twaddle

I was just having a look at the BBC News website and noticed a story in the Sports section about the seemingly-soon-to-be-vacant England Football Manager's position.

Now, I wouldn't normally comment on such things, but the following quote from Dave Richards - the Chairman of the Premier League - really stood out for me:

"We are the biggest nation in the world that plays this game and we want someone who can really move us on"

Is that true? Is England really the biggest nation in the world that plays football? Is it buggery! This is a diddy little country with a population of, what, fifty million or so. China have a national football team, do they not? And, if I'm not mistaken, they also have a domestic league set-up. Eejit-boy Richards! Pfft!

Sorry about that. Carry on everyone. I just thought I'd point it out. *ahem*
