Oi! Wankers!

Three things that scare me:
1) The kid is very young
2) He's wearing a patch of a Dutch football club (Feyenoord)
3) That appears to be blood,

and the fact that that picture is old as the internet

I was wondering why the Dutch would be picking fights in England......

I didn't really care untill it became a France v Britain thing. I think Chirac shot himself in the foot with his frankly racist remarks. Britain had done nothing for EU Agriculture ? From the country that takes half the EU budget to prop up it's own farmers ? kiss my f*****g arse.

And to think they banned the flying of flags durng the recent Naval festivities to avoid upsetting the French & Spanish. Some French guy was on the telly saying it wasn't "helpfull" mark the occsaion. He can kiss me arse too.

Rant ends.

Good. You guys can have it. Hopefully this'll change Bloomberg's plans on how he spends the state's money, instead of on that lame ass stadium.
NY schools are in such horrible shape, and they want to spent 1 billion on a new stadium. Assclowns.

That ugly ass stadium already got shot down, I thought?

I don't think that the US is going to get any of the olympic games for a VERY long time.

Mayor is looking at it as only one roadblock on his crusade to congest downtown manhatten.

Bllomberg's up there with Bush on my asshat list.

Good. Now everyone can come to Indianapolis and tell to our mayor to botch the new stadium here as well.

Well, I'm very glad that London got it... I was listening to the whole thing on the radio while driving - and I don't say this often - but I actually felt quite proud to be British at that moment.

Of course, my national pride faltered once again today having read the Daily Mails take on the whole thing. It started out alright - with the celibration that we had it etc. etc. and gradually went downhill. Rather than just being happy that Britain had this - it resorted to insulting the French and focussing on the potential financial difficulties / "who's going to pay for all this?" type stuff that is so typical of that ****ty rag.

It'd be really nice if - just for once - we could rise above insulting everyone else, rubbing it in peoples faces and prancing around like the high school bully who just got some other kids lunch money... and just enjoy what was achieved.

Ah well.. at least we do have it, and that's a good thing.

While I do enjoy what we achieved I do think that some rubbing it in the faces of the French is called for.

While the british sent a huge delegation to try and convince the IOC the French from what I heard sent a video cause they were certain they were going to win. Making an assumption like that which is later proved false does deserve a little ribbing at least

No doubt rags like the Daily Mail take it too far though.

I find that it's best to just not read anything even remotely associated with the Daily Mail.

As for us getting it, I'm finding it hard to get worked up about it to be honest. London's a long way from here, and they get everything anyway. I suspect it'll get ballsed-up somehow - most things do (remember the Millenium Tit?), and I quite liked the idea of the games in Paris (though it's true, the French were rather arrogant and over-confident about getting it). London is a bloody ugly city, it must be said. Although the silly money that will be thrown at this will hopefully redevelop some of the worst bits....
