Klopp and Guardiola are certainly bigger than their players, and they will move a player on if need. They are the elite, granted.

Fair point about the culture, but it must be from the players/people there before Ten Hag....Rashford, Martial etc. Rashord steals a living at that club, but is talked about like he is a world class player. However, Ten Hag was brought in to turn it around, and it is failing miserably Varane, Martinez, Casemiro, Antony, Hoilung, Mount, Onana.....all not performing for various reasons and brought in by this manager, along with Sancho. All well and good Gary neville and the like blaming the Glazers, but they have spent a fucking fortune with this manager (and those before him). However, god knows who they would replace him with. Potter would not go down well at all, De Zerbi..? I doubt doing very well at Brighton (like Potter) is the level Man United want (or think they can get).

Tan Hagg gets off very lightly, given the state of Man United (again)

3 games are in South America, and the others are in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, which is pretty close and much better than the next world cup

He looks like someone who wants a ceasefire and who you can negotiate with... https://www.ynetnews.com/article/r1y31101m6

May I be so bold and offer a recommendation to aid the understanding of the political tension in the region? There is a fine film called "You dont mess with the Zohan"....explains a lot. You are welcome!

rights to do what with?

Rights to do what? Stop the world playing? we are free to leave FIFA at any point. We are free to not participate in the 2034 World Cup. Like Gary Linekar was free to not take the Qatari Shilling. as said, the next World Cup seems to be fine, despite its own ridiculousness.

How long should a ceasefire last, in your opinion?

You’re a vegan then.

Australia also pulled out from hosting the commonwealth games.

Why is this too far, and not the next World Cup? Canada - unsure of their footballing heritage. How strong is the Canadian league? mexico - almost a mafia state that supplies the west with unlimited class A drugs USA - racist country no? They have to defund the police, millions of guns on the streets and still execute people but Saudi Arabia is just too far?

But Australia have pulled out of a bid, after pulling out of hosting the Commonwealth Games.

Thankfully, we have conducted checks on the countless number of people we have accepted from that mental part of the world. oh

Excellent. More diversity in the game the better

They'll get out of any significant sanctions, with much mitigation at play

And dont get started on the serious hate crime of making a cartoon picture of the great prophet. That will end your life as you know it..

In the meantime, the country that is called Israel ain't going anwhere...so what next?

Not really, But the reality is, conflict is fucking brutal anda miles away what we all hoped it would be. My personal view is that this war will take relation backward by a matter of decades. But the reality is, it is brutal, Israel do not give a toss what anyone thinks (other than the USA), and we are no better when we throw our hat into the conflict-mix...which is probably why other nations ignore what we say when we call for restraint etc.

That is war mate and conflict mate. At least Israel haven't set the entire strip alight, as trust me, the high standards we have, it would have been done in about 48 hours if the US and UK delivered some democracy to the area. The only option for Israel, is no war. They are going in and going in hard. Sadly, many people not involved will be wiped out. Israel answer to no one, bar the USA (who are proving the umbrella for this to take place). On a separate note, watching our politicians use international situations as a political hot potato is quite funny, Starmer is about to make a public statement calling for a "something" (not a ceasefire). Like Israel give a toss what the leader of the opposition in the UK think s(or even know who he is).

No idea. But war is not precise. There is a reason why we incinerate everything in sight when we go in. We / I have no idea where Hamas are? if their bunkers are in/around schools and such like, then that is what a country like Israel will do. We do it, they do it. Despite what we all tell ourselves, war and conflict is f-ing brutal.

Halloween, but the below is pretty accurate.

It is an attack on Hamas, who have embedded themselves into Gaza'n society

Not very well....which all of the football world, who watched the game/incident, suggest
