Fuck it, man. Pull the goalie.

Because going after one of them would be rational.

Charnley is supposed to have been with the club for years, right? Even before Ashley, as I recall. That's a problem in and of itself. It certainly didn't afford him the chance to learn how to do things the right way. I have no clue how intelligent he is, but he's totally underwater. If Ashley truly had the intent to delegate the club to someone competent, he'd be looking for somebody coming up in a decently run club. Unfortunately, all indications are that he just doesn't give a fuck. Just sticks with the toadies.

They're so passive-aggressive. The whole organization needs therapy.

Odious cunts. The whole organization is poisonous.

Best day of his life.

Did their dad rescue Ashley from a burning house?

Impressed me in his first game, against Manure, and his last. The middle had lots of ups and downs, probably more down than up. But he was the last player left that I had any affinity for. The rest are just thoroughly meh to bleurgh.

Reminds me I need to change my avatar.

I mean Loretta Lynch signed the informations on the defendants who pleaded guilty.

The national Front was everywhere in football back there. When I first started going to games back in the late 70's and early 80's there were always NF people outside SJP handing out flyers and such, I'm sure the same was true at other clubs. Among the Thugs, by Bill Buford, addresses some of the overlap between football firms and national front elements (generally speaking, not necessarily in relation to Heysel). It's a really good read.

Have a fair shot at hosting is an entirely different animal than actually being qualified to host. Fair shot = . Giving the World Cup to a country with a dubious human rights record = .

I think that's probably largely correct, and is consistent with the Swiss prosecutors running their own separate investigation (though I would imaging Justice probably shared a truck load of information with the Swiss).

I wouldn't be too cynical about it. It's a pretty major step in the right direction.

Tommy's back!

Dropping knowledge bombs like the motherfucking world police.

But that does have a history behind it when the spoilt toff picked the football up and ran off. I've now idea how the Yanks get football from it. Did a Pilgrim do something similar and why isn't Basketball Basketfootball as there is a net. They're all (association football, rugby union and league, Australian rules football, and American football) derivatives of English school games, and (i) players of different variations of the rules started branching off with formal written rules in the early 1800s or so; or (ii) the games started developing in parallel due to emigration and colonization.

Eat shit and die. Does this even get any coverage in USA? do the yanks have a clue about FIFA or give a shit? http://i.imgur.com/7mh7X6o.png

I'm assuming James Comey said that with a huge dose of irony or he was constantly suppressing a smirk. You know what the problem is? The problem is those goddam foreigners stealing our goddam corruption. There are plenty of hard working Americans who would love nothing more than to engage in corruption, but Obama keeps leaving the door open to foreign corruption. #toolittletoolate

We're going to make white-boy dreads mandatory on the back of this.

Would be the most Partridgeshrug.gif moment. We'd just start our own goddamn international football organization. With playoffs. You like cheerleaders and commercial timeouts? We got 'em!!

West Ham ditch Hippoheed on the final whistle and we'll probably be in limbo with this relentless creeping mong for weeks.
