Event or non-event

He can make that money back easily. Just invite you and his other mates round to watch the games with an entrance fee of a case of beer and keep what's left when you leave.
Similar to having a party/barbie in Australia. The norm for blokes is to take a slab (24 cans) to dump in the eski (ice bin) and whatever meat you want to eat. The host provides the bread/rolls, salads etc. So as the host you get left with a few weeks supply of tinnies afterwards. Over the course of a year of going to each others' barbies it works out about even. Very civilised. But don't forget the 4-pack of Babycham for the girls!

If Schopenhauer was any good as a philosopher he would have been in the Monty Python Philosophers Song. He didn't make the grade though so his musings are invalid.

I don't really understand how supporting the national team makes a fan any more of a miserable fool than supporing his or her local team. It's all the same thing really, just depends where you draw the boundary. We hate Forest, Scotland hate England, what's the difference?

The awarding of the World Cup to Qatar is scandalous and I haven't paid it much heed up to now. Plus, Southgate is utterly useless so it's hard to get up any enthusiasm about our prospects. It's a dismal old squad that he has picked.

But it's the World Cup. We don't get many in our lives and each one has left its mark on me for different reasons. I was alive in 1966 but I have no memory of it. If we could win one in my lifetime and I could celebrate it with my children it would be one of the greatest moments of my life. So once it starts I will be all in.

Buit we will be a damp squib, as per. Southgate out.

I might cut my fingernails to try and get into the spirit of it? A hand seems too much.

No enthusiasm for the Qatar World Cup, so much so I don't even know when the first match is kicking off.

I've been against Qatar's handling of this for several years due to the tragic events of numerous deaths building the stadiums , to the organisers in Qatar this probably was no more than just an inconvenience.

This event reeks of corruption. I know certain players have recently voiced their thoughts on the matter, but I'd have admired players for boycotting this World Cup.

Wrong time of year, but, it is cold, dark and damp outside so this will be something better to watch than I'm a D lister get me out of here.

£12 a pint, sounds a reason to boycott Qatar on its own. Prices like that make me cough, perhaps that's why it's called Qatar.

Whether you're looking forward to the World Cup or not.... its a fact that L1 will still be in full swing, unlike the PL and Championship... Cheers. Terry. UTR
