The flight plan says yes and the lad who's giving me the info hasn't updated that info.

Having dealt with the mega-rich, with private planes, I know how easy it is for them to change times and dates.

The Oligarch I worked for was a nightmare and his lass was worse.

I once had to send the pilot back to Milan, from Nice, because she'd left her slippers and wanted them.

That really warms my heart, in today's throw away society it's nice to see people making their belongings last.

Imagine if she just went and bought a new pair, the co2 footprint to make a new pair she didnt need.

This isn’t a bite or a criticism and I’ve taken most of what you have posted with a pinch of salt but in all honesty I have to question your motives and/or your age. Sunderland (much like Newcastle) have a lot of exiles. Whether we are generally more tolerant of our nearest and dearest rivals (in equal measure) is always debatable. My brother who I love dearly, is a staunch black and white. Born in Sunderland, raised in Kent. He loves a bit of banter and he takes a lot of grief from me his dad and his many red n white cousins.
He in a way like yourself sometimes tries any way possible to find an excuse to say Newcastle will always be bigger better than Sunderland, his knowledge of the game and history (for a good few clubs) goes a long way with us putting up with it. Like you he throws a few stats here and there. Sadly you don’t fall into the same category as you seem to have this belief that by Supporting Sunderland, we (geordies “, and Mackems if you want) ,are some sub human species just occupying space south of the tyne.
We (Sunderland) have our our own Cheb helmets, but I have to say you sir really wear the crown well.
I personally couldn’t give two shakes of a sheiks knob what Newcastle (the club) have or haven’t done it’s really somewhat irrelevant to me as a Sunderland fan. I love having a bit of craic with my Newcastle supporting mates (sensible people funnily enough and don’t smell quite so strongly of gravy) but you seem intent on actions no like a 14 year old who thinks his life begins and ends about how good you are and how bad we are. It’s a sad life to lead if that’s what’s most important to you.
You’re lot have some good intelligent fans but in all honesty cannot see what this constant ‘my dads bigger than your dad’ mentality is going to achieve other than just make you look, as I said earlier, a bit of a womble. Seriously if you ever lived life outside of a football bubble you’d find there were a lot more sad c**** in the world than a bunch of Sunderland fans who may (or may not) eventually get a little bit of comfort and actual success in supporting a team that ‘will be forever in your shadow’. If ever we were to achieve anything like City, or even Leicester, I’d pat my mag brother on the back and simply say ‘hard lines’. Oh and maybe just maybe IF we actually won something (I reiterate WON) something of note, I may, just maybe, I’d spend a moment or two to gloat a little

I think like a lot of mags, younger ones 35 and under, they're desperate to believe they're a massive club. Alas, at 35 even the win v barcelona was when they were about 13 and its been largely downhill since then. The one thing they cling to is that "at least we're bigger than Sunderland". That's probably true although not by half as much as they like to believe (look at any other English rivalry; arsenal v spurs, United v city; Liverpool v Everton; Villa v Birmingham etc the perceived bigger club has pretty much always won more league titles, unlike this mob). They feel the need to rub their perceived superiority in constantly because it's the only thing that makes them genuinely feel like they're a big club. If we ever became genuinely successful it would actually destroy them and I think you'd see their attendances fall quite significantly, they'd have nothing left

Would someone be so kind as to let me know what Greedminds contributed to the thread today ?
Thanks.

Nothing as far as I'm aware (although it would be funny if Reiver turned out to be him Scooby-do style). Someone posted earlier that he's been talking about this take over and giving dates for a few weeks, which makes him ITK without actually posting anything. A first for this site I believe.

Good job you lot aren’t obsessed with us, I’d hate to see what you’d be like if you were. We really are your lives aren’t we.

Just remember what your previous record signing said, you aren’t a big club, the fans are deluded and all he wanted to do was retire after he realised what he’d done and signed for you. Looking forward to you continuing to try to big up Newcastle during the next few days, as you’ll probably crawl away once our glorious takeover is officially announced.

Owen was a bit of a wanker with them, he seemed like he didnt give a fuck and seemed to be happy to be injured and going to the races etc..

Which he has now more or less said. Cause its them its brilliant. I remember being gutted when they signed him, then pissing myself at how shite he was for them.
 
BBC Newcastle kept on referring to it as MSD Partners takeover....I thought this was not being done via their investment company, more a personal thing?

He was like. Like you say, funny because he was with them, but as a bloke he's a f***ing disgrace. The amount of money he was taking just to refuse to play, go to the horses etc, hardly any better than the likes of Rodwell
