I went to old trafford once in among the season ticket holders, I was so bloody high up it was like watching 22 ants running around a patch of grass-much better on the TV.

Only when its sunni weather Derek

Bet England wish Bobby Moor was playing

Great thing about football - you can go shopping when the match is on because all the sheeple are watching the match - roads are clear, empty isles, no screaming kids - thanks you football god!

I think most of the games will be in the very early morning. Just what do YOU do in a supermarket at that time?

Getting there before the pensioners...

I'm having my scrotum nailed to the Kitchen Table with 6 inch nails and my eyes pierced with knitting needles just to make sure I don't catch any of this time wasting garbage . Overpaid players and corrupt Organisation . I'll just take the dog for a nice walk now .

There's an image that won't leave me too soon, Chippy walking the dog whilst dragging the kitchen table that's nailed to his nutsack!

being scottish i have plenty of time for modelling as i wait and wait and wait for scotland to be in the world cup, but good luck england i hope you do well. remember dont swipe at the midges and they wont bother you/badger

This is all working out just fine for me... Stanley Cup finals could be over as early as tomorrow night (Wednesday at the latest) and now the World Cup starts... That means there will be no sports on TV to keep me away from the workbench.

I'm rooting for Germany as always, but would be betting on Brazil if I were so inclined. Like Badger, I'd also be cheering on Scotland (and Wales) if they ever had a chance in hell.

Mark and chippy ....
Man I have just stopped laughing ,I too have this mental image which I feel will haunt me for years to come
Cheers guys

Chris! ... the biggest mistake 'Chippy', could make is to throw a ball, whilst in this predicament !! ... as I feel that the dog could well become easily confused! .. One ball went out, yet there are now three balls on the floor to choose from!

Quite enjoy watching the games, my only concern is the poor quality of the refereeing, some real dodgy decisions already being made and we're not even two games in.

Come on England.....

You FOOLS I intended to take the dog for a walk first before going through the procedure , to be honest it's working out fine, all my meals are right in front of me , I can put a pillow down and fall asleep where I stand , I've installed a keg of Thatchers Gold Cider within arms length it's not until I drop something on the floor that any real problems arise .

You kill me lol

Sales of PreparationH have just soared in most spanish pharmacies!

Proper penalties involved Norman Hunter, Jack Charlton and Billy Bremner and a stretcher ...... no controversy or debate involved.

Stand back, watch and learn. The pitch and stadium that I think are shocking has just had green paint mixed with the grass/sand mix already there. Head greenkeeper there said on TUESDAY it was shit (in Bazilian). World Cup arrangers were supposed to know in December of any problems.
Think the main Problems will be Brazilian not FIFAs. Some of the stadiums with lots of added seats have never been properly weight tested.
That could brighten a match, 600 fans falling onto a lower crowd.
Hope England can overcome the paint and sand!
