Two "coincidental" stories from today's newspapers: first from the News of the World, Wills puts boot into football cheats, we note of how Prince William yesterday attended the "Respect and Fair Play Awards" in his capacity as President of the Football Association (which first met in 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern), where he pledged to encourage good sportsmanship and "stamp out the deplorable scenes that have blighted our game in the past".
An indication of what William was perhaps referring to is the story that England's 2018 World Cup bid is in doubt after Football Association chief, Lord Triesman, accused the Spanish and Russian FAs' of some sort of referee bribery scam. The report from the BBC is here; being honest it is more the timeous "connection" that interests me, given the ongoing political situation, kingmaker stories, and all the MP's expenses malarkey from last year.

It's a funny old game.
