    It had nothing to do with the Saudis. You're just too proud to admit you were wrong.

    Not sure the heat will be a huge issue in November and December ... Will be in the upper 20's lower 30's. From what i've heard the prices of hotels are ridiculous as is the price of a pint. I know from Abu Dhabi flights to Doha have gone from less than £100 to about £1500 for during tournament time. Thieving pricks. As for Qatar, not sure what Gray is talking about, I go regular for work and its a s hit hole

    Shame our national side don't have a conscience.

    Watford call off friendly against Qatar amid supporters' concerns - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61951124

    Watford have cancelled a friendly against the Qatar national side after complaints from supporters' groups concerned about human rights.

    When the fixture was first announced, the Proud Hornets and Women of Watford FC groups said they were "disappointed" by the decision.

    Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar and there are strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

    Gray is fully converted since his all expenses paid trip for talksport a few months ago. They're all the same these pundits, outrage until the free and paid trip comes along hiding under "there's nothing we can do about it". As for England, I can see us winning the world cup no one wants.

    They make me sick.

    Always have the appropriate little badge on their lapels 'supporting' the latest cause

    Hypocrites.

    The only pundit I have respect for is Colin Murray when he left talksport because of the new owners. I have no issue at all with ex players making a career after the game, bills to pay etc. What I do take issue with is stuff he is posting like he has. Go and do your job, get paid, enjoy everything that comes with a golden opportunity for a lad from Castletown, no issues at all, but keep out of the politics you clearly don't grasp.
