My mood has been up and down like a tap dancers wig throughout this, but after reading this latest report I'm really struggling to give anything in the way of a single fuck.

Apparently Buzzkill Luke has been in Talksport spouting his own unique brand of takeover pessimism

Is that scar on his chest from heart surgery? Looks like he's close to a heart attack.

 

Burn mark from tarmacing.

Oof!

Right on fucking cue

Talking in past tense about the PL test, saying that the sale will happen - beautiful! 

100% it’s happening tomorrow. Gonna be a great day for a takeover.

 

Agreed, definitely tomorrow.

 

Next week now.

 

Lunchtime today. Perfect time to quickly nip to the shops and grab some beers & bbq food.

 

 

Even if it doesn’t happen I’m pretending it is and celebrating. 

Definitely.  Just listened to this week's Pod On The Tyne and it was a good listen, but not once did they discuss the current takeover.  They did discuss McKeag and Hall, but there was nothing really mentioned by Caulkin in relation to the current situation.  I'm going to get carried away and take that as a positive sign 

But going to have beer and a barbecue later though, regardless.

what the hell is football insider

It's The Dentist.

No, sorry, he's Football Incisor.

 

I don't understand how Caulkin can tolerate Twitter. Absolute melts.

Neither do I.  Think in one of his podcasts he was asked about how he copes with people badgering him and he said that he'd turned his notifications off.  He probably doesn't read the majority of it.

Wish I could switch off

So do I, at the age of 45 I thought I'd be beyond all of this emotional and obsessive shite, but this has completely consumed my life for the past month.  It's all I think about for around 95% of the day and it's completely spannered my sleep pattern. I try to think it through methodically, and when I do I always come to the conclusion that it has to be given the green light, but the not knowing coupled with the fear that it could be knocked back is just torture.

It reads like one of those joke customer support accounts on Twitter.

The only way that this isn't going to happen is if the consortium pull the plug, the PL will be desperate to find a way of getting this through and the delay will be more about them making sure that they can exonerate themselves once they've passed it.

Tweets been removed not sure if legit or not.

For those who missed it was  the St James park sign being pressure washed with the caption "by royal appointment".

Apparently photo is a few years old, which is probably why they've pulled it.

Sundays will be out in a few hours, if there's nowt negative reported in them then I think that's an assurance that we're home and hosed.

 

More positivity from George.

 

Fuck sake. Caulkin even manages to make me tolerate this cans nonsense. He's too good.

Couldn't get away with the whole cans thing either, but I suppose it's probably best to embrace it as it'll be a big part of how this is remembered 

More positivity from George.

Rehills is one of the things I've missed most whilst being housebound.

 

We've hardly been out for the entire lockdown so it doesn't feel appropriate to drive down there from the coast just to get my paws on some artisan beers, but their selection is magnificent and I really miss browsing it.

Absolutely! Like you, it's not exactly on my doorstep but it's well worth the drive.  Due to the lockdown I'm slumming it with 6 bottles of brown in the fridge for when the announcement breaks.

Few of my favourites bought from Rehills in preparation, this better be announced soon as they are already calling me from the fridge.

 

what did you get?

 

I’ve driven past that shop, god knows how many times and I’ve never been in. Is it good? Everyone seems to rave about it.

If you like craft beer/real ale then it's pretty unrivalled in the local area, my favourite place for beer by far.  They do amazing fresh onion bhajis as well, like mini footballs.

This caulkin quote, has anyone on twitter pulled him up on it?

 

No, I think it just breezed through without much fanfare.

What quote?

 

 

Just the one off earlier today which was getting a bit attention on here, where he's basically said it 'will' go through.

Yeah, it received quite a bit of attention and he hasn't backtracked on it.

Probably reading too much in to this, but the main headline on the club page has changed to a link to the NHS Coronavirus guidance.  Possibly aimed at the numpties who may head up to SJP when it's announced.

Talking about on Talksport this morning, looks like opposition to the takeover is growing

 

I'm surprised Adrian Durham hasn't said the Saudis should be investing the money into the NHS instead.

 

I think read somewhere that they will be making a sizeable donation when the deal is announced. Clever really, as even Amnesty can’t shit on the gesture given what’s going on.

 

"Healthwashing"

Bed bathing

 

I feel like Saudi investment cuts will still represent more of an investment than certain other owners I could name

This.  Even spending the money that the club generates and not taking four weeks to complete a transfer would be massive improvement.

Lip service for BeIN/Qatar. "We looked into it, but we couldn't knock it back."
