Bloody hell those cup names get to sound worse and worse, Papa Johns and Carabao. Bloody traditional names for gods sake

Everything to do with the World Cup being in Qatar is a nonsense.
Was hoping the Championship may have carried on regardless.

I won't be watching a single minute of that corrupt croc of shite.

Same here, mate

I've not been a 'fan' of international football (and the FAW) since Alun Evans tried (and largely succeeded) to ruin Welsh football at many levels in order to build a 'Kingdom'

What FIFA have done with their selection of Qatar as the venue smacks is so obvious and so against 'modern thinking' that it beggars belief

He who offers the biggest back hander gets it, the war time home of the Taliban...FCK QATAR

Premier League wanted a Winter break, I don't suppose this is what they had in mind !!!

Some players knackered some out injured!!!

It could affect us if Wales get there, with a lot of our players missing out on the rest?

No worse than the Milk Cup or Rumberlows Cup of the 80s and 90s
