This is nothing more than a general observation (so don't anyone go taking this as aimed at them personally please.)

 

But since the takeover happened this forum has been off its absolute fucking nut.

More generally our support has lost its collective mind. Some absolute dogshit takes on here, Twitter, pretty much anywhere you care to look.

Barcelona will play Boca Juniors in a one-off friendly to mark the one-year anniversary of Diego Maradona's death.

The two clubs will meet in the 'Maradona Cup' at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 14 December.

Maradona had two spells at Boca, where he ended his career in 1997, and took in a two-year spell at Barcelona before joining Napoli in 1984.

The 1986 World Cup winner died in November 2020 at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack.

Maradona won the Metropolitano title with Boca in 1981 before moving to Barcelona, where he won the Copa del Rey, Copa de la Liga and Supercopa de Espana.

He also won two Serie A titles with Napoli and led Argentina to their second World Cup at Mexico 35 years ago.

The news outlets have two choices 

 

1. A game to honour one of the greatest players ever playing our beautiful game.

 

2. Saudis support match for drug addict bad boy that brought shame on our beautiful game.

"I think Newcastle United are going to do really well now, there's no limit to what they might achieve. The last team that got backed by Saudi Arabia managed to pull off 9/11."
