UAE X kept up with the Christmas cheer

This morning on UAE X: Twitter remains in a festive spirit, with #Christmas, #HappyHolidays, #SeasonsGreetings, and #Merry Xmas trending.

Merry Xmas to all, except Mo Salah: #صلاح (Salah) was also trending after Egyptian football star and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s annual Christmas post offended a number of users. Some opposed the fact that the star posted in support of Palestinians in Gaza, while others took issue with the fact that Salah hasn’t explicitly condemned Israel, and that his post alludes to Christmas celebrations.

Sports talk: Emiratis also were also talking about Sunday’s Al Wasl vs Shabab Al-Ahli football match with #الوصل (Al Wasl) and used #Poch to call for the exit of Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.
