Very disturbed as well, Assad is up there with Putin - pure evil. Will be more ammunition as well against City

Assad was alright when the queen had him over at the palace though.

Yes that was before he butchered hundreds of thousands of his own people

It doesn't look like Assad is going anywhere, so what is the problem engaging in some diplomacy? If they were arming him, then we would have something to talk about. Let them take care of their own regional politics without some smartarse football journalist sending emoji tweets.

Look, we can't get away from the fact that Mansour is part of the royal family and involved in some capacity as a government representative. It only matters in two situations: i) he owns us as a proxy for the state. He doesn't and, imho, that will never be challenged where it actually matters, or ii) the UAE detaches itself from a policy of what we call modernisation, and starts working against western foreign policy and then he becomes the UAE's Abramovich to the UAE's Putin. That won't happen, either.

I would relax a little.

They go on to talk about other close calls and how theyve failed... Wanna guess which team has a video of them being knocked out of a cup one year?

That's before 350,000 people were killed in Syria which include chemical weapons and bombing of hospitals. How anyone can make light of this is beyond me.

I've defended SM and UAE pretty much since the takeover in 2008, this is not defendable and the timing is horrific.

... They have literally lost their minds.

It's more that people have lost the ability to think for themselves. I blame it on social media and the internet practically forcing folk into short sound bites of information. The rise of Tiktok should have been obvious I suppose after Twitter's 120 character limit. With news aggregators I suspect that a lot of people don't actually get past the headlines.

Yes, you are right. He, and his father before him, were absolute saints before the visit.

I must say though I was a bit disturbed at the recent meeting with Assad

I told this moron City had been independently audited for 12 years and no one, not even UEFA, had ever alleged we were state-owned. His reply was: I don’t accept that. He is happy to believe conspiracy theories from online loons. I fear for the future of this country.

It really is pathetic all this talk of a quadruple, it's as though they'll just breeze past us now and the media have obviously got them down to beat us in a few weeks time. And if we play each other in the fa cup or champs league it's a formality that Liverpool will win both matches. Fucking bullshit!
