I've only ever been to Turkey once, to a place called Kusadasi, would never go back, ever.

The one thing I do know, is that you are never more than about 500 yds from a mosque with tannoy's on the turrets, which isn't brilliant at 5am when they start chanting prayers.

Couldn't be Wembley anyway. The Championship Play Off Final is that day.
Villa Park is a joke. If they could get somewhere more viable than Turkey then what about Cardiff or Dublin or Paris or Glasgow.

Not because of the mosques on their own but they didn't help getting back from a night out at 3 am the being woken at 04:45/05:00 for an hour & then again about 07:00/08:00 for another hour.

That aside, I just didn't like their in your face approach, i had one maitre d' tried to fight because i didn't chose his restaurant to eat in. Also they blatantly try ripping you off at every corner.

I prefer Greece, they have touts for restaurants but if you say no thanks they leave you alone.

The uk establishment has and always will be pro EU, the establishment tried to block the democratic vote to leave the vile corrupt EU, even the speaker of the house, the BBC and ITV are openly pro remain and supported the so called people’s vote, best to get facts right if you are going to make anti democratic statements.
The way I see it is, there are logistical problems with two English clubs and fans travelling to a country that has Covid issues, these could be avoided by playing the game in a country with less Covid issues, Hungary would seem a good choice, didn’t we play Dortmund there?

The establishment goes beyond dicks like Reece Mogg ( what his fascism has got to do with it fuck knows) the establishment elite that actually run the country are fuck all to do with those embarrassing clowns at Westminster, the real establishment are the money men, the civil service the media, these are the power brokers that rule, and I think most people know this.
Personally have not voted for any of these charlatans since that corrupt cunt Major sold the country down the river over Maastricht treaty.

@Harry Dowd Scored

There is a very intellectual and revealing piece on Red Pepper about how vile an embodiment of the ruling establishment Reece Mogg is and has been for many years . It really is an eye opener !
I won’t post it here but it is easily accessible.
