What a load of absolute bollocks. Be better doing fuck all rather than clamouring for a pat on the back.

Yep, absolute shite. Might even be worse than Harry Kane's armband.
Tasty af so great tribute to the worthless slaves.
I thought Hummel made paint so I guess this is working as intended.
I like that Qatar's defence of themselves is that they only killed 37 people, not hundreds.

Adidas, how could you?
Hold back the tears, @Don Sardar Azmoun out for 4-6 weeks.

Initially down as 6-8 had me in tears but latest update is 4-5 weeks so MON. Just need Taremi to stay fit. An injury there and I'll carry out a terrorist attack.
Not World Cup related, but the Asian 2023 cup hosting has been won by... Qatar.
Which means 3 on the spin all hosted in the Middle-east, 2019 in UAE, 2023 in Qatar and 2027 in Saudi.
Bahrain 2031 for a full house of oil butchers.
I wouldn't mind if they were well attended or decent events, but they aren't. Half-empty stadiums, shit atmosphere and just generally crap. I went to the opening game of UAE 2019 and it was worse than League 2 Crewe game. That and the UAE being a soulless desert.
I went over too and it was without doubt one of the most shittest experiences of my life. I really missed the boat with the Aussie one.
Fuck off Saudi in 2027 and give it to South East Asia. Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh (and their fancy new stadium). Jobs a good 'un.

Anyone else collecting the stickers?
I'm a twit
Nobody over 13, no.
I’m hoping to do swaps on behalf of a 5 year old so cool story broOriginally Posted by Spikey M

Of course you are. You definitely haven't posted about collolecting them previously and taken a Covid Test just to go buy Pokemon Cards either.
I did it in 2014, but only filled about 70% and gave up. I've got the free album, but doubt I'll bother. When my son's a bit older I'll definitely get involved again.
Fixed
I think they worked out that you need to spend something like 1800 quid to fill the most recent one.
I completed the 2014 one and still have it in the drawer beside my bed for story time.
But no, not this time.
That price is wrong, it's almost always around £500 with a max of £1000.
Although no one who completes it will ever spend that much as they'll swap and you can always buy the exact ones you need on the official website.
My plan at the time was to buy the last few off Ebay, but never got round to it. I looked a few years later and the costs were sky high.
I had two complete sets of those Euro 96 coins from Sainsbury's but god knows where they are now.
Those were amazing.I had two complete sets of those Euro 96 coins from Sainsbury's but god knows where they are now.
I'm sure the coins were World Cup 98. I've got them still, including a few unopened packets.
Ah, that's right. Euro 96 was those terrible holograms I got out of packets of Frosties.
This is how I discovered that now apparently “rookie” stickers are a thing. Got a whole lot of my “swaps” from 2014 that I might actually check and shove on eBay soon, now you’ve reminded me.
I did that with the last euros. I'm sure I spent around £400.
According to author and football finance expert Kieran Maguire, there are 670 stickers to collect for this year's album, which, assuming were all bought on the first go, would cost £120.60.
However, Mr Maguire explained that based on probability, it is more likely to set fans back £883.80.

I’ve spent £94 and reckon I can swap to complete it.

Calls for Taz's boys to be chucked out over these drones.
They'd be replaced by the UAE, so be careful what you wish for.
You can also order the singles you need for like 20p from Panini.According to author and football finance expert Kieran Maguire, there are 670 stickers to collect for this year's album, which, assuming were all bought on the first go, would cost £120.60.

They've all lined up on the northern border ready to have a pop at Azerbaijan as well. That'll be interesting.Calls for Taz's boys to be chucked out over these drones.
Would absolutely love to get involved in some of these sporting sanctions. Giving a bye to USA on behalf of our supply of drones, not even use
Why is the Foreign Secretary being moaned at for suggesting that the gays wind it in in Qatar? What sort of travel advice is he meant to offer?
Exactly. If he told them to go wild then they’re being led down a road to bad times. It’s a shitter but it’s a country that’s not for changing at this stage.
Someone alerted me that England's first game is on a Monday (21st November) at 1pm. I'm supposed to be visiting an addiction recovery centre all day. Surely that'll get cancelled. Right?

Get the game on for the gamblers.
I’ve taken a leaf out of yevrahs book and taken the two weeks of the group stages off work.
Fuck it.
It's the way forward. I just need to find somewhere warm in the World to be watching it from now.
The 10am starts for the first week are going to be glorious. I'm going to get absolutely nothing done.
The world Cup being a month away feels wildly wrong. I've no idea how badly wrong things can realsitcally go (probably not very) but fingers crossed that they do. Wayward nuke or something wiping out the whole of fifa.
I’m still proud we’ve boycotted.
The gays kicking off because they can't rim eachother in the stadiums is great bants.
I've taken the 2 Iran early KO days off, the rest of the 10am days will be WFHs having done 5-day weeks in the office for 3 weeks to build up my bank. Should work out pretty sweetly, just need to find decent spots to watch the Iran games now. Mates proposed I follow them to boxpark which I lolled at, I'd detonate a backpack in there long before KO.
Anyone of this persuasion going anywhere near these states wants their head checking. Why go somewhere you are deemed illegal.
By all means oppose things but channel the opposition at FIFA not at the fucking country you're a guest in.
Indeed. The idea of influencing, let alone changing a regime, through fucking football is cute at best.
Shopping.
