Further frustration as FIFA minions flounder again

I HATE international breaks. I especially hate international breaks when greed, incompetence and more total disregard for the fans meant that come Saturday, there were thousands of people wandering their respective towns trying (mostly in vain) to find a pub showing the England game.

Then there was FIFA vice-president Jack Warner’s comments about England’s World Cup bid being too lightweight. To suggest the Queen go crown-in-hand to a body which bestows patronage with a mix of dark arts, brown envelopes and seemingly carrier-bags of goodies is insulting.

Speaking of FIFA, it’s all gone a bit quiet on the Kakuta business since Chelsea started releasing some of the information regarding his signing. Rather than showing the Blues in a bad light, the new information depicts them as having followed procedure and ensuring that the kid gets a formal education, something the French club cared little about. No doubt FIFA’s flying monkeys are desperately trying to make charges stick, especially as they hung Chelsea out to dry so publicly. But I’m not bitter...
