Ridiculous Radio

"Ginger Whinger" strikes again

"Arshavin shouldn't have been allowed to back Russia's bid as he plays in England", "Arshavin should be booed at every Premier League ground he goes to", "Arshavin should not be allowed back into England after what he did to us."

Just three quotes taken from the talkSPORT radio station last night following FIFA's decision that the 2018 World Cup would be hosted in Russia. Presenter Adrian Durham was the main culprit, stating on his Drive Time programme that he was "all for booing" Andrei Arshavin when he next plays for Arsenal.

The Ginger Whinger is no stranger to controversy with professional footballers, having called Liverpool's Jamie Carragher a "bottler" upon his decision to retire from international football - a comment he soon retracted when a furious Carragher rang the show demanding that Durham turn up at Melwood, Liverpool's training ground, for a face-to-face confrontation with the Scouser.

Arshavin celebrated the decision in Zurich with Russian dignitaries.

Arshavin, who will be 37 by the time the World Cup goes to Russia, is the captain of his national side and had every right to make a speech on behalf of the Russian World Cup bid at FIFA HQ in Zurich. This move sparked outrage amongst brainless idiots across the nation with Durham being at the forefront of the scathing attack.

After the decision went the way of his country, the 29 year old forward was understandably delighted but remained dignified in the face of what was a great victory for Russia. However, this has not stopped clowns like Durham using him as a scapegoat for England's failed World Cup bid.

It appears that Durham has forgotten about David Beckham's part in England's bid. Beckham was one of the most recognisable English faces who was 'backing the bid' despite playing in America lost out to Qatar in their bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

In light of FIFA's decision, there have been some stupid comments made regarding the outcome but Durham's idiocy tops the lot of them by a long shot.

No doubt the whole nation is holding its collective breath as it awaits Durham to turn his attention to Beckham, expecting an expletive-filled rant where the radio host will presumably order all American "soccer" fans to boo the ex-England talisman and tell him never to return to America for as long as he lives.
