    And the UK and USA - both full security council members - have a long history of arming Saudi Arabia.

    Are you as upset with them as you are with the Saudis?


    UN: Saudi is prob the worst of them.

    Regarding UK and the US - they just like TF when the Saudi teams wan’t HQ as venue for their Super Cup - really should say ”no”, and they can afford it, but they don’t. Sad. Prob using ”the whole world is bent”, ”money talks” and ”if not us someone else....” as excuses for their own behavior.

          Really. What a stupid thing to say. I again go back to my point that perhaps we shouldn't sign players from the middle east or China, Russia, Yossi Benayoun as he's Israeli, Germany for their past, Roy Wegerle as he's obviously a bad American human and while were at it no British as we sell arms to everyone. TF and the other owners aren't political activists they are businessmen. If any "football team" ask to play at our stadium we should let them.

              You can not compare the Super Cup with fighter plane sales. As you know very well. Tickets are unlikely to be quite so lethal.

              I understand you don't like the regime, and I get why. But you do have to be consistent, and believe me there are plenty of other contenders for the nastiest regime title.

                  It´s the same mechanism - really should say ”no”, and they can afford it, but they don’t.

                    No, more as an alternative to small talk.

                        Quite like swede, good poster. I used to follow him on the old official QPR board many many years ago and talks allot of sense
                        I played sunday league football today.

                        Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

                        I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

                        We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                          Let's keep this thread at the top. It will take a consistent effort from all.

                            Ah, I see. As an alternative to rohypnol?

                              Remember, this thread is not about you and your ”experiences” with farm animals.

                                I like him too. Good debate all round here with both sides making well reasoned points. It's even better when people just stick to the arguments too without it getting personal.
