    The Financial Times reporting on Saudi this morning and making no distinction between the country and the PIF that’s supposed to own NUFC. So what happened to those ‘legally binding assurances’ the Premier League tgey claimed to have?

    And the Mags have the nerve to complain about how corruption is ‘preventing’ them progressing <doh>

    “The Public Investment Fund, the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, has invested billions of dollars in several tourism mega-projects, including an entertainment district west of Riyadh and multiple luxury island resorts in the Red Sea.”

    Its almost like they were talking **** and it had been forced through for other reasons, almost like the countries PM at the time got involved? Who would have guessed.

    I often wonder why all the people so upset about the investment in the whole "reejun" that the premier league were blocking aren't arsed that it hasnt materialised?

    When they asked them for tax from liv golf, they said they were a state so didn’t have to pay it (something like that anyhow). And the premier league just said “yeah no problem, we’ve got our brown envelopes “

    Ironically there was serious trouble at Villa, Forest, Palace, etc with the police being attacked, fighting in the city centre, delays in games ...

    ... in fact almost everywhere but Marseille <laugh>

    That Geordie Josh must be a Sunderland fan. Doing a rather splendid stereotypical piss take of an impression of a Newcastle fan. Surely?

    See Sheera continues to exhibit prime spenk behaviour in his BBC column.

    Talking about the top of the league, cuts the table off at 5th despite us being on the same points as Brighton and only 2 behind Chelsea. Can't lower himself to mention us.

    Not rattled are we Anal?
