I'm in need of some advice as I may have to divorce Mrs Mist after 41 years.
Sat on the loo this morning, as you do on a Thursday, I saw a bottle of hand-wash. In clear letters it had Ineos written on it. Ignoring the fact it forced me to go to the kitchen sink to wash my hands, how could she buy that ?
When confronted with Exhibit A she stated it was on offer therefore the cheapest and she didn't know what Ineos was or who scruffy Jim is. I informed her that ignorance is no defence, she is the chief shopper in our house and if it happened again she'd be out.
OK he hasn't taken over at the swamp yet but she is directly funding the bid.
I fear me mam was right.

You're such a forgiving person. She ought to thank her lucky stars that you haven't packed her bags already.

Maybe a trial period of her sleeping in a tent in the garden will be the short, sharp shock that she needs?

How many times did we hear commentators make excuses for him by saying “ forwards tackle “. Didn’t matter what position a player plays in if it was a bad tackle it was a bad tackle, I personally think he knew quite well what he was doing.

Of course he did. I hate the excuse made for him by rags and the media that he couldn’t tackle. Well he certainly knew how to foul, the dirty bastard

It's puzzling because no one seems to know exactly what this Ratcliffe bloke is bringing to the table. How and where he is going to improve things at that poisonous cesspit remain to be seen, but I can't see him doing much more than arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Futile.

They are desperately viewing him as some type of saviour who is going to rip the floor boards up at the swamp and get rid of a decade of decline. I’m puzzled how they believe that 25 percent shareholding gets you running the whole football operation and that he will open his wallet to fund a complete reconstruction of the ground. Do Silverlake’s execs come into the CFA and start telling Guardiola who to sign with their 10 percent ownership? I think not.

They are desperate for change, they wanted the Qatari sheikh who was used as a stooge by the Glazers to bring people like Radcliffe to the table to prop them up for another decade or so. It’s glorious stuff.

A little caution may be necessary. Ratcliffe is a smart operator and his influence is already at work: the CEO is going and Murtough who is one third of their cockamamie DOF set up is also forecast for the chop. We know that Brailsford is coming in. So Ratcliffe may be effective to the extent that he can overcome the toxic culture there. Wait and see.

This what happens when you marry below oneself.

Did the allegations of performance drug use of Brailsford Sky team ever get sorted out.
