Anyway, this was England's failed bid for WC2018 and the proposed venues and stadia expansion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_2018_FIFA_World_Cup_bid#Venues SJP with 60k+ capacity.

That's an option but I think the PL and the English clubs would love to take the opportunity to boost up those stadium capacities and/or build spanking new ones. English stadia tend to be on the neglected side compared to those countries who have hosted the big tournaments. Most of the older ones need more than just a fresh coat of paint.

If England were to host a WC, which are the 10-12 stadia likely to be part of the bid? Wembley Emirates Olympics/West Ham stadium CoMS / Old Trafford (do they allow 2 venues in the same city?) SJP Anfield Villa Park Would be pretty much London-centric going by current stadium capacities.

They no longer rotate by confederations though. There's too much money to be made from a U.S.-held tournament for FIFA to avoid it for too long. It makes sense for them to hold it in one of the biggest growing footballing markets. Doubt Blatter will last that long to continue with his new footballing legacies plan too.

That's the way you mainly see it?

Just when you thought this thread couldn't get worse, Trollemache turns the past few pages upside down.

We might have a little laugh at Sturridge tying Fabianski's boots and his evident disappointment at the end of the match but it showed how much he wanted to win this cup tie.

Sturridge.

That post at the top of this page is pure bollocks.

If you believe Mourinho, FFP is having some impact.

Wrong thread, marra.

I hate him but it wasn't a dive like. Was talking about the foul leading to the FK.

Fucking acrobatics from Suarez.

Oh look, another dive.

QPR 11 pts off Leicester as it stands. Average attendance of 16,759 with the wages they are paying their huge squad.

The Polish have done well today.

Argentine league isn't it?

You are pardoned.

Ox in the box.

This is the Thai guy born in Newcastle, not Thaksin btw.
