Think they've changed the rules of engagement, because apparently the draw had already been done, and news leaked through a computer hacker. Doesn't look good even for FIFA, that the draw is stictched up.

I think this bit says it all: World football's governing body had the option of naming France, the lowest-ranked European nation, in Pot Two but decided instead that the one European team should be drawn at random.
The French president of Uefa, Michel Platini, expected to rival Sepp Blatter

They did the same thing not that long ago (a WC or two ago) with the European playoff draw. Original plan was to draw all the teams from a single pot, at the last minute they decided to seed the teams. Pretty certain France were involved in that as well.

That little pedestal the ball sits on before premier league games, official organised banners/those stupid big flags. If the fans can't be arsed to organise their banners/flags fucking leave it.
Were those big banners passed over the crowd at Wembley in 1990 organised by the fans or the club?
I'm hungover and grumpy.

All flags/banners these days need a fire safety certificate. And the majority of grounds will want to see said certificate before allowing you to display your flag [ was asked for one at rovrum and colchester ~ wolves dont allow fan flags at all which is why they had those flag wavers around touchline before ko ]. Health and safety bollox gone mad

They did exactly the same again for the last three play-offs for either the WC or Euro Champs. They say that it will be a free draw prior to the start of the qualifiers, yet in the a few weeks before they then decide to seed the draw.

Despite football enjoying record amounts of revenue, football's regulatory and economic system fails miserably on numerous fronts and drives the professional game towards self-destruction," said Bobby Barnes, president of Fifpro's European division Tis only the top league in any given country that is awash with money mainly thru TV rights - only way that filters down is thru transfer fees, abolish those and many lower league clubs will no doubt go to the wall
