It's like the Qatar World cup. Some people living in financial cuckoo land Officials saying it's fine - Fans will base themselves around the Gulf and fly in for games.

They don't have to keep the titles. If they want to step back they can become Prince Harry & Megan Windsor. - might hurt the marketing a bit.

Nope would be Harry. Don't give Megan ideas!!!

Used to be like the charity shield - league winners vs. Cup winners but 2 legs h&a. Now 4 teams involved given a bye into last 32 of the copa dél rey. Had to get special dispensation to allow women to attend.

Piece in the papers that none of the clubs involved had sold more than a 1000 tickets to their own supporters. few Spanish there are expats from the Gulf region.

Had missed this. Spanish super cup being held mid-season in Saudi Arabia. Slippery slope of football prostitution continues.

You'll still be paying for their security. That'll probably cost a bit. Plus they'll have all the wackos from her family turning up with film crews to cash in. Thought they were supposed to be moving to Africa (Botswana maybe)? Not enough publicity there for her?

More like lead round by his bollocks :)

Need a sweepstake on what products they endorse first. Saw they'd copyrighted/trademarked a load of names a while back. Hired their own commercial team. Time for Charles to admit Hewitt's the father on the Jerry Springer show and give them some US TV air time to kick off the new business

Also Iranian missile attacks on US targets on Iraqi soil undermines the Iraqi position with a large part of their population. They've allowed iranian-backed militia to attack US assets prior to Suleinai assassination and now a large missile attack (in proportion to number of missiles US used)...

Iran threatens Israel every week. Dubai a close ally of Saudi plus strong links with West. So a geopolitical threat from Iran. Unlikely to bomb due to large expat population (Inc Iranians) which could draw other countries into any conflict. Iranian threats to unleash Hezbollah and other Shia...

The overt threat could be over. Iran's control of its domestic media & Internet censorship means it can claim honour served with the "death" of 80 Americans. Iran knows it can't fight an overt war with the US and its leadership is aware of the potential consequences of engaging in a war with...

Stupid idea. Teams already struggle with over rates. Lose a session to weather or light and game is pretty much dead.

Thought they'd blown it at tea. Pretty decent all round team performance.

But if this assassination increases Iranian influence in Iraq it could just have moved Iranian missiles that much closer to Israel. Soleimeni was a terrorist in a uniform but was openly killing him on foreign soil a wise move? Time will tell. certainly the growth of Iranian-backed militias...

I'd just assume the French were behind it :)

So evicted at the end of Jan:)

McCarthy to the Cowboys. Which version turns up? Could be a problem for Elliot as never had much of a run game for most of his Packers tenure.

Needed that late wicket. Need early ones tomorrow or could waste Sibley's ton.

Think the kids in the middle order showed a lot of promise. Yates has the temperament to open but maybe too soon to move him up. What we will be is ridiculously over-staffed in the quicker bowling dept (surely can't have a repeat of the 2019 injury nonsense)
