I have wrestled with this for some time, much like eating meat and have reached no conclusion. I love meat but could not step into a slaughterhouse. The suffering would be too. much. Thus it is with our dalliance with Saudi Arabia. It is my fervent hope that their exposure to western values will alter their imperatives and that they achieve a more humane society. O believe the crown Prince has begun such a programme but you can tell me Im wrong about that. I must remain sanguine until I reach some compromise. In the meantime, I am reminded that we have sold them Tornado's, Typhoons, F35's and other weapons designed to kill. If the British government is comfortable with that, Im not going to knock myself out worrying over the club I love. Someone earlier said our board has Jews and Arabs working together. Is a start.

Truly disgusting and entirely predictable.

At last, some of us might be able to tell our grandchildren we were around when we won something.

I supported them when Pancho Ankles Bennett got clattered after returning from a long injury. WHAM scum.

Don’t shoot me but from another place, Staveley holding conference at her hotel at around 4 PM. Press apparently swarming around there. No I don’t know which one.

Now, in the North East, there is a reported Tea Towel shortage.

Sky Sports say deal is yet to be ratified by Premier League and nothing happens until they get their fingers out.

Next manager will not be a "Hollywood pick". Its going to need someone who knows he's in the fight of his life. Someone short term methinks.

Whatever happens, it’s comforting to know we’ve confounded and thwarted these rats once again.

Sky Sports now saying could be done within the next 24 hours.

Sky Sports suggesting this could be done within the next 24 hours. Make of that what you will.

And shat on.

Well it was fun while it lasted....

They'd probably shit on the seats.

If its pointed out to them it'll boil their piss. Champion.

He's found his level.

We've gone from Harrods to Aldi.

Don't sugar coat it man.

All Bein sports channels off. ?

Another place reports that FORBES reports its a done deal? Thats all Ive got.

Maybe its armed with Mavericks to take out the Stadium of Light?

Rafa won't break a contract but activating a Buy out clause is a different kettle of fish.

I have a semi.

League Two officially ended. The Fewm is going to be overwhelming..

I went to RAF Cosford Air Show last year and as such found my trick hip playing me up. Two Mackems looked after me, carried my heavy bag and stayed with me throughout the show. Then they helped me back to the bus. Two of the soundest blokes you could wish to meet and of the generation where they had dual season tickets for the Toon and Sunderland. They wished us well and hoped Sunderland would get out of the pit of despair. It seems like its only RTG that made them embarrased to be Mackems.
