    Never been to Milan but last visited Sunderland city centre in probably 1990. Guessing it hasn't changed since. <whistle>

    I couldn’t tell you mate, I don’t ever go either <laugh>

    Closest I get is Low Row very occasionally on a match day, obv the SOL and then my parents is Seaburn.

    There’s no reason whatsoever to go into Sunderland, sadly.

    Now here's a funny thing.

    I'm not sure if I posted it on here, or RTG, but I posted about Ashley sacking off Staveley in her previous attempt at a takeover. It was a very long post and spelled out, chapter and verse, that Ashley was ending the deal and why, I was quite pleased when it subsequently happened and said so.

    I've just been messaging the same legal fella during the Cup Final as he has an interest in Arsenal.

    He is still involved with the Sheikh, I worked for, who's an Arsenal fan.

    Out of the blue he got onto the Newcastle situation and dropped a few nuggets in. He says the 'deposit' was insisted on by Ashley but its not as much as reported. The American buyer isn't waiting in the wings with a £350 million cheque and Ashley knows that. Also Ashley kept moving the goalposts after the excusivity agreement was reached.

    The lad was bang on last time so I thought I'd post this and see what happens.

    I hate to think how the Bournemouth fans are kicking off after the promises made to them ...

    ...must be absolute carnage on the South Coast.

    The more I read about this thing and think of it, I'm beginning to genuinely think that most of that lot really are mental. I mean truly lacking in some important way.

    Okay, so they had what looked like an astonishing break come their way, ( though NOT for me, however bad we are, thank you very much indeed ), and now it may not be there. That's all. The club is still in the Premier League, still a well ran club which appears to be a model of financial stability and still a proper football club, which it would have ceased to be if this deal had went through, and will cease to be if it does.

    Now, if the Saudis take their lucre elsewhere, these mentalists - who appear to comprise an uncomfortable proportion of their support - will judge all future new owners against the Arabs who did not come. Much like they judged all managers against Keegan, and then later against St Rafa.

    If it does not happen, buy shares in window replacement firms, horse veterinary services and bed sheet manufacturers.

    They really are something else - I know a bloke who doesn't even like football but he looks out for their results he is over the moon whenever they get beat. I asked him why and he said he detests the way they go on as though they are something special and hates the way the local (and now the national) press feed that.

    I remember when Kegon left the second time I was watching an NHL program from Washington DC and there was an advert for a comedy program. The presenter explained that the head coach of noocastle had left and the fans were devastated then they showed an interview with a toothless bloke on the streets. Even the yanks were taking the p**s out of them <laugh>

    I'm sure it's just a mad coincidence that the TV cameras always pick out some absolute weirdo ...

    ... it makes you wonder how they manage to get through each day.

    They are spamming every premier league tweet with a #corruptpremierleague hashtag. I bet they get some decisions against them next season:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm
