Mrs ghosts dad is a spurs fan and drove us to the airport at like 4am the day after they blew it and for reasons known only to himself had talksport on. Just gripping the steering wheel listening to calls from Leicester fans who were still out from the night before

To be fair, the ultimate outside shot team winning the title is a great story.

Shame they bottled it and Leicester won instead really.

Remembering the 2018/22 world cup announcement and the absolute certainty that England would host it, and the subsequent campaign for the BBC to be defunded for running an investigative special about FIFA corruption the night before which obviously turned them against us

That was a thing for 2010 in South Africa too, which I think went so far as to say that FIFA and its the World Cup venues were essentially their own micronation and whatever their rules and regulations were superseded any parts of the South African constitution that it clashed with during the tournament.

And yet, vuvuzelas were still allowed.

Yep this is right. I distinctly remember reading about how only FIFA approved vendors could operate within a certain number of kilometres around the WC stadiums. Sensational.

And if I further remember correctly, the above basically meant that the 2010 World Cup ended up doing next to nothing economically for South Africa itself.

The thought process that went into that was truly impressive. Let's take an animal that can hear noises impossible for humans to register and blast a noisemaker described as "sounding like a swarm of bees" right in its face. Dude's honestly lucky the doggo didn't up and bite a chunk out of his dumb rear end.
