The fact that the PL refused to give a time scale which was the final straw is deliberate cowardice.

I've seen rationalisations where theres a christ on every planet in their own form - just as batshit as anything else.

I still don't see how they bought those rights with the assumption they could sell packages in ksa without the Saudi's say so and without their right to ban them which they've now seemingly done. Surely that's up to the Saudis as there's no EU type cross country organisation.

If that's correct and they don't like the "structure" that suggests to me they don't like the prospect of a large influx of money and I reckon as I said before it's pressure from the "big" clubs.

I can't see people who were desperate to get on the first plane out being willing to self-isolate.

I watched a good documentary about him on Sky Arts a few years ago and after showing how fucked he was by acid it was good to see a reasonably happy old man at the end who could still play guitar like a good'un. RIP.

I've fixed a dripping tap if that helps.

I read something early on which suggested other clubs has objected - presumably the "rich" ones like Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool who don't like the idea of a bigger sugar daddies than theirs being allowed in. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was a factor given the influence of these clubs in the past.

All the best Ant

They also laid out his blatant lies regarding its publication.

You can see why Johnson wanted Grayling on this committee - these fuckers are tearing him a new arsehole big time.

Abramson reckons he'll deploy them in the run up to and on election day in order to intimidate people who aren't his fuckwit base and discourage them from voting - might not work but it'll be what he's thinking.

Why do you ignore the 80m spent on players last summer - an amount about 10 times anything spent after promotion under Benitez? Just because Joelinton is shit and they were "thrust upon him" it doesn't negate the point.

Commentators whinging about a game being shit to watch that they deliberately moved to fucking show.

Can't believe all you four eyes haven't had them lasered yet - I think I've recommended it a few times. Okay might not be the best time to have minor surgery but still....

It's the idea of a message board populated by mackems where more than one can raise ten million quid that gets me. Not saying there are no successful or well off people from Sunderland of course but still...

I went to B&Q this morning (with mask) and they were handing out free masks at the door as an informal condition of entry. Most people took them off and pocketed them within a few yards of the entrance. I really wish the virus was exclusive to cunts.

To add to crossing their fingers and hoping it all goes away they're going to stop publishing the daily deaths - the buffoon is now just so far up Trump's arse it's actually amusing.

Seems strange to take a Russians are cunts approach when the report is presumably going to say the tory party takes a fortune in donations from them.

Does BEIN's rights cover Saudi Arabia though? If it doesn't then this would be the same as France getting upset with people watching British Sky there. Allowing piracy is one thing but why should they tolerate them if they don't have those rights.

She was Arnie's girlfriend in Twins - I think that her most memorable.

No, you're right, it was that relegation fight year - I think he equalled it and it was 7 games. The record was later broken by Sir Les in 95.

I'm actually quite saddened by Charlton's death though I understand he's had dementia for a while so sometimes it's a bit of good thing if they go. I hated him when he was our manager, I'm honest enough to say and was glad he left. Then a few years later I say him speak at my mate's cricket club dinner and he mentioned that despite playing his entire club career for Leeds, there was only one club team he would get out of his seat for when they scored and that was us. I think the contrast with his "Mister Man United" brother was what made the comment for me.

I've left the house properly for the first time since the 4th of March and travelled into London to spend the weekend with my lass. The train was fine at this time of day as I'd planned but I walked from Liverpool Street to Barbican which stressed the fuck out of me due to the proportion of non-distancing cunts. Hotels are a bit of a fuck on but they seem to have it sussed generally - I might see how the restaurant experience is later.

Two kids who'll come on for a traumatic debut at 6-0 down.
