It's a great read, hopefully United can get our hands on a couple of North Koreans

Quote

The crowd now expected victory. They chanted: "Glory, Glory, Kim Jong Un."

hmmmm - and the rest of the North Korean footballing songbook is:

The West consumed by fire
We all know Kim's desire
From the plans that he has made
He has us on a promise
Immerse me in your splendour
All the plans that you have made
It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
We've waited for

It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
Oh it's Kim Jong Un
It's Kim Jong Un
We've waited for



Woah me lads, you should've seen us runnin',
Passin' the folks along the road; 
They was all Kim Jung Un'in'
All the lads and lasses there, 
Wi' identical faces
Intent on using nuclear might
To irradiate inferior races



We're forever firing missiles
Pretty missiles in the air
They fly so high
Nearly reach the sky
Fall on the west, and millions die
Watch the glorious mushroom
Billowing as a cloud
Megatons of fiery oblivion
Make Juche Koreans proud



You fill up my senses
Like the Glorious Leader
Like a minimal selection of approved hairstyles 
Like a nicely wokked dog
Like a night out in PyongYang
Like a greasy chop suey
Oh-oh North Korea
Come thrill me again

Fancy North Korea to win a World Cup so long as they don't do anything mad like getting themselves nuked.

At the 2011 finals in Germany, five players failed drug tests. The North Korean delegation claimed they had accidentally failed the test because they took a traditional Chinese medicine extracted from a deer's musk gland. The medicine was administered, the delegation said, after several players were hit by lightning. 

Chris Froome is off to find a musky deer and have a round of golf in a thunder and lightning storm.

I thought he was supposed to be a tyrant? He seems pretty popular really. Bloody American imperialist media.

Celtic fans buying Kim Jung Un kit yet?

It would be quite cool to have a Dear Leader. Dear Leader Regan or Doncaster or suchlike. Statues outside Hampden, the lot.

Not sure if this is part of the article but if you live in North Korea you probably think they have won the World Cup multiple times already.

One of the previous dear leaders once got 18 holes in one during a golf game. I say golf as the new martial is probably getting 18 holes a night.

That's an urban myth.

It's claimed the North Koreans said Kim Jong-Il scored 5 holes-in-one, but it actually just "appeared" in the western media and was never claimed by the North Koreans.

I read it was reported in a Party newspaper by a hack who didn't understand the scoring system on his card. 1 meant a bogie rather than a hole in one. Nobody was brave enough to correct the score.
