We can argue all day about that but I shall redo my last paragraph:

You're gonna get pelters on here and your sounding like a selfish nob. Some people sounded arrogant, so you would starve the nation of a great tournament and billions in investment and a boost for the economy.

Sorry pidge, you're wumming, again. You back the media against city and now back the foreign bids against our own.

You want to put personal one upmanship (in showing those "arrogant" people on the radio), ahead of a major boost for the country, its people and economy.

I don't back the media against City, I just hold a total different view to the majority, and you know why that is so its pointless bringing that up. I'll leave you all to the Beckham wankathon, (some people are phoning up talksport saying they have tears in their eyes through his speech).

I am not having a wankathon. I just want this country to host the world cup.

3 - better than the 9 and 11 that need building for the russian and iberian bids.

Not even that. Stadium MK already exists. It has two tiers, though they only have seating in the bottom tier at the moment. All they need to do there is put seating into the upper tier. It is only Plymouth and Bristol than need doing from scratch.

I stand corrected.

My point was really that the there is a lot of media and popular misconceptions about our bid, not least that the suggested economic benefits have been wildly overegged.

The 'economy boost' line is rubbish, all you can ever hope for from hosting a major tournament is prestige and breaking even.

I'd still love it though.

Thats a huge swing England were 11/4 yesterday so either a lot of money has been placed on england or its a very small market which i doubt. Hopefully its the corrupts feckers in fifa suits piling the reddies on rather than us mere minnions on the street.
