WHOOPEE !
Despite the combined efforts of 'Call me Dave', 'King to be' Wills, and the sainted Becks, we failed to win the right to stage the Football World Cup in 2018. Not only did we fail to win, we actually came last in the voting.
Dave says this was a 'desperate' disappointment. To him, perhaps, but not to me. Why on earth would we have wanted to stage this event, backed as it is by the utterly corrupt FIFA ? The obsequious crawling by our senior representatives has done nothing to enhance their reputations, either.
Our press, as usual, over-egged the pudding and raised expectations. Now, they bleat and whine, and express their outrage at what was, obviously, an unfair process. What a laugh, and what a relief that we'll be spared any chance of having this event for at least another 16 years.
