Hmmm.... Self Bladder was virtually licking the :butthead: of our Prince :hubbahubba:

Is there any sort of exhibition match taking place this time round? There's usually a match played around the time the winning bids are announced isn't there? Or have I made that up? :crazy:

[Win2Win]

No idea :doh

While they are locked up they may as well pick this weeks lottery numbers and the next Pope :rolleyes:

Well, we didn't get that then. Did we ever think we would :laugh

2018: Russia

2022: Qatar

Didn't even make it through the first round of voting :crazy:

we got 2 votes and one was Geoff Thompson I think. They were telling us something I think...like if you were an undemocratic country like Russia, you'd have more of a chance in future! :biggrin:

[Win2Win]

Well my theory on Russia was correct, and I've thought for a few months now Qatar would get it, only 2 million people, but due to the Middle Eastern problems it's basically a move by the West to bring them into the sporting family..... oh ... and the decision has nothing to do with politics :anerikke:
