Pep worried about Saudi Arabia

Nope. Games last 90 minutes. At 3am I was watching Arsenal. Doesn't mean I started at 3am.

Just read the BBC article and to be fair, I don't think Pep criticised or complained that the Saudi's are distorting the market in any way. He looks to just be suggesting that they are new players in the market with financial clout, and its something to be aware of.

At 3am it was either 8.30 pm or 9.30 pm in England, so you either missed most the first half or missed nearly the entire game.

It is definitely factually correct that you "watched" a game at 3am, you were not watching a game at 3am. According to yourself.

So the game lasted half hour? Interesting.

I watched both Arsenal v City and City v Bayern Munich in Cyprus which were 10 pm kick offs, local time.

Great atmosphere watching them in a bar, the difference was that there were top teams involved, not teams made up of unrecognisable locals with a sprinkling of Europeans who were past their peak.

The factory was in Goa, headquarters in Mumbai. Nice beaches in Goa, and was actually very quiet and chilled. Went to a church, that was 'interesting'. I didn't see much of Mumbai.

Cool, you went to a EU country and watched European football at a reasonable time.

The point is there is a geographical point where watching football isn't a gross inconvienience.

I've watched games in Thailand that kicked off at 2:30am local time which was a complete pain in the arris.
