This is not a plea for funds but my watch needs a new battery - getting one will probably double the value of the item that is still pretty accurate for a cheap thing brought many years ago.
Mind you that is in sharp contrast to the watches valued at £16,000 given out to more than 25 FIFA officials - that is going on towards half a million pounds in free watches alone to FIFA officials by the Brazilian football authorities ...... just a co-incidence then that the world cup has been there and not in England (or many other countries) where such activities would not be allowed.

Still, I can feel quite pleased - my attendance at games along with thousands of others, week in and week out, across the football league and down into non-league is the foundation that allows millions and millions of pounds each week to pour into the coffers of individual football associations and then to FIFA.
And so I shall go and buy a new battery content in the knowledge that my money is helping to keep FIFA and its officials wallowing in cash and in the life style of free games, pensions and big cars (and don't forget watches) that they deserve.
