They're owned by Sheikh Mansour, the lack of fans probably should have given it away.

Aren't they all?

Highlights of Henderson's debut, in a 1-0 win over Al Jazira. Ko is at around 23 minutes.

 

I hope he thinks it was worth it. Sad sad sad.

 

I get visions of that scene in Escape to Victory where the Germans score and they turn the applause volume up to simulate the crowd cheering.

 

What the fuck have you done Hendo.

All the intensity of a charity match, without any of the joy.

 

Even with a paid propagandist on every football forum in existence it's going to take a while before this soulless, sportswashing, reality TV is going to interest people enough to watch it.

I’m not sure what you call the 400 million + in the Middle East who are already very excited about it. Around here we call them people.

 

Oh and by the way, the pay levels for propagandists are much sweeter than the ones that were offered by the Qataris during the World Cup. Happy days!

[Barrington Womble]

Fuck him now. We know he's gone to play in a shit league for money. Let him deal with it. We can enjoy our biggest squad overhaul in years.

If he wins the Saudi League or Asian CL, I wonder where he’ll get his tattoo?

He won’t.

Al Ettifaq are the Saudi version of Aston Villa.

Will these covid restrictions never end?

[razor]

Does anyone know roughly how many people there are in the Middle East?

 

And if they do, does that include the people of Yemen, who I am sure would love to bus over to Saudi Arabia to take in a few games?

[Pidge]

Also includes about 80 million Turkish that are famously blasé about their own football league...

[Dave D]

Was that an actual league game?

No it doesn’t. With Turkey the total would be 480 million.

Many of them already do.

You can't be serious?

 

You're making out that all 400 million people, by dint of the fact they live "in the Middle East" will be drawn to this new charade because of the storied rivalries, wonderful atmosphere and A-list celebrity players.  Even people who are being brutalised by Saudi Arabia?

I never said “all 400 million”.

 

Al Ittihad fans in Hadramut region, Yemen:

 

 

Bonus info: 2 million Yemenis live in Saudi Arabia

 

You need to learn more about the Middle East …

I can see why JurgenKnows described it as a hot-bed of football passion. It echoed with febrile intensity.

At least Henderson didn't have to suffer people in the crowd shouting "pass it forward, you cunt!"
