the World Cup.

[McMouse]

England's was an honest bid. Russia fixed it with mafia money and bought the votes. FIFA is bent too.

[Bobbisox]

I think Stacey Solomon should have gone to Zurich, you can't help but like the girl, she would have charmed old Seppy ;-)

[dotty.]

Damn, I would have loved my youngest son to have had the chance to see a world cup in this country. He's 24 now, his dad was 16 in 66 and lived in Leigh on sea and actually went to some of the matches, it's the chance of a lifetime I suppose. never mind, maybe one day,
