This automatic assumption that the Saudis buying the club, and the appointment of Howe, was directly responsible for them reaching Wembley is absolutely ludicrous. Sunderland played in the FA Cup final in 1992 as a second division team managed by a bloke from the ticket office. To be fair we did have the world renowned Brian Atkinson, Warren Hawke and David Rush. Sometimes you reach the final just because of the way the cards fall.
" Every Aspect?" Oh dear me. Look, a nation state getting to a cup final after spending around £250m on players in little over a year, and God knows what on wages, is the minimum that might be expected. You no longer have a proper club, and now cannot ever have it back. Believe me, vanishingly few people are obsessed with Saudi Arabia's latest image cleansing bauble, but as always, the source of laughter is never ending.

Nah, just a nice red tie with a white shirt, grey suit. Dawnie was in a smart tight fitting red suit, black blouse.
How the **** have they worked that out? Won't generate that much for the football club never mind the area. A few thousand extra fans stay the night, have a drink and a meal in the area that's it!
She wasn't "live" in the studio, did the part Michael Bridges does now with Jeff, but it must have been recorded earlier as she wasn't on at the start or end.
