Being played tonight in Doha, Juve v Napoli. Word is Qatar payed â¬30m to host this game. Very surreal experience, just about to kick off. Sadly cannot report on quality of the pies as there aren't any but will go got a shwarma on the way home instead. Pirlo looking cool. I'm in the Juve end with the Arab Turnisti Ultras. Forza Juve!
Shows you how important the competition is to the average Italian fan. Would there be much of a fuss if we sold the Charity Shield? Have a good evening Wubba. I hope you have access to a Christmas cheeseboard over there. And a snifter of port of course.
Just back home. Good match actually, both sides taking it seriously which surprised me tbh. Standout players Pogba & Buffon Stan re : cheeseboard. Can confirm a chevre, roquefort, pont l'eveque, gorgonzola & a vintage cheddar already lurking in fridge. Tomorrow we hunt down a runny brie from Carrefour. I also managed to get one of the last bottles of Taylors LBV but alas brandy butter by dint of containing brandy has eluded me
