Oh Blatter! Can’t you be in the news for the RIGHT reasons for once? Apparently, the answer is a big, fat NO! FIFA President Sepp Blatter has been the most powerful man in World Football since he was first elected to the post in 1998. What’s astounding is that he continues to hold the same position despite an unrelenting series of gaffes, that most people have now christened ‘Blatterism’. Sepp has been accused of siphoning money, and has been recorded live as a sexist, homophobic, corrupt, Ronaldo-hating *******. If the members of FIFA are still making sure that he is the president, then either his competitor must be a REAL tool (some say he is), or the answer is obvious: – the elections are rigged.

Verdict: Might just have something in it
