Wonder if he'll present the Womens' World Cup Trophy in Canada as he normally does, or whether he's not as confident as he makes out.
Brilliant. He is a complete fckg nutcase isn't he !?

Blatter is innocent and he says this as a true Christian (barring some mild disagreement on Catholic dogma).
"My faith has given me strength during the last week. I am a religious person and pray, too. I own a golden cross that has been blessed by Pope Francis," said Blatter.

"I believe I will go to heaven one day. But I believe there is no hell. I disagree with the Pope on that."
Anyone who says bad things about him should be imprisoned.

Well, you can't argue with that I guess...

Jesus's cross was rough, common wood. Blatter has a gold one blessed by the Pope. Hmmmm

Interesting press conference at FIFA HQ just now.

Blatter was just about to make his opening remarks when a man, clearly English, approached and threw a bundle of bank notes at him.

"Vere is my Security?" stammered Blatter before leaving stage right, quite shaken.

Edit to add: it was the same 'comedian' who interrupted Glastonbury to promote his own show.

Blatter says that whilst he was off stage he called his late mother who told him 'not to worry, it was a lack of education.' :conf:

I can't stand Lee Nelson. Personally I find him as funny as a whack ont' todge. Fair play to him here though :)

Good for him .... although I generally think he's a knob. However anyone who gives Blatter grief is OK by me.

Talking of whom, I see the slimy c*nt is still going about his business of "reforming" FIFA.

Think we're all in agreement that Lee Nelson is by far our favourite cnut in that two cnut fight

3 years before the World Cup rocks up in Russia - a decision that has managed to escape derision only by dint of being less ridiculous than giving it to Qatar - it's good to see they're dealing with their racism problem.

After being the umpteenth player to be racially abused by a crowd over their, Emmanuel Frimpong reacted badly and was sent off. Frimpong apologised afterwards saying he shouldn't have reacted but that racism remains a huge problem in Russian football. This is what the General Manager of his OWN team said afterwards:

Ufa general director Shamil Gazizov said his club would not be calling for Spartak to be punished, describing it as an "unfortunate incident".
"There were people who could have shouted things. These are emotions which go away after the game. We are partners with the red and whites and are on good terms," he said.
"What Frimpong did was wrong. Sometimes you even have to hold back the tears and just put up with it."

Priorities straight, then.

I saw that. Shame Lee nelson didn't shower that c*nt Blatter with housebricks.
Some nice person will probably try to justify it by saying the World Cup will encourage Russia to deal with the problem or suchlike.
I'm glad the guy came out with such nonsense if only to show them up.

Obviously we're wrong about Blatter .... the Russian in charge of their bid told us. So an apology is due.

The old c*nt turned up in Moscow today in preparation for the next World Cup qualifying draw. Interesting he went there but was too busy to go to Canada !!

I'm half-expecting England not to be in the draw as FIFA sulk. To be quit honest I don't think I'd care.

He's on the way out and seems determined not to have to resign. He must be really worried about what can come out when he can't influence it at all.

Good. I hope he's caking himself & every waking moment is one of fear.

He's had 4 months and a team of people busily shredding and deleting ... not to mention support from Putin to clear stuff put. But yes, he's still hanging in & that's for a reason.

Unfortunately he's not, cacking it that is. FIFA are headquartered in Switzerland for a reason... and the gnomes don't want to send out the wrong messages to all the bent bastards who operate even worse scams than FIFA and deposit their hard-earnt in the Alpine Vaultages.
That's not a leopard!

There appears to be a link between the timing of Platini getting £1m for services rendered ... all-be those services which no-one can quite work out .... and his withdrawal from the race to replace the old Swiss guy in charge.

Well ... I'd be jiggered.
