Title: No One Discussing........
Post by: Lizzie_Zoom on 02 December 2010, 10:06:03
................on a very male orientated forum the question of

[size=24]ENGLAND AND STAGING THE WORLD CUP [/size]

I am amazed!! :o :o :o :o :o

Is it because you are:

Bored of the prospect?

Don't care?

Think the Russions will win?

Fed up with football?

Are prepared to just see what happens?

Think it has nothing to do with English football?

Have better things to worry about?

I am Scottish or Welsh!!


 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

Ticked the fed up with football option.

But will also add, with all the extra TV channels we have I wish they would sod off and leave normal TV viewing alone.

Thanks Aaron, that was a serious thread on the subject yesterday ;)

Today I thought there would be many of you voicing opinions, but myself I cannot be bothered with a serious thread anything about football, so I thought we would have some fun with the subject :D :D :D :D :D ;) ;)

Hmm. Makes me think. Is there another subject as dull as football?

We've done Oil to death - but it's still more entertaining.
"What car would you buy now they don't make Omegas" - Not in the same league IMHO.
Old jokes - a few make me chuckle still.

just heard the England WC bid presentation - it was genuinely excellent  :y

i dont think it'll make a blind bit of difference as the russian mafia have it in the bag (along with the head of the last guy to disappoint them) ;D ;D

I don't, we have none. Not seen one snowflake this winter.
If we do get snow, I make do with the rubber I've got on my wheels.
I just find that every thread about tyres boring. It's been done to death and boils done to personal preference in the end. Ones opinion on how good a set of tyres are, is based on their own driving experience and no two people drive the same.  :y

England have gone from 2/1 2nd favourites to 8/11 on favourites, overtaking Russia - hmmm....maybe England will actually pull it off  :-?

personally i'd love the WC "next door" in England, as long as Scotland don't qualify and humiliate themselves as usual  ;D

Sorry BJ, I hope you do not think I belittled your great (serious) thread on this subject :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[  Just wanted a bit of fun taking the subject from a different fun angle!! :D :D :D ;)

Rather than take any interest in this (as with all sport) I would rather pick at a scab.

As I'm presently sans scabs at the moment (my new hole has healed very nicely thank you) I'm rather at a loss. :(

i love football i played semi pro  and to be honest i would love it if we hosted the cup but it would probably end up being flawed like 2012   i cant believe so many on here dont like footie    :(

As with all forms of sport, it's a personal choice wether you love a particular sport or loathe it. I must admit that I'm a footie fan but I understand people having no interest in it. Now golf, snooker, darts, rugby and cricket I find as interesting as watching paint dry. ::)

dont want it here,its not about football anymore. all the govt are interested in is the revenue. too many come over here and dont go home so will cost us more in the end.

Love my football but couldnt give a two hoots if we staged it or not. As we know the England side will continue to show no pride in the shirt  so whats the point in watching em.

Plus after last nights trouble has been shown around the world it will be the final nail in the coffin for us to stage it

We will have to endure days of recriminations and post-mortems in Sky's gutter to gutter news coverage of it however.

agreed, the whole thing stinks - apparently England got just 1 vote other than their own for what was a bid head and shoulders above everyone bar maybe Spain and Portugal. You know, the Russian World Cup will be a disaster, as for Qatar in 2022.... ;D ;D ;D
