The Club World Cup

[reddishblue]

Apparently we are playing a team from Casablanca (Morocco) (or however it's spelt) called Wydad AC on the 18th June. Humphrey Bogart was a big fan.

Incidentally, I've been asked Wydad far too many times to recollect.

[gavin]

Yeh, the first couple of games are not very inspiring at all. Then Juve in a match that should really just decide who wins the group and who goes through as runners up.

[Stephen Paul]

no interest at all 

[Vickki]

No interest either 👍

[Swiss]

Wheres the down vote button for the dad jokes?

If we win it, can we claim it as a trophy 😄

[gavin]

It is just below the Thomas Cook Trophy if we don't win it. If we do win it then we are World Champions again.

June 18 Man City V Wydad
June 23 Man City V Al Ain
June 26 Man City V Juventus

[Stephen Paul]

Wydad and Al Ain are pub teams FFS

[gavin]

I expect that they would do fairly well in the Buxton Taverners League to be fair

[Swiss]

Supposedly able to watch free on DAZN

[gavin]

I wonder what Jack has done. He always seemed to be a blue eyed boy for Pep. Now he is out unceremoniously.

[KunDB]

I think mutual agreement was reached that now was the time for Jack to search for a new challenge. How mutual I'm not that sure. Either way he's leaving, Pep has a cutting edge side and it is very sharp.

[Stephen Paul]

Jack apparently looking at Liverpool

[Swiss]

I always thought Jack would be better as a cm than a wgr
