With classic fickleness, German fans turned against their beloved octopus after he forecast a Spanish win.

According to "Der Western" daily paper, there have been "a host of comments on Facebook, Twitter ... suggesting Paul should be fried, barbequed or turned into a seafood salad or paella."

"Others wanted to throw him into the shark tank," the paper reported on its website.

And on Berlin's "fan-mile", some sections of the crowd also turned against their former hero. Anti-octopus songs were sung. AFP - July 8, 2010, 11:47 am

I'm fairly certain he got the final wrong last time, it might just be the case that he gets every result right up until the final.

For what it's worth, my turtle reckons Holland on penalties, but I dont know if I can trust him really.

Paul, the octopus who became a pop culture sensation by correctly predicting the outcome of as many World Cup matches as he has legs, is going to retire.

The intuitive invertebrate will "step back from the official oracle business", said Tanja Munzig, of the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen. "There are a lot of offers for Paul from betting offices and other areas. One thing is clear: Paul is staying with us," she said.

Paul was presented with a golden cup – similar to the World Cup trophy – garnished with his favourite food, mussels.
