To be fair to them, it's a fucking nightmare sitting on a plane like that for three hours going to Spain, never mind seven hours to Qatar. Imagine how Peter Crouch feels ffs, he'll be like me, crammed into a tiny seat.
(although if he's got any sense like me he gets an aisle seat and stretches his legs out into the aisle)
I think it's best if there's mainly the best teams, but a few "wildcard" ones that really shouldn't be there, makes it more interesting imo. Kind of like "the magic of the FA Cup" where the underdogs can beat the big boys on a one-off.
Agree with midds though, immensely looking forward to Seth Efrika 2010.
By falling over all of the time and moaning at refs non stop?
You know what I mean. He actually looks like he cares, he gets stuck in. He also performs his function for the team far better than Butt does.
There's this bloke who sits right at the top of the Gallowgate upper who sits playing on a sudoku machine every fucking game, he doesn't even watch the match.
For anyone like me who is a peasant and doesn't have Sky but wants a game to watch today - Rochdale vs Luton Town is live on ITV4, an FA Cup First Round Replay, starts at 19:45 (the programme, anyway).
The first game was 3-3, I dunno, might be good.
