    Football is ****ed.

    It's just a ****in gimmick nowadays.

    Most of us ordinary fans really couldn't give a ****.

    Almost as commercialised as Christmas now.

    **** 'em. **** 'em all.

    Think this is a **** idea.

    I wonder were Platini picks for the final.

    I'm going for Nou Camp.

    Milk that cash cow. The problem comes when fans become disenchanted and no longer pay the prices to see the games and there is a sudden lack of revenue. Platini really is a ****.

    As I said in my thread on this subject several weeks ago: fans won't know which country their quarter finals will be in until the group stage is complete. How are they supposed to plan for that?

    I knew about it weeks ago too but the details released in TODAY'S press release seem to make it even worse than I thought it would be. Especially the part about the draw for the group stages and "regionalisation". Might as well not bother having a draw.

    Telly. It's a further step toward total commerce. Only ****s at the games will be the suits.

    I think the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish should all boycott the tournament in protest, by deliberately not qualifying.

    And let the morris dancing English qualify and embarass themselves yet again.

    Grand idea.

    Something tells me you're not being entirely sincere.

    But what has this got to do with the faked lunar landings and 9/11?

    They should hold the final in Tel Aviv - that would make everyone very happy and not be in the slightest little bit controversial. Mind, an England Italy final in Brussels could be a laugh as that might bring back a few memories........
