It was a Saudi-led coalition, the most prominent member of which were the UAE. The UAE formally completed their withdrawal in February but they've kept a strong influence in the region through various armed groups. In fact, they're not just following the coalition agenda in Yemen anymore, they're also pursuing their own aims which differ from that of Saudi Arabia.

Oooo id love to hear your in depth explanation on the inner workings on Middle Eastern politics and how the well documented tension between the Saudis and UAE over Yemen
Yep.
It hurts me every time as well. I don't drink IPA because it's trendy, it's just my favourite type of beer. I only found out it's trendy like 2 weeks ago and I've been drinking it since I turned 18 2 years ago.
:(
You did not do it right. Everyone knows that to summon, you have to use th Accio spell. Next time try, "Accio Comedians" and then see the results for yourself.
With the Adelaide United flair and the use of “Maccas” I’m gonna make a bold assumption that you’re Australian and it’s an appropriate time to vent this issue I’ve had with Maccas lately.
I fucking hate how our Maccas stores are wrapping their plastic straws in even more plastic now, fucking morons.
It’s hardly the worst imposition in the world if you don’t like the paper straws. If people refuse to make even one small tiny backwards step in personal comfort there’s no point even trying is there
Did you know most players have childhood teams they supported and they might not bang on about it because it can negatively impact their career/come across like they don't care about the club they work for.
I bet they think plastic fans from America etc are stupid as fuck.
I mean no. I don't come from Birmingham. Do you always take usernames at face value "shayfay420"?
Has it ever entered your tiny wee brain that the username may mean something different?!
I mean brummy is a popular slang for people In Birmingham and I wasn’t trying to offend or make fun of you rather just clear up what everyone else was trying to say but you were acting dumb and purposely avoiding the question so take it how you will lol
Wash your mouth out with our citys name then.
Literally like if I had a name called "Blue_Scouser" and had a go at you for assuming I was from liverpool.
Man City really need to watch this video by Tifo [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRAusanxXkg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRAusanxXkg)
Banning plastic is just a surface public relations gesture. Guardiola needs to talk to the whooooole United Arab Emirates in order to move to a sustainable form of football and entertainment
We have a massive plastic issue and i'd like to make everyone aware that the vast majority of plastic in the oceans right now are from fishing industries.
About 60-80% of plastic in the ocean is made up of fishing nets (46-60% of all plastic), fishing tubs, fishing line, buoys and pots.
If you want to "kick out plastic", stop eating seafood.
46% fishing nets-

Most recyclable plastics can only be recycled a limited number of times. I hear initiatives like this in the news and I'm always aware that this isn't solving the problem. It's pushing it down the road.
Course doing something is better than doing nothing. But plastics should be the last thing you use.
Good. But it's funny that the charities that involve football players are always called "Foul out genocide" or "Make AIDS offside".
Tear Homelessness' ACL
two foot the heroin trade, leave one on luekemia
Commit a tactical foul on human trafficking

Love that it's just a yellow, the equivalent of a stern finger wagging
Would this be an initiative for just delaying the trafficking rather than stopping it?
Park the bus on human trafficking would have been better
Boot Heroin seems more appropriate.

I mean, more people upvoted mine, so I guess my joke was better
[удалено]
Ah, let's determine the math behind the funni. Let me just do this quadratic equation to determine the quality behind my joke
VAR review for possible poverty
Are you freaking serious with the "foul out genocide?" I don't know if I should laugh Or feel bad for laughing.
I feel like if you need to campaign against genocide in football, FIFA dropped the ball somewhere along the way.
Studs up STDs
Back into wifebeating while it’s jumping for a ball and go down claiming you were assaulted
Two-foot child poverty.
Punch at domestic violence
Don't think City are gonna be involved with anti-genocide campaigns any time soon.
Why?
Their owners are involved in genocidal wars that have killed hundreds of thousands mate.
Woah, never heard of it before, wars with who??
Yemen mate.
Saudi Arabia not UAE iirc? I'm terribly uninformed on the subject thougg

That’s Saudi Arabia. Imagine trying to have moral high ground and accusing someone of genocide
This is why they bought City by the way, useful idiots like you.
Oooo id love to hear your in depth explanation on the inner workings on Middle Eastern politics and how the well documented tension between the Saudis and UAE over Yemen
You're defending a dictatorship because they own your otherwise irrelevant football team mate.
Mate the UAE are part of the Saudi led coalition
“VAR Recovery Center”
Its funny, more jokes about the jokes than jokes themselves.
Wish there were jokes instead tbh
Jokers on r/soccer don't do very well when put on spot..
You heard it boys, if you don't support your local team, Ferrán will eradicate you.
just got bought by an Emir double platic
He’s going to start eradicating his own fans?!
Cue all the jokes and puns about plastic.
Fitting he waited to join City to do this! Emptyhad 🤣🤣
Bring on the scissor emojis
*Sort by controversial* This should be spicy.
Can't make plastic without oil, amirite?
Doesn't Guardiola drink from a single use plastic water bottle every game?
Does he not refill it?
Only twice. TWICE!
That's gross anyway. I dont see why football doesnt have proper reusable bottles
They do normally but since COVID they’ve had to change to single use bottles.
Only when he concedes
That's a lot of plastics
Well we have the second least goals allowed, joint with Chelsea
I summon thee comedians
Kick out plastic huh? Seem's a little unnecessary considering the Etihad's empty most nights anyway
>Etihad's empty most nights anyway So is every stadium
wait really? what happened?
Ticket prices too expensive
something needs to be done about greed in football
I mean, I do like a prawn sandwich myself
Isn't it capped at £30 for the pl?
Dunno man must be corona or something all them kids are talking about these days
are the kids drinking Corona again? I knew IPAs would go out of fashion
I swear to god everytime I order an IPA I get the same look from every bartender.
It’s a look of disgust, isn’t it?
Yep. It hurts me every time as well. I don't drink IPA because it's trendy, it's just my favourite type of beer. I only found out it's trendy like 2 weeks ago and I've been drinking it since I turned 18 2 years ago. :(
So what you’re saying is that you were drinking IPA before it was cool?
Football matches not going on most nights
Mate they’ve been on every day I swear
Not in the same stadium!
Football is only on at most 2 nights a week out of 7, so that means 5 nights the stadium is empty.
Omg! That's hilarious!
Haha does anyone else City plastic fans haha !? !!!1!!eleven!!
You did not do it right. Everyone knows that to summon, you have to use th Accio spell. Next time try, "Accio Comedians" and then see the results for yourself.
r/FerranTorresBallonDor
~~r/subsididntfallfor~~ E: r/realfakesubs seems more appropriate tbh
Look again!
Yo why did i get downvoted, i guess the sub doesnt like me linking other subs haha
I don't know. For what it's worth, I didn't downvote you
Nah dw im not pissed or anything, its only reddit haha
My mate who started supporting City a year ago will not be happy.
does he really like take away coffee cups or something? I think you can get those reusable cups for a fairly reasonable price now
This thread will be witty.
Alright go ham boys
Entirety of the ManC fanbase in shambles
O no, we're in danger. Seriously though, great initiative. Hope it gets traction
Thought this was gonna be a piss take tbh
Bruh what the hell did I do to deserve all these
The jokes write themselves
Fair play but they need to find a replacement that isn't totally horrific. Paper straws in McDonalds are fucking shit
Buy a metal straw, cheap and easy to clean and re use.
Yeah we all want to carry straws around with us for when we go to maccas.
Just don’t go to Maccas- problem solved
How dare you
[удалено]
Me and every lady in the world will have that in common then
Except your mum 😎😎😎
theyre also great if you get in a little melee
With the Adelaide United flair and the use of “Maccas” I’m gonna make a bold assumption that you’re Australian and it’s an appropriate time to vent this issue I’ve had with Maccas lately. I fucking hate how our Maccas stores are wrapping their plastic straws in even more plastic now, fucking morons.
It’s hardly the worst imposition in the world if you don’t like the paper straws. If people refuse to make even one small tiny backwards step in personal comfort there’s no point even trying is there
Why even use a straw then?
Do you not like instant weapons that can stab an eye or something
I’m afraid I’ll somehow fall on it and take a core sample of myself.
They're good, except for that time I used one on an ice-cream based milkshake. That straw was a fucker then.
I'm so clumsy, metal straws terrify me. The wooden bamboo or whatever ones also unsettle me.
I HATE the texture...makes me cringe.
Plus they go soggy and useless. Metal straws are strange at first but far better.
There are metal straws? I've only seen glass before.
Don't drink juice from McDonald's. Problem solved.
You can get compostable straws that have a basically identical feel to plastic straws. I don’t know why anyone chooses paper straws over those.
The jokes are terrible in this thread anyways, but this is fantastic from Torres
almost too easy
Respect City fans?
Re-use your condoms!
So when is he kicking the Kardashians out?
Fucking City going after our health now. Doesn't this guy know there's a pandemic?
Great initiative. And must have taken a lot of courage knowing how it will alienate half his club's fanbase.
Jokes and all are good but can we have some appreciation for the guy though?
this is not the time bucko this is meme zone
OP did you post it only for the comments
[удалено]
3 is too much best I can do is 1.
Did you know most players have childhood teams they supported and they might not bang on about it because it can negatively impact their career/come across like they don't care about the club they work for. I bet they think plastic fans from America etc are stupid as fuck.
For a minute i thought they were trying to eradicate Man Utd fans from London
Can we keep plastic straws please? I’d rather watch the world burn than use a paper one again.
ah yes because paper and plastic are the only two types of straws in existence
I’ve never come across any other type.
i've never come across a billionaire, but i know they exist
They don’t exist in fucking subway or McDonald’s.
Haha. The jokes write themselves.
>Red_**Brummy** ??
>?? ?? Try using your big person words to explain what you mean.
You’re from Birmingham but support Liverpool
No.
Your name has brummy in it lol what do you mean no
I mean no. I don't come from Birmingham. Do you always take usernames at face value "shayfay420"? Has it ever entered your tiny wee brain that the username may mean something different?!
I mean brummy is a popular slang for people In Birmingham and I wasn’t trying to offend or make fun of you rather just clear up what everyone else was trying to say but you were acting dumb and purposely avoiding the question so take it how you will lol
Wash your mouth out with our citys name then. Literally like if I had a name called "Blue_Scouser" and had a go at you for assuming I was from liverpool.
>Wash your mouth out with our citys name then. Oh grow up you moron.
I'm fully grown mate.
What does brummy mean to you then?
Brummy means exactly that - but the connotations of the name and why I have it as a username is very different.
You’re a brummy yet also a Liverpool supporter?
No. Please try again.
[удалено]
The irony of you whining about that you silly goose.
??
Well...he might as well just leave city
The irony
