    I’ve talked about Brentford’s approach and how wildly successful it’s been for them. Just watched this which is a really good summary of what they’ve been doing.

    Looks like West Ham are in the process of selling a large stake to a Czech billionaire. Exciting times for them. The buggers.

    It’s a billionaire owner or you’re mid table. That’s going to be the league now. I’m okay with being a bystander to that and snatching 12th representing a good year. Some won’t be.

    Us next though, yeah?

    SiK, you're in Kuwait - You must come across the occasional multi-billionaire oil sheik, wondering what else they could do, to amuse themselves. Why not suggest that Southampton FC is an obvious place to invest their hard-earned dosh? Just make sure that they come to the correct south coast port...

    I thought that, a little late

    So they won’t be able to reverse the decision but they may be able to stop similar purchases going through. Interesting. Can you imagine a situation where Saudi own Newcastle but a similar rogue nation can’t buy wet spam?

    Mind you putin owns Chelsea so Saudi isn’t that many steps away in terms of human rights violations

    Czech Republic is less ‘rogue’ than this country of ours.

    Amnesty International UK’s chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, said: “Whether or not this is the harbinger of a future Saudi-backed Golf Super League, it’s yet another example of Saudi Arabia spraying its money around in an attempt to sportswash its appalling human rights record.

    59 mins in, and Arsenal are still winning 2-0.

    Aaron Ramsdale is an incredible keeper, Arsenal would be relegation material without him.

    Yes, if we ignore Aubameyang, Saka, Tierney, Smith-Rowe, Odegaard.

    Smith-Rowe is doing Ok this season but defensively they’re awful.

    Only the two goals, but this is one of the games of the season so far. Could easily be 3-3.

    City 0-2 at home to Palace and Liverpool throw away a 2-0 lead to draw with Brighton. Good weekend for Chelsea.

    MU quite lucky that Spurs are as clueless as they are.
