Michael Cassidy & Adam Fleming - Part two

Zipping out...

Michael Cassidy & Adam Fleming - Part one

And the winner is...

Mrs Clinton for this comment after Khodorkosky's case outcome:

"Today's conviction ... raises serious questions about selective prosecution – and about the rule of law being overshadowed by political considerations," said the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "This and similar cases have a negative impact on Russia's reputation for fulfilling its international human rights obligations."

I don't know if Mrs Clinton has but reading the Wikileaks cables and the recent development in Assange case show that the US are nowhere near a good place to judge other countries' reputation, political considerations and human rights oligations!

Well done, though, for winning the most self-righteous, hypocritcial comment of the year! What an achievement!

Happy bunny!

So, England lost the World Cup...again!

    I feel like reading the press in France after we lost the Olympic Games to London. That was exactly the same story of being “betrayed”, “stabbed in the back” by people who promised their votes and ended up voting for London. We had countless analysis by every journalist telling, showing us, proving us what a bunch of irrelevant, plutocrats they all were after France run a whole dossier and campaign saying we deserved the Olympic Games because we hadn’t had them for decades, that even if the Games are Greek, it’s a French man who brought them back to life. The arguments were that Paris was the most beautiful, welcoming, ready, prepared cities among all the ones in competition. That France was the most touristic country in the world so it would be anyone’s favourite place to go to for the Olympic Games: to compete or to attend.

    All based on bovine, down-looking on everyone else arrogance! And that’s exactly what England did. Yes, they are all plutocratic Popes whose only concern is to enjoy finally getting a grip of power, looking down on everyone else and make more money. But nothing much different from the ones who are running the FA, openly despising every other league in the world and whose only motivation is to find new ways to conquer new markets in Asia, for instance. Remember the Premier League match abroad from Scudamore who is now lecturing the FIFA?

    But I can’t believe the extends of insanity England reached to get votes: presents, free seats at the Olympic Games, free hotel rooms, free diners, free lunches…“Here’s the Queen's knicker drawers. Take whatever you want, it’s all yours!”…England went beneath itself, bending backwards, grovelling and battling eyelashes, sending David Beckham thinking the FIFA board would fall for him, his PR smile, dyed hair, scruffy looks like any other teenage girls and boys. And Prince William was very useful…very useful for the papers to say “How dare they lie to a prince?” Well England sent him there so he can kiss their bottom so I don’t think them supposedly lying (we don’t even know if it’s true) is the problem here.

    England’s naivety and desperation is beyond pathetic. At no point, England looked at themselves asking any question! No we’re still saying we were the best and we deserved it because all the others were crap!  It’s like looking at a 5 year-old throwing a tantrum because he was at one point promised (so HE says!) a biscuit but ended with nothing because another got it.

    Sorry, we are blaming the BBC for having good, truthful journalists who did a brilliant and necessary job of investigation but dared exposing the reality of FIFA. Realities the England Bid Team were happy to ignore.
