A sad ceremony was held today in the corner of a well-known Parisian cemetery to mark the passing of the English 2018 World Cup bid.
The valiant efforts of the lads, Davy-Boy, Wicked Willy and who was the other one.. oh yeah, Davy-Boy, were thwarted thanks to widespread corruption and vote rigging at the very heart of the FIFI board, who finally gave the go-ahead to a country whose leadership is rife with widespread corruption and vote rigging: namely, ex-communist dictatorship Russia lead by 'ex'-KGB spy, Vladimir Puton.
Understandably the chaps were unhappy, and chose the intimate surroundings of Montmartre to assuage their chagrin, followed by a darn good night out on the piss in Pigalle, which was conveniently located just around the corner.
A pale day indeed for English football, then, that sport where grown men get to play with their balls in public, and get paid the GDP of a developing country to do so. Rest in peace, comrade.
