What do we think of this? I’m not sure he needed to wear something that cost half a million quid to make a point. It seems a bit tone deaf when the week before they were meeting with migrant workers who were earning less than a pound an hour to build the stadiums they are playing in.
Wonder how many migrants it took to create the watch

Hi everyone,

I’ve only just joined this so happy to find other people who love football and gossip. Not read the previous threads or posts so sorry if any of this has already been discussed but I’ve just been dying to speak about this with people and my friends don’t like football.

1. Jack Grealish
My ex has a friend who helped him move to Manchester (the city not the club) and they said he was nice but I can’t work out what to think of him. His videos with fans especially the ones with disabilities are so sweet and the way he actually remembered Finlay in such a crazy moment. But how nice can a guy who constantly cheats and was rude about Almiron on camera really be? Or do you guys think the cheating rumours are fake?

2. WAGs
They mostly seem like massive clout chasers to me esp Sasha, Fran and Megan, I don’t know why but they really give off that vibe. Kennedy seems sweet but not really seen much from her.
Also I find it strange none of them have posted since being in Qatar compared to how much they spammed our feeds at the Euros?
Do you think they’re basically doing it to make a statement.. not that anyone cares what they do 😭😭
Grealish and Maguires sisters have been posting so idk why the WAGs haven’t?

3. Qatar controversy
Anyone else find it a bit suspicious how blown up the politics have been this World Cup?
I feel for the players who seem like they’re being pressured/manipulated into making big gestures that our politicians who are being paid to be political won’t even do..
The Russia world cup didn’t draw nearly as much bad press and no players or FAs got involved with politics when Russia is just as anti LGBT as Qatar. and they had just annexed Ukraine and were bombing Syria. I swear I can remember Lineker saying we shouldn’t mix politics and football, Alex Scott and Rio took a picture with Putin…
The royals especially King Charles basically have the Qataris on speed dial they’re so close, he could’ve made a call about the arm bands or made a public statement at least. But they’ve stayed silent, will continue to do big deals with the Qataris yet relying on our players who are as young as 19 to speak up about human rights.

It just seems so weird to me I feel like theres something bigger going on. No-one made a fuss when Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea, PSG were bought by people who are against LGBT so I don’t see how Qatar is any different or why we shouldn’t go there like Dubai.

Mohammed Ali went to prison for being against the Vietnam war, Ozil was alienated from the Germany team for speaking out against racism (funny how the German team are now talking about being silenced considering how they treated him). Yet our team backed out over a yellow card when they accept a yellow all the time by taking off their tops. That’s what makes me think they’re being told to do it.

4. Neymar
The man is so beautiful. That’s all.
I do think Jack is a bit of a dick at times but I think the whole Almiron thing has really been blown out of proportion. It was a drunken joke comment and although it was a little bit rude I really don’t think it was that deep. I like seeing all the jokes/banter about it but some people take it too far and believe he was actually being malicious which I don’t think he was 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nah you would be ILL if you were a wales player/fan right now 😭 Well deserved for Iran, they could make it out of the group if England win tonight and they draw vs USA!

Danny Ward only needed to keep a clean sheet for like 13/14 mins? 😭
He’s been fairly solid for Leicester recently, no? But there was no saving that first one and looked like Rodon was out of position for the second. Gutted for the Welsh but hope they enjoy the memories.

To be fair I’ve not seen the goals, the only context I have is him being subbed on then them going 2-0 down! Mad to think Iran might now be 2nd team to make it out of the group assuming England do the job.

A bit 🤣 ok but you’ve got to wonder why other professional footballers, don’t make comments like that in public though, because they have some sense. Got to disagree a few jokes about it coming back on him isn’t too far. It’s a bit of banter, he can’t have it all his way.

Has it been discussed that Conor Gallagher’s girlfriend isn’t in Qatar because she’s lost her passport? 🤣🤣

I just said I enjoyed seeing the banter/jokes about it, and I also don’t think Jack’s arsed in the slightest and probably just laughs about it. I’m just bored of seeing people act like it’s the worst thing that’s ever been said 😭 Fans these days wouldn’t have lasted a day before the whole social media era, the things being said were a LOT worse than joking about a players form 🤣

Wait is that really why? I was wondering why she wasn’t posting the same view pic from the boat that every other wag has 50 times 🤣

I know but there’s lots worse out there, like fans sending death threats to players, referees, all the homophobia as we’ve seen in this thread.

That’s my whole point! Some people are more focused on a stupid comment made by Jack yet completely ignore the racist, homophobic hate etc. It’s madness, I saw this tweet yesterday and my eyes actually hurt from rolling them so far to the back of my head 🙄 Fair enough they aren’t actually being racist but it’s like they can’t stand to see black players being praised.
