Couldn't be bothered to read all of the thread so please accept my apologies if this is already on here, but saw this prediction / planner which I thought was quite good:

Hutchings should sue. That's downright libellous.

No, it's just hilarious. Whoever wrote that article is thicker than a very thick shake left in the freezer overnight.

I didn't think you could sue someone for telling the truth :lol:
Funniest thing I have read in ages. Hutchings is a well known loser, not a surprising choice imo.

I did have a chuckle when I saw Capello having a go at the photographers. He has a point though.

Journalists, bloody stalkering perverts the lot of them

BBC have a link to this.

As World Cup calendars go, this one is genius. Designed by somebody with far too much time on their hands methinks.

I really liked what that bald bloke said on ITV, it doesnt matter who wins, because South Africa have already won.

I would've executed that man for being a defeatist. I am not usually a kneejerk kind of guy but the World Cup is special. Football is special. And this is why I am so damned excited. It makes me so happy.

I'm on my last placement of my PGCE and I don't care about anything else at the moment. I am consumed by finding out and watching cack games that I wouldn't usually worry about if it were a friendly or qualifier for another continent. I LOVE THE WORLD CUP!!!

Yeah id execute him for being happy that his once divided and turmoiled country all sticks together in the name of football. Why would he care who wins?

What a defeatist. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Aye, and it has to be said, their coach is pretty fly, half expected him to spark up a fat one at the start of the game.
