I enjoyed the Jamie Vardy piece the other day. He's gone from WKD to being a keen gardener and is a proper Maths whizz - he kept answering questions with Maths banter He's one goal away from 100 in the PL, which is remarkable for his journey.

Mahrez saved the week, phew. Already activated Free Hit but there's too many good options to take advantage of Man Utd, Spurs, Liverpool, Everton and Wolves' class fixtures.

I'd take a few of the Norwich guys, especially Buendia and Aarons. McGinn from Villa.

2020 has been a weird year but Joelinton has just won it.

Momentum building

This Bench Boost has gone awfully, like. Barely risen so far thanks to bad luck with my players and the incredible frequency that other players deliver when you don't want it (Ings, Fernandes, Doherty, Henderson etc). Still, 10 players from the final 4 games. Hopes are pinned on Aguero ©, Mahrez and Grealish.

Draw for Watford was slightly annoying but yeah, some help tonight would be nice. Then again, we win once and that should be it.

The Cadbury gorilla can finally get another gig.

Has to be blend with the seat colours apparently, so think it'll be something like Frasers he'll put in. Get some Flannels on there too

I said yes by next week. Surprised at all the no votes. Then again, this forum....

Yeah, excited for Chelsea next season. Shame it's Chelsea.

That is unbelievable, like.

'Following the Report as explained above, it is still this author’s opinion – again, and it must be emphasised, based upon what is known in the earlier article – that the ODT would not prevent KSA PIF from being a Director. The Report does not inculpate the KSA PIF for beoutQ’s piracy.'

Bench Boost this week - it'll hurt to be without Salah but there wasn't a good way to get him, De Bruyne, Aguero and Aubameyang in. Nyland - Leno Alexander Arnold - Lundstram - Egan - Lascelles - A Smith De Bruyne - Mahrez - Grealish - Sarr - D Luiz Aguero © - Aubameyang - Jimenez

Know nothing about Mauriss and that's the worry. Just have to pray this isn't because they've heard something about a Saudi rejection.

Wow, that sounds alright

So what's good news here? The report not mentioning NUFC or PIF?

True. Those involved in the deal have known about this for weeks and Caulkin says the buyers responded to another round of PL questions last week. So the dialogue has continued between both sides since the report.

But the takeover isn't by KSA, it's PIF

He was Delaney before Delaney could even walk.

I just can't picture it being approved anymore. It's Newcastle United, things are destined to go badly.

"The UK government supports Saudi Arabia’s continued diversification efforts under its Vision 2030 strategy Saudi Arabia’s investments through its PIF form part of these efforts. The PIF invests in many sectors internationally, with their potential stake in the ownership of Newcastle United FC part of this wider investment.” Seems positive to me

The confidence from the buyers is starting to look like blind faith. I used to put value in their opinion but they're clearly saying what they want to think - something optimistic to keep spirits high.

3 years in League One, man. Incredible. And things could get worse for them.
