5 bells for the final and out semi then, which was predicted earlier in the thread as around a normal time.

Is that local or UK time

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Should roughly get home in time for the semi from the canaries, otherwise it'll be delayed live via my super IPTV guy if Manny Airport/Motorways/TUI balls up my UK return.

 

[Corky]

6pm UK - I used UAE not Saudi by mistake.

An arm and a leg, surely?

They'll snap your hand off...

Al Ittihad = Sheffield United
Al Ahly = Watford
Urawa Reds = Cardiff City

Some years ago a relative of mine got a month in prison there for smuggling in some spirits in his luggage.
Them’s the rules.

I just find it sad but not a shock that their total disregard for us is front and centre all the time.

Yeah, Saudi Arabia isn’t ready for stag dos just yet.

Explained by the fact apparently Channel 4 got the tv rights.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Be great to win it alongside the Super Cup. Win the league cup in February and that's 6 trophies held at once.

Absolute fucking madness.

Considering I thought we'd win fuck all in February

Could of been 7 if we didn't lose against arsenal on penalties ;)

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Yeah, Saudi Arabia isn’t ready for stag dos just yet.

Oh they like them, it's just that they have them over here.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

The question is, can we be considered a great team until we win the World Club Championship?

I'm sure they'll insist we have to beat the champions of Vogon and fly them in on the first avialable intergalactic shuttle, and I bet the bastards play in red.

Let's not get to cocky ( I've seen all them teams beat us )

Give them a few years and it will be like Dubai

Yep, designated hedonist zones.
