[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I can't be arsed to research but my memory was that it was the other way round. The scum wanted to go to SA and the craven FA just bent over when asked

Much as I despise them, I'm pretty sure that the FA and the Government were at the forefront of this. As someone else has said earlier, it was all wrapped up in trying to 'get' the World Cup for 2006. They didn't take part in any publicity for it and got knocked out without a whimper. In fact, their last game was in front of about 5 men and a dog. Evidently all the 659 million were busy that day!
Predictably, the delusional Charlton said the tournament had benefitted from the mere fact that they were there as it meant everyone would be talking about it.
What it did do though was give them a winter break. They had 25 days in the sunshine whilst expending next to no effort in the games. Beckham even got sent off in game 1 so didn't play again. Wenger was furious as it was a very close 3 way battle for the title before they went (with Arsenal and Leeds). Rags got a month in the sun, came back, and won it by 18 points, the biggest ever margin, which does suggest a winter break might not be a bad thing.

Shocker......!!!!

Is there no end to this seemingly incessant media biased drivel???

Wonder when they all throw their toys out of the pram and stop funding the club if there'll be a 'special' update programme or whether it will just be quietly swept under the carpet?

Left to right. Assistant to failing manager, unproved youth coach, assistant manager who doesn't assist much, pundit/failing manager, unhappy pundit.

Not a huge success story are they?

"Memphis: Giggs my inspiration"

Is he shagging his sister-in-law too then??? I had no idea!

Wonder just what 'inspirational advice' he gives him?

"If you're mid shag and hear your brother's car approach try hiding in the closet or under the bed until the coast is clear!"??
