Less of the ‘all’. I’ve never slagged any trophies off and always wished we’d play in them one day.Nice to be in it, but if we weren't we'd all be slagging it off.
It will also impact the Carabao Cup QF if we're still in at that point, and I would imagine the Crystal Palace league game which is pencilled in on the 16th Dec. Potentially be able to reschedule a CCQF to the free week before the Semi Final 1st leg at the beginning of January.Brentford home game on 23rd December postponed for this bag of shite.
One of the following for us in the semi-final (our first match).
Followed by a final against a Brazilian team in all possibility.
- Al-Ittihad (Saudi Arabian)
- Auckland City (New Zealand)
- Leon (Mexico)
- Al Ahly (Egypt)
- Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan)
I was surprised Palace postponement wasn't announced at same time as BrentfordIt will also impact the Carabao Cup QF if we're still in at that point, and I would imagine the Crystal Palace league game which is pencilled in on the 16th Dec.

The semi finals of the World Club Cup will presumably take place either Monday and Tuesday, or both on Tuesday. I would imagine that means we cannot play Palace on the Sunday, and ideally wouldn't play on the Saturday either given the travel time. We could feasibly play Friday night but we have a champions league game the week before so would have to get UEFA to ensure the final group stage game is on the Tuesday.
I wouldn't be overly surprised if they postponed the Palace game too, to make it easier.
I've took a punt on the Palace game being moved a couple of weeks ago & booked a week in the Canaries I too expected it to be announced as postponed.I was surprised Palace postponement wasn't announced at same time as Brentford
Growing up, I always felt the FIFA World Club Championship was a huge game when it was simply between the European champions and the South American champions and always seemed to be played in Tokyo. I remember even watching a recording of Liverpool v Independiente in 1984 - back in the days when I didn't hate Liverpool like I do today! - after my dad videoed it on our first VHS player as the match was played during the night and he'd gotten up in the early hours to go to work.Less of the ‘all’. I’ve never slagged any trophies off and always wished we’d play in them one day.
Trophy belittling is a very weird thing, reserved for the biggest bitters who can’t handle that clubs we don’t like have played in them in the past.
You can if you get invited to a consulate or embassy. They are the only places that you can legally drink there. We used to get invited to the US Consulate in Jeddah occasionally (well I was in a band who used to play there too) and we drank those nights away. The only problem was getting home as the plod there knew what went on and were somethimes waiting to catch someone all pissed up leaving the place...so I usually decided to kip on a bench there for the night and head home in the morning...;)I think you can in the Embassy (no, it’s not a club or hotel; the actual National embassy).
That's a pisser. Enjoy a home game the Saturday before Christmas more than a home game on Boxing DayBrentford home game on 23rd December postponed for this bag of shite.

I don't see why we cant play the Palace game on the 16th, the semi is most likely to be on the 19th, 3 days after the Palace game.I was surprised Palace postponement wasn't announced at same time as Brentford
They are always deserving of a slapHow can they 'more than deserve' ?
The deserve fuck all the odious bastards !!
Good point I didn't think of that.It was cost at least £10k to see seven games if we are bounced around.
Could be 8 flights and a month's accommodation for a kick off.
Think with a lot of these things they're really downplayed until the weeks before and then the excitement and anticipation goes up, so yes I agree with you there.The 32-team Club World Cup in the USA will be fantastic. The first proper World Cup for clubs and I am sure it will become a very important trophy as the years go forward. Well worth winning and an amazing trip. I think Sheikh Mansour has invested in it hasn't he? I seem to remember it was mentioned a few years ago.
Nearest, cheapest, and quickest are three different questions.This is probably a stupid question but how far away is the nearest city in a different country where you can get a booze?

I love a pint, but there is no viable option in my opinion that justifies the expense and effort it would take to go somewhere else just for a pint.
Have you been listening to Jordan Henderson?Was looking at going to Saudi but the more I looked at it the more I thought why am I bothering.
Their government and religious leaders dont seem to like anyone and I would feel like a second class citizen as a christian.
Just my opinion.
Not so,we will be made welcome if we are respectful, just don't expect Dubai.Was looking at going to Saudi but the more I looked at it the more I thought why am I bothering.

Base yourself in Sharm el Sheikh, which is what im thinking. Cheap flights, cheap booze and cheap digs.Yeah it’s probably not realistic but I was just wondering about the logistics of basing yourself in Qatar for a week or so and popping over for the games.
