This is the worst part. "Provoked" for being asked to do his job.

I hope the same though, put him on an individual training programme. Make him turn up every day but never called for games - essentially the Phil Jones experience.

 

This seems totally normal considering Budweiser sponsor the tournament

 

"We've held the World Cup in a country that doesn't allow beer by mistake"

 

Fuck it, get him in now.

 

Not gonna lie there is some humour in the fact FIFA clearly expected Qatar would roll over like every other host and the Qataris have just gone "no, these are our laws dictated by our prophet, you can't change them"

Not a lot of humour given everything else that's gone down, but still

 

Confirmed now too

 

Separate thread for the World Cup if you're interested

who could have ever seen this coming

 

Capitalism is about to pop off on that contract dispute haha

 

I thought Varane was going to make the second or third match of the group stage?

 

This is something that happens in all sports now, but people who support particular players and don’t actually have a club they follow are really incredibly strange and toxic people. The best thing about Ronaldo leaving is the fact that all of his Ronaldo FC weirdos can move on as well and not have to care about MUFC anymore.

 

Oh yeah they're a strange bunch. Managers too...the Mourinho accounts are mind-numbing.

 

God yeah Mourinho melts are the absolute worst

 

I've always assumed they were bots
