Honestly Lowy has billions from his Westfield fortune. I sincerely hope each of the Exco members have received a few $1 million gift vouchers to Westfield outlets... Lowy has like 5 years till statistics say he's dead, surely a dollar or two can go missing. Btw, Morgan Freeman's gaffe will not cost USA anything, doubt they even noticed. FUCK QATAR, they poach all these mega-celebrities for their bid with their huge $$$$$$. Zizou, oh Zizous, why are you helping them ? :(

*Zidane is my fave player ever.

Manchester until I was 12, then a couple of years in London
What kind of accent do you have? :)

Lol it's mostly a Manc one, albeit not very strong. I guess it's been a little affected London and Ausralia, but not as much as you'd expect.

How're you enjoying the snow back home then?
   Mine is normally standard home counties, but if I try to loosen my vowels, it comes out as an odd hybrid of English and Australian, or so people tell me.

 Snow is off and on atm, there was a nice cover of it last night though, reflected by the streetlights. And there's always the risk of only a few snowflakes stultifying the public transport systems.

 Where do your tribal footballing allegiances lie then?

    only hours (if that) to Judgement Day for 2018...

Rumor:  FIFA delegates sighted hugging Qatari officials at a hotel.

If this shit is true, FIFA is the most corrupt piece of shit organisation.

But hey, it wouldn't be the first time they screwed us (think back to 06 WC dive penalty)

That was a legit penalty *folds arms*

Holding the WC in a freezing climate and then a desert is an...interesting decision
