Deserved. Arsenal have been very good

Strange to see Alan Hutton do a horrific tackle

Hate the whole issue of handball in football

Szcesney is cup keeper

Arsenal playing some wonderful stuff

Michel Platini would be so much better than Blatter as president of the governing body

I honestly don't see Sissoko as lazy. He always tries to make things happen but usually they don't come off

That's a bit much

Yes he's bribed 133 countries. Europe is the main power in football, at least in terms of money and the only candidate from Europe is the most hated guy in European football. UEFA can't complain when they didn't put any kind of pressure on Blatter until a few days ago

And why in the name of fuck has Asia got nearly 50 votes (just a few less then Europe)? Because thats the amount of countries there

Class

Good article on why Africa votes for Blatter http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-32928984. He may be a cunt but he's a very good politician

Nearly just started crying watching a montage video of Jonas on YouTube

Seemed a decent guy. Its very difficult to come back from as many injuries as he did so fair play to him for that. Not good enough, though obviously

Goodbye Jonas. A great, great man

A better voting system would sort out a lot of the corruption issues tbh. As well as full transparency, which they should have as they are a non-profit. It's actually quite easy. Not saying all corruption would be gone. But compared to the current FIFA with shit voting system and no transparency whatsoever... I mean, yeah... What would be your proposed voting system? As discussed earlier, weighted voting tied to either FIFA ranking or the amount of clubs precided over by an FA. Sorry should have looked back at your earlier posts. This would just result in whoever the big countries want in charge getting in charge which I don't agree with. Football is the most popular sport in almost every country in the world and IMO all countries should be treated equally

They probably pay him fuck all and he is someone at the very least to play in the FA cup when we get beat by Brighton in the 3rd round

Lets never have a surprise result in football ever again

Just playing devil's advocate here but what happens if FIFA collapses and a new governing body is formed? What are they going to do to stop corruption? Prevent poorer countries from having a say in decisions? Its not as easy as to just start a new organisation and corruption will stop

According to Karen Espelund that's a possibility. USA, UEFA and Invitees. The "Big" South American countries apparently voted against Blatter as well. If they got UEFA, Brazil and Argentina the rest would eventually follow

Will they boycott the one that takes place in their federation or the one that their president voted for I wonder

Yes Absolute disgrace. Why? The fact that England or Spain could be outvoted by Timor Leste and Montserrat (for example) is a total joke. They have nothing to do with the game. You can't have a global governing body that only focuses on the elite players. One of the reasons Blatter is so popular is because he treats the smaller and poor nations well. Its like saying the richest guy in America's vote in an election should count for more than an ordinary working class person Yes you can, and no it's not. Football is a non-essential part of society. Would you be happy if a all football decisions in this country were dictated by Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal i.e. Distribution of TV money? Good analogy

He isn't bribing every smaller nation in the world. He is treating them well and they in turn want him to continue. Blatter was a massive advocate of the South African world cup and the use of vuvuzelas when others wanted FIFA to ban them, basically getting all of Africa behind him

Hard to disagree with that tbh. Like fuck is it hard to disagree with - the cunt is a useless full of total shit prick who made me suffer some of the worst years of shit boring football in my whole life of supporting this club. If you find that hard to disagree with then I have one word for you CLUELESS!!! Hans is going through a very confusing time lately
