I see that Saudi Arabia is jumping into bed with Russia and China and joining BRICS. along with Iran. Nice one Saudi’s.

Football will go the way of golf with the fuckmental amounts of Saudi money involved.
What we need is a clever secret service with the smarts to chop the Saudis in half.
Sadly, if the secret service is anything like UK universities, it will never do this, as it is a high risk policy with no guarantee of success, and with competing projects successfully underway, such as the training of illegal migrants as informant liaison, sorry I forget the rest, but it's great, then well. You are kidding me, right?

With what they have bought they will never challenge the top clubs. I agree with those that have stated their main aim is to help the clubs they own in Europe either to offload over paid has-beens or weaken their opposition. Players who have gone there are no longer footballers, they are (extremely) highly paid "help".

Interesting and insightful report on the Saudi football strategy on the latest Guardian Football Podcast.
Obviously it shouldn't happen, they're not part of Europe (and don't qualify for the WC against European opposition etc) - but bribe enough people in FIFA and nothing's impossible.
Some fake sponsorship deals and lawyers to argue that spending is now in line, plus the extra spend at the start was to catch up with centuries of oppression (or some such BS), plus a new villa for the investigators, and all is good.

I see that last week's match in the Saudi Pro-league (1st Sept) between Al-Riyadh and Al-Okhdood was attended by a massive crowd of just 133.
Funny but also really sad that these clowns are to a small degree turning football into a TV only sport.

What a surprise!
Neymar 'very unhappy' out in Saudi – and 'asks for manager to be sacked' already
Brazilian forward Neymar only joined Al-Hilal from PSG a few weeks ago but his stint there has already taken a turn for the worse following a reported falling out with manager Jorge Jesus

What a surprise!

As long as hw makes the England squad no harm done.
Of course. England need someone with experience of playing against lower league cloggers for when we come against minnows like Gibraltar or Kiribati. Smart move by Hendo and Gareth.
Exactly. Henderson is a ****ing twat.
He supposedly support LGBT rights, so of all the places in the world where he wants to help grow football, he chooses somewhere that does not and will not be having any LGBT rights.
He's a shallow, money grabbing lying twat.

Is that right, he's the highest-paid player in football? I'm sure I saw a table with him at the top the other day...

I see a whopping 212 fans have turned up for today's match between Al-Wheda and Al-Taawoun.
Taawoun also have a Joao Pedro as there main man up front too!
Shoreham get bigger crowds!
