Is it just the way British media report it, or do UEFA and FIFA genuinely have an anti-English thing going on?

Unsurprisingly, an Arsenal fan was stabbed on Wednesday night for having the audacity for following his team out to Italy to play Roma. How many times has there been trouble in Italy/Rome now? It's gotta be the third or fourth time this has happened now in the last few years. And yet UEFA reward Roma by letting them host the Champions League final, and turn a blind eye every time something like this happens

Then you had Platini slagging off Wenger:

“I like to talk about football, him (Wenger) about business. We must stop with Wenger and all that.”

And of Wenger’s support for video assistance, Platini raged: "It would make me happy that Arsene Wenger never sees it."

Now, I know I'm an Arsenal fan, but that's just really unprofessional, isn't it? He has a responsibility to not act like a petulant cunt

Whatever your feelings on it, you get the impression that Blatter wants to push this 6+5 thing through to stop the English 'dominance' of Europe (or is that just being superior/paranoid?), and nothing's been done about all the racism stuff over in Spain over the years. And yet, you blatantly know that Spain are going to get the World Cup in 2018 over us

Why does everyone hate us so much?
