Will Kane be fit?

Think he will play but have no idea if that’s a good thing or not.
He is usually very sluggish returning from injury and Liverpool no doubt will be playing their usual high octane stuff.

I’d start him on the bench.

Hard to leave out Son and Moura, but yes…he should be on the bench.

Yep could go either way - start him on the bench or leave him in the bus?

Brighton have not wasted any time in parting ways with Chris Houghton.

ESPN is the worst.

Underwhelming Final.

How did everyones predictions turn out? Anyone able to gloat?

I predicted the Arsenal would finish 6th - and they finished 5th!

Can’t say I’m overly thrilled with that.

Picked that we wouldn’t win the title.

Not heaps I got the top 3 in order, mixed Arsenal and Chelskum up. I sort of got 1/3 right for the golden boot (Auba).

Bolter team I picked as Fulham and well that was not so good a prediction. Bolter player Keita, who I think was pretty quiet but started to come home pretty well.

Looks like Rashford will sign a new contract at Man Utd on £300K a week. You have got to be kidding, he’s nothing more than the Manc Milan Baros!

To be completely fair Rashford and Pogba did turn it on for about 10 games to get Ole the permanent job. Makes sense they would reward him with a big fat contract.

Man United look like signing Daniel James for Swansea?

Who is that?

Your new best player.

Newcastle United may have finally been sold. Apprently to the cousin of man city owner.

Been a NUFC supporter for 25 years so wary of headlines like this but seems legit. Rafa with some support behind him is exciting! Can’t wait to get of the fat ■■■■■■■ Ashley!

Sensational reports claim Newcastle United has been sold to Manchester City owner’s cousin

Newcastle United has reportedly been sold to a Dubai billionaire

Mike Ashley has agreed to sell Newcastle for £350million (A$652m) to the cousin of Manchester City’s Arab owner Sheikh Mansour.

The Sun reports contracts have been signed and submitted to the Premier League between Ashley and Dubai-based billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan.

He is a senior member of the Abu Dhabi royal family and last year failed in a £2billion takeover of Liverpool.

Mike Ashley has reportedly sold Newcastle United

Newcastle had been subject to previous but unsuccessful takeover attempts from the likes of Amanda Staveley and Peter Kenyon.

But Ashley has now decided to end his 12 years in control on Tyneside.

One of the Sheikh’s first jobs will be to tie down manager Rafa Benitez to a new contract.

He is ready to provide funds to bolster a limited squad that has done well to stay in the Premier League after years of underinvestment under Ashley.

Ashley first put the club up for sale in 2008 after Kevin Keegan walked away after a bust-up about transfers – which was the first of three times he tried to get rid of the club.

And the Newcastle owner missed the chance to potentially sell to Sheikh Mansour after refusing to meet him in 2008 before he took over at Manchester City.

It appears Ashley is not allowing lightning to strike twice now with his cousin’s group.

Shaikh Khaled, 61, is president of the UAE Sailing and Rowing Federation but has always had a keen interest in football and loves the Premier League.

Newcastle United celebrate scoring a goal

He is founder of the Bin Zayed Group - a leading group of businesses with diverse interests in the local and international markets.

The Bin Zayed Group’s key activities comprise four business fields: construction and energy, trading and industry, real estate, technology and financial services.

Newcastle fans are desperate for success – having not won a major trophy since the Fairs Cup in 1969.

Ashley has had a toxic relationship with the fans – and angered them not just with his lack of funds for new signings but renaming St James’ Park, the Sports Direct Stadium, after his sportswear company.

Massive if true. I can see Newcastle really jumping up the table in the next 4-5 years with the right investment. Would also prevent Rafa from leaving.
