I promise that if elected my FIFA presidency will see an end to shady backroom dealings and corruption, and future World Cups will be hosted based on an open competition of who will pay me the most money.

I deplore and condemn this corrupt programme.

Instead, I promise that if elected my FIFA presidency will see an end to shady backroom dealings and corruption, and future World Cups will be hosted based on an open competition where those countries that support my elevation to God-Emperor of the Universe will receive more votes than those that are foolish enough to resist my inevitable rise to supreme power over the entire cosmos.

I think everyone will agree that this programme offers a starkly modest and humble approach when compared to the egocentrism of Mr Blatter.

Well, "fair play" never really meant anything and we all knew that. The question is what's going to replace FIFA, cause we might just have had a situation where the good people depended on system malfunctions caused by corruption to live their lifes properly and I don't see a lot of places on this planet where the laws are as much as even half decent.

If elected to the office of President of FIFA, I shall do away with rank plutocracy (as Mr Blatter and Mr Ifreann would have you practice) and pitiful theocracy (as Mr Archregimancy proposes). Under a Tsarainese presidency, host nations will be chosen in fair and open competition, in the grandest tradition of thousands of years of sporting history. The prize of host nation will go to the strongest, the fiercest, the most skilled - the nation whose champion can defeat all others in a gladiatorial battle to the death. Those who fail in pursuit of this prize shall be interred beneath the stadia of the world, to hallow the ground with their spirits.

You who are about to die, salute me.

Under my stewardship, moving goalposts, pitch-tilting, multiball, goal celebration bonus points, and fifteen minutes of manager-allocated "overload time" - when the subs, the team bus and the mascots can come onto the pitch and join in - will reinvigorate the game. Tournaments will be held in Japan and the only translated commentary will be provided by Craig Charles.

Well that's certainly immature of him.

Blatter's resignation itself is a large upset though - just days ago it seemed he intended to go down with his ship, all the while proclaiming that icebergs were for lesser men.


It's more telling about Blatter that G&D makes a comment about Blatter running off with FIFA money, and you find it plausible.

In addition, you can have the cities of Japan bid for the final and other big matches by having a representative from each city take part in Takeshi's Castle. If nobody wins, the best replay of the day.

Nobody wins at Takeshi's Castle. It should instead be each city builds a giant robot that fight in a tournament to determine the host city.
