The General Football Thread

Cant wait to get all hyped up and then be drawn at Norwich away again.

 

Or Everton away. New ground to visit.

 

Be better to get that in a later round though when we'd take more up there and the weather will be better.

Ideally I don't want a long northern trip either as then I'll likely have to choose between that and Boro.

 

Boro suits me, sir!

 

I really want to go to Boro and have already bought my ticket but say we get something like Accrington then I doubt I can afford both a week apart.

 

World cup draw in a few hours

Not sure if we find out venues today or not but hopefully we avoid Miami and Mexico.

Though in some ways we might be better playing in the worst conditions early on to acclimatise when there's no real risk we won't qualify.

 

And in typical US fashion, they've gone completely over the top. Supermodel Heidi Klum is co-hosting the draw. Hope someone asks her what the offside rule is TBH.

 

Think coverage starts at 5 so I'll tune in around 6 for the actual draw.

 

Yeah I'll be keeping an eye on the BBC live text page as I have no intention of watching Robbie Williams perform.

 

Trumps giving a speech before hand so maybe add a couple of hours to that eta...

 

Isn't Trump getting the FIFA peace award from his chum at this ?

Like giving Dr Shipman an elderly care prize at a SAGA convention.

 

If England play in San Francisco I might be lucky enough to get tickets.

 

By the way this World Cup draw is all time car crash tv.

Absolutely awful but I cant take my eyes away.

I expected nothing less tbh.

 

**** me! The World Cup draw love in on trump

 

This is more comic than I could ever have dared dream.

 

It’s hilarious

 

I turned it on just in time to see Robbie Williams singing with no sound.

Peace prize going to Trump. Who'd have predicted that lol.

 

I particularly enjoyed the parts where it said that he had advanced peace between Israel and Hamas, as well as Russia and Ukraine.

I actually think this is the peak FIFA moment I have ever seen.

 

Who was it on here the other week who said FIFA had cleaned their act up since Blatter went

 

Trump putting on his own medal for bringing about world peace, like it’s a children’s sports day
