Sorry to hear that mate. If you ever find yourselves coming over to WA for a holiday then you’re very welcome to come and stay with us for a few days. The beer, wine and JD in my house won’t drink itself.
It’s been a weird Christmas usually Sunderland ruins it, hope everyone has had the best Christmas the could in these **** times
I’ve lived in Australia since November 2007. Apart from the first Christmas which was a bit of a novelty, I’ve never quite got used to celebrating Christmas in hot weather. I do honestly yearn for the Christmases I had as a young lad in Sunderland and Durham.
if i got paid the same to live back in the North East I'd be back home in a heart beat. I still call it home, ffs
Good article taken from LEquipe. Haway me Bonny Lads SportFootballSunderland AFC 'You can't buy this!': Kyril Louis-Dreyfus reveals why 'special' Sunderland made him reverse his decision to quit football Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has offered further insight into his deal to purchase a majority stake in Sunderland - having previously turned his back on football. By Mark Donnelly Saturday, 26th December 2020, 11:34 am The 23-year-old has agreed a deal with Stewart Donald to purchase his majority shareholding in the club and, subject to EFL approval, will become chairman of the club in the New Year. The Louis-Dreyfus family have previously been involved in football with French side Marseille, but sold the majority of their stake on the Ligue 1 outfit to American Frank McCourt in 2016. At that point, Kyril - who was a fervent supporter of Marseille during his family’s involvement with the club - decided to turn his back on the ‘rotten business’ of football. please log in to view this image Hibernian 1 v 3 Hearts 0:00 1:28 Hibernian 1 v 3 Hearts please log in to view this image Kyril Louis-Dreyfus reveals why 'special' Sunderland made him reverse his decision to quit football But in an interview with L’Equipe, he has now opened up on why the ‘special project’ presented to him at Sunderland has caused him to perform a major u-turn. “Following the sale of OM, I stuck to one idea: we don't do anything in football anymore, it's a rotten business,” explained Louis-Dreyfus. “But Sunderland, this is a special project, really. The potential is in England. “At OM, we didn't have the Vélodrome, which was causing us a lot of problems; Sunderland owns its stadium, with the country's seventh capacity. “The fervor of the people is reminiscent of that of Marseille. In D3, before the health crisis, there were more spectators on average than in half of the Premier League clubs. You can't buy this! “In cities like Zurich, Monaco, nobody is interested in football, it limits the possibilities of expansion.”
Thats very kind of you, I hope I get back over there again at some stage, hope you are having a great xmas
Mind, I'm watching the Leicester v Man it's match on NBC SN with a nice crisp glass of sauvingnon blanc and I could murder one of those Baconator things from Wendy's that's just been on in the ad break. No wonder they are all fat ****ers over there
Certainly has been a strange Christmas but today like every Boxing Day I always think how different things could have been if Clough hadn't been injured on Boxing Day 1962.
