2022 World Cup Discussion

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I wonder if any clubs are going to struggle with 6 weeks of no match day income ?

Club shop, catering, beer sales all zero. Lots of casual staff not getting any wages in the build up to Christmas and increase cost of living.

This could hit employees and some clubs hard

They’ve all just had an 18 month dummy run, so they’ll probably be alright.

This World Cup is going to be a disaster. You’ll miss half the issues in main stream media. Infantino‘s incoherent gaslighting was just the start. I’m looking forward to it all unraveling.

Use a jug.

I tried that, but had problems teaching the camel to piss in to the jug without needing me to hold its cock

Fifa pay clubs a fee of $10000 per player per day until they leave at the tournament, we are set to get about $1300000 per day while all are there.

we made 3.6 million from last time in russia


most premier league clubs have a player or two at least so will be still making money, some have commited to make sure employees don't lose out too.

They’d better be careful, otherwise it’ll cost them an arm and a leg.

When does plastic-face turn up?

when they pass round the brown envelopes, or in his case the big brown holdall

they'll have a tariff starting with a finger and ending with you head depending on the severity of lawbreaking

Agree with your comment. But it is also true that the UK press coverage of Qatar has been very unfair and distorted. For example still repeating the false Guardian story about 6,500 workers dying on the World Cup work. The figure is total deaths from all causes over a prolonged period. Migrant workers make up 80 per cent of the population of Qatar so the figure which includes heart disease and cancer is not as bad as painted.

That fact does need to be refuted agreed.

But it is not racist to point out that what is effectively a city of 3 million people should not be hosting a world Cup. They do not have the infrastructure, accommodation or frankly the geographical size to host a tournament of this size. If they had of spread it to Oman, Dubai Qatar etc much this criticism would disappear.

Qatar constant changing of the goalpost, hosting it in Summer but actually no we meant winter, fans can drink at parks near the stadium but no they can't. The initial images of the fan parks of this tournament looks grim, like a football version of the Fyre festival.

Head to head record being last, right?
