    I posted this on the AntePost thread...


    Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal were all 2000/1 to be relegated...

    Now, Man City's odds have plummeted massively to only 20/1, the same odds as Brighton.

    Are the investigations beginning to happen?

    Bloody hell mate, hope you're well on the way to making a full recovery. That must have been bloody frightening.

    Thoughts with you Chunk.

    no idea where it went in, scared to ask as sometimes they have to in through the groin, i was in there for two weeks although i thought i was well enough to come home after a couple of days (must have been the meds) so the doctor had to remind me that i was very lucky...all i know is i collapsed and woke up in hospital and still cannot really imagine just how bad i was although i guess dying 3 or 4 times should tell me.

    you take care marra, you may also develop a change in outlook in many things.

    There should be support groups that could maybe meet somewhere local . Like a pub ?

    Just been down a canny rabbit hole, there. According to Wikipedia, Lily the Pink by The Scaffold had backing vocals done at Abbey Road Studios by names including Graham Nash (of The Hollies), Elton John (then Reg Dwight), and Tim Rice; while Jack Bruce (of Cream) played the bass guitar.

    This took me to Tim Rice's page and looking to see how he came to supporting the Lads. "Despite having no familial or personal ties to the club, Rice has been a fan of Sunderland AFC since his early childhood." Which took me to this:

    https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-relegation-fight---celebrity-9169247

    May 2015, Tim Rice discussing attending the upcoming game with Southampton:

    For legendary lyricist Sir Tim Rice it was a case of any win will do when he turned up for his favourite team Sunderland’s home game with Southampton today.

    With a laugh he predicted a ‘9-0’ victory for the Black Cats to properly avenge their 8-0 thumping earlier this season by the south coast side.

    However Sir Tim added: “A win will do. We need it and I’m hoping we get it."....

    Sir Tim, now 70, revealed how as an eight-year-old living in Hertfordshire he made the unlikely choice of Sunderland as his favourite team.

    “All my class mates were choosing Luton, Arsenal, Tottenham - even Wolves who were first division champions back then - but I wanted to have my own team.

    “I saw the name Sunderland and thought it sounded exotic. Like it had tropical beaches."

    The reality was different of course but it did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm for the team he has watched at two FA Cup finals - in 1973 and 1992.

    He’s still a regular at games and does a lot of work with the club’s charity arm, the Foundation of Light.

    I don't understand their constitution Chunk so I'm not sure what the crack is. He will appeal this decision so it will go on a bit longer

    I have no idea but even in a country as mental as America they would allow a convicted felon to stand as president
