Football

Everyone sad about Antonio. Was it classic footballer x fast car self inflicted incident? Or others involved?

According to reports, no other vehicles were involved. But, it was incredibly windy on the day of the accident, which may have been a factor.

Windy, wet, twisty road, hugely powerful car and trees is a bad combination at any time I guess.

Wonderful news...the 2034 Men's World Cup is going to Saudi Arabia.

What is this madness: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/c4g20g803evo

I suspect the Monaco fans will be good fun. Heard a bunch of them on their way up from kings cross earlier. The Emirates will likely be bumping as well, despite what the old men above say. Although if you're in corporate seats you'll be insulated from it.

Won’t be watching a single minute. Especially if it’s mid-season.

I tried that for Qatar and failed miserably!

I held out for a while but caved a few times, tbh. Also sounded like a cracking World Cup which was annoying.

Saka is great

Looks like this was demonstrated tonight.

Wheels totally off at City.

Clearly pep negotiated a “sack me” clause.

Tammy Abrahams.

Now there’s a name I’ve not heard for a bit.

Champions League new format is making it quite tasty. Plenty to play for (apart from the bottom 3).

I suspect the Monaco fans will be good fun.

Damn, they were loud for the whole 90 minutes despite being so far behind in the game.

Arsenal fans... not so loud.

Also.... found out the price of the corp box, £13.5K, and then a tip of £1K to the guy who waited on us. This is for a 10 person full hospitality at their highest tier.

It was a fun game, but sheesh... I don't think a corp box is worth it at all.

Normal price is around £4k which all things considered isn’t too bad. Resale tickets go for half that amount and you get zilch in return. At least you got some tepid food and a san pellegrino.

Normal price is around £4k

For a normal seat?! Not even close. Maybe at Fulham.

Hospitality package for 10 at the Emirates.

Buy a resale ticket and you’re looking at £100 plus fees and above.

£1k tip!? Not a bad nights work for my
Man.

But the things he had to do to earn it...

Small compensation for having to be around anything Arse imvho.

On the theme of decent gigs, I’m very envious of this guy’s idea: https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedseat

£1k tip!?

The box was paid for by a US business, and a C-level for that business was there... "Is 20% tip normal for this?" and the two Brits (myself and another)... "WTF? You can't leave a £2.6K tip that's ridiculous, just think of a fixed figure that is definitely not more than £1K".... "So, a £1K tip, done"... 🙃

Why not let them leave £2.6k? Doesn't sound like they would have missed it.
