Sepp Blatter (pictured above auditioning for Silence Of The Lambs) has revealed this morning that when he told the Irish FA that they could be accommodated in next years World Cup tournament in South Africa as the 33rd team, the only reason he said yes is because he thought it was a joke!. The hapless head of FIFA said 'I like a prank as much as the next guy, so when me and Michel were settling down with our lunchtime Paninis to watch the lunchtime edition of Neighbours, and the phone rings and it's this guy on the other end with a funny accent....i thought it was that funny fella who does the Eurovision and the Radio 2 breakfast show.....well i love that guy, so i went along with it. I didn't know it was actually Bernard 'Bernie' O'Byrne the head of the Irish FA!?. He asked me if they could go as the 33rd team, so i said yes.....the problem is every team who didn't qualify has since been on the phone asking to be re-entered because of things that they didn't agree with in their matches. So next years World Cup will start in February to make sure we get finished in time for the Final which we're already booked in for.....we've paid a deposit on that so I'm not losing £35, that's throwing money away......and instead of 32 teams, we'll be having 210, which is more than actually entered in the first place.....i think i may have been had!?'.
