How is this going to help our stuttering PL form? Complete waste of time but I hope those of you making the trip have an enjoyable time.
On the contrary , it may be the perfect time. Go away, bit of sun, play a couple of semi friendlies to work on the problems we have, not loads of pressure, and maybe cone home champions of the world.

I see no downsides with it

I am of this opinion too, a break away from the premier league will hopefully prove beneficial at this moment in time.
 
Setting off there tomorrow along with many others.
Reading some of the negative posts on here about the tournament maybe we shouldn't bother.
So most of us may not have heard of some of the teams in the competition, but they have got there by winning their various tournaments from around the world, and it's a big deal to most of them.
The title of being called the "best club side in the world" is something the club want, and it's the first time they've had the opportunity to do it.
This tournament will only get bigger in the future. As someone mentioned earlier, that winning it could give the team and club a real boost.
So hopefully it all goes well in the land of sand, and we bring another trophy back with us.

I hope you have a good trip and we win it for those travelling blues.
 
Polar opinions on this it seems. No right answer as it’s subjective.

I can understand both, though I am very much on the “It’s a great opportunity for us“ side of things.

When the next one arrives in 2025 and the prize money is more than the CL …now that would be truly bizarre if people still thought it was a waste of time. That said I’ve seen posters on here say the CL is also a complete waste of time and getting in the way of the Carabao Cup so who knows.

Don't take no notice, the forum is full of some right miserable sods. Hope you have a brilliant trip mate
 
This happened to me a few times, when some information you’ve entered is incorrect it seems to reset & then I would be unable to reselect certain parts (like the option to select 90 days) I think sometimes it just ‘timed out’, but I would check the picture that you’ve uploaded & make sure the background is white. In the end I went to Max Spielmann to get a proper photo (£15) and told them I needed it for a Saudi Visa, they sent it electronically, I uploaded & then it worked straightaway.
Thanks , worked it out now...apply for visa waver and not the match ticket visa and it went through instantly, got it on email.

Yep. Hopefully some game time for haaland for him to get his shizz back, maybe some warm weather for KDB.
Im not saying we will be back all guns blazing because i think personnel is an issue too but cant see the down side of this trip.

Plus, all the mard arses calling it a mickey mouse cup, fucking try hards is all you are, cracking on youre too cool for skool. Well only the continental champions are invited and thats us!
Also, the club want this trophy . I know this for a fact. They want to be world champs and all the prestige and commercial advantage it brings
 
As we'll get upto £4M approx if we win it, that's why we're going for it - plus I'm sure all the players will be on personal bonuses for another trophy. Great marketing tool for the club if we win it, and presumably it attracts further money from our sponsors.
I'm glad we're in it and feel that it could be the welcome distraction that kick-starts our season.

It seemed the same attitude from loads about the Supercup in Athens, I was as happy when we lifted that as I was when we won the FA cup vs Stoke, the ones that went made it a brilliant night, hopefully the same in Saudi, I want to win it so much, if we win this alongside the Supercup this season, I am over the moon, I would genuinely settle for that after last season. Anything else a bonus
