@martynziegler @KieranMaguire Should get rid of the bloody travel bulletins. I don’t need to know if there’s a road closed in Shrewsbury, or the Swinton interchange is busy at 8am.

@martynziegler I really admire the stance UEFA and CONCACAF have taken against Infantino so far.
They've been the game changers in this entire saga.

@martynziegler Infantino can't be reading these statements and thinking 'you know what, I might be able to hang on here' can he?

@martynziegler Magnificent news.
I was worried that smaller UEFA association members heads would have been turned by the money.
Commercially Infantino's sell-out proposal is dead in the water.
No European teams = no party.

@martynziegler He will get the votes of majority of the developing countries because they simply can’t refuse the money
And that’s how he stays in power.
Pure vermin. And we thought Blatter was bad.
