    2022 World Cup Discussion

    Seen this doing the rounds on Facebook claiming it's Doha, but pretty sure that's Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. He was over here a few weeks ago doing some work for City.

    2022 World Cup Discussion

    Don't worry, it's utter bollocks. Anyone who's spent any time in the Middle East would be able to tell you that. Sure, it won't be like Brazil or Germany, but it'll be nothing like that article is describing. And I can guarantee that's not a real Qatari "police insider" speaking in those quotes...

    2022 World Cup Discussion

    They do have off licences so there are ways and means. Plus the airport duty free that people will no doubt stock up on as they arrive. Same as here in the UAE.

    2022 World Cup Discussion

    It's a ridiculous place to be holding a World Cup, no doubt about that. But it's hardly Qatar's fault that the £ to $ exchange rate is so shit these days. And it's 4 pints at a time, not in total.

    Ivan Toney

    You've no idea what exactly he's been charged with yet, none of us do.

    Ivan Toney

    He's not been accused of match fixing or placing bets involving his own team. They're not allowed to bet on anything football related worldwide, so it could even be something as innocuous as betting on the outcome of games in the Danish 2nd division! He's likely facing a ban of some sort but I...

    FIFA Uncovered | Netflix Documentary on Corruption | Available 9 November

    Anyone else notice there was a photo of him at the Etihad in (I think) episode 3? Or at least stood next to someone wearing a City blazer with the old badge on it. Looked like a photo with two of the hospitality staff.

    An excuse that definitely doesn't work for Rishi and Sunak!

    Booted for sending an email on a private phone

    Russian invasion of Ukraine

    Yep. And anyone who feels the need to repeatedly say "I'm not bluffing" is almost certainly bluffing.

    Formula 1 2022

    Absolute bollocks. Why was he even allowed to leave the pits again when there was clearly something wrong with the car

    Avanti suspends ticket sales and running only one train per hour to London

    Possibly CrossCountry then West Midlands. Yeah, it wasn't cheap (around £75 I think they said) but every other route was in the hundreds of pounds due to the strike so it was by far the best option that day.

    Avanti suspends ticket sales and running only one train per hour to London

    Can't advise on that but I had some friends come up to Manchester from London a few weeks ago when there was a strike on and they changed at Stafford. Booking it as two separate journeys/tickets. So maybe look at that

    Olivia’s killer guilty - Minimum of 42 years

    Sounds horrific this. The family weren't even the targets. Someone who was being shot at just burst into their house and the shooter followed him.

    The Great British Rip off

    Of course they have. He's just not in one of them by the sounds of it. Although I'm guessing there might not be much choice when it comes to Covid

    United Thread - 2022/23

    Yep, they'll be holding City and Liverpool games back as they know we'll both be challenging towards the end. They need to get the rags in early while their deluded hordes still have some enthusiasm to watch them play

    The Line - Saudi Arabia

    A friend of mine is working on this and when he described it to me a few months ago, all I could think was that it sounded like something out of Demolition Man. This promo video hasn't done much to change my mind! It will be mightily impressive from a construction point of view, but it looks...
