| Red faces over Wembley pink seats |  Wembley will host its first FA Cup final since 2000 |
Thousands of seats at the new £800m Wembley Stadium have faded in the sunshine and turned from red to pink. The "photochromic degradation" began about six months ago and they have now been ripped out. A Wembley Stadium spokesman said the builder, Mulitiplex, has paid for the replacement of the seats which are said to number less than 10,000. Last July, the 90,000-seater north London venue replaced 5,000 seats after a problem with the red dye. A Wembley Stadium spokesman said: "The seats faded in colour and they have been replaced. The builder has paid for the replacement. "No events will be affected by this and the stadium's capacity remains unaffected." Wembley will host the FA Cup final on 19 May between Chelsea and Manchester United. The first game to be played at the new stadium was staged in March, when England's under-21 team drew 3-3 with Italy. The game was the second of two events the stadium had to host before being granted a safety certificate. |

Imagine you were invited to be one of the first two? "Hello, we have this big fucking stadium which so far has been a fucking disaster. Would you like to come and play one of the games we need to host before we're granted a safety certificate?" "Fuck off"

| | Hahahaha! Incompetent twats. A White Elephant indeed: Uefa says the new Wembley does not incorporate many of its requirements to stage a Champions League final, despite two meetings during construction to explain what they are (Times).

Hahahaha! Incompetent twats. A White Elephant indeed: Uefa says the new Wembley does not incorporate many of its requirements to stage a Champions League final, despite two meetings during construction to explain what they are (Times). I have come to believe the FA is actually run by chimps. "We wondered why they kept throwing shit at us" said a UEFA spokesman. "We thought they they were just angry about having to pay Sven's wages" True story.
It's practically Christmas today! |

Donkeys seem closer related to the FA.

Far too go-getting and smartly dressed to work for the FA. Your average monkey is overqualified for the job, really.
