It's always the f*cking way isn't it? You bet an Irish barman £100 that Arsenal will finish above Manchester United in the Premier League and Robin Van Persie is immediately nobbled by an Italian.
Is it not about time we called time on international football? Does anyone really give a hoot about the World Cup any more? No..it's rubbish. Surely it's about time it was devolved to the amateur game and club football was free from this irritating diversion.
Back in the day the World Cup was something different. Exotic even, especially when it was held in South America. The poor technology of those days added to its allure. The commentators even sounded thousands of miles away. It was an opportunity to see footballers from all over the globe when the globe was oh so much bigger, 'specially the Brazilians in their famous yellow kit on a colour TV for the first time, it was magical stuff, but those days have passed.
All those players are playing in our domestic game now and technology has made the world oh so much smaller. The Champions League is the highest level of football as we speak. The World Cup has become redundant.
Pointless international friendlies clearly only exist now to reduce Arsenal's chances of winning trophies. Robin Van Persie is always odds on to snap a bone or two in these games. Ferguson's probably been on the blower to the Italians, sat in a leather chair in a big room in an underwater city, stroking a white cat and demanded our man be taken care of. It's a f*cking conspiracy.
