Did you watch the Real Madrid game v Al Hilal?
Excellent standard of football from both sides.
Al Hilal were very creative and solid in defence, some lovely one touch play.

Overall game was a draw but many said Al Hilal would be disappointed not to win it.
We definitely should not underestimate them.

No; I didn't watch that game. I've watched precious little of the tournament that we're not involved in. It hasn't grabbed me yet; maybe the knockout stages will. It's the same with World Cups and European Championships, to be honest. And the old format of the CL. The group games were largely a bit meh. But it has to be acknowledged that it's been fantastic for developing our team, and helping the new lads to settle in. I don't think Pep ever underestimates teams. And I've said on here many times; respect the opposition, but don't fear them. Which I stand by.
 
Oh well here we go again, luckily im not out Monday night but be up at 1 30 for game, have a few drinks watching it, take dog for a walk at 4 30 and back to bed, sleep as long as I can as got a funeral on Tuesday morning
 
Lol, just set this to record on C5 so I can watch "as live", but with the risk of weather delays I set the programmes after it as well. Wife is now wondering why our planner includes multiple episodes of Peppa Pig and a random Friends.

Life as a modern City fan.

People do in a lot of industries, often secondments for 2 year but end up staying longer.

The wages aren't massively more but it is tax free so money in the bank is at least double, and compound life is a bit like an upmarket Butlins with its own amateur potato vodka/gin distillers and grape juice vineyard.

It isn't really possible to answer unless you have been offered it and shown around KSA. If your employer has a deal with the Government there, rather than get punished for a "crime" there you just get 48 hours to leave and back to your old job with a pay increase.

I think we'd struggle without Rodri, Rjjjnders and AitNouri but they probably need to rest.

It's a pity Lewis is suspended, I'd have had him in and give Mateus a rest. Also, if Bobb is fit enough, I'd have him in instead of Gundogan. The rest, though, is fair enough.

The wages footballers are being offered to play out there, are massive. Wasn't rat face offered £750.000 a week, tax free?
As i replied to the original comment, you don't need to live there (Mahrez for example)
