ReplyDeleteI still find it incredible how much it cost to build. 757 million reasons why the FA is a complete joke.
ReplyDeleteI guess the only way you can possibly take your mind off the huge financial cost is to see how impressive the finished stadium looks.
ReplyDeleteHow long it'd distract you for I'm not quite sure...
Some- Number of people on the pitch.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great no doubt... let's just hope it doesn't fall over.
ReplyDeleteAnd while 98 kitchens is an impressive number, one wonders, even at full output, will they be able to produce enough pies for fat Frank's halftime snack.
ReplyDeleteRobben's out so one or two will be free.
ReplyDeleteFinal Predictions?
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing a 2-1 final in favor of ManU. I think they'll control the tempo. And with Essien in defense, the midfield will be easier to navigate.
0-0, Man Utd to win on penalties.
ReplyDeleteLump on.
With my track record, you'd be wise not to..
I think it'll be a draw too. 1-1, I'll say. Lampard and Rooney to score.
ReplyDeleteThen it'll go to penalties where I think Man U will win.
'Lump on'?
Yeah, lump on.
ReplyDeleteWade in with the wonga.
Bet Big.
All that caper.
I like the name - Im now convinced you are no longer talking to yourself - but it makes you look Irish... Chris O'Said.
;-)
Perhaps you're right. It seems we're destined to suffer through shootouts in every cup final. Maybe Platini can resolve this by mandating larger goals or playing with multiple balls at once.
ReplyDeleteOk... no more name confusion.
ReplyDeleteYou see - to have the name Chris means you are organised and have people's best interests at heart... :)
ReplyDeleteSmart: Thanks for explaining 'lump on'. Not a term I'm familiar with!
Chris (B Squad): I think Platini's the least of our worries. It's Sepp Blatter you've got to have serious reservations about...
We Chris' are pillars of society, aren't we.
ReplyDeleteSepp is senile, so I don't worry about him so much. Most of the time he's napping. And when he's not, he tends to forget what he just said.
It's safe to say that if you're the head of a federation, you're probably an asshat.
LOL! Another new term - asshat!! :-)
