Clearly the strategists at Labour still think (or thought) they had a chance of picking up the non-voting disillusioned. And they can - but probably not this time out. This time is all going to be about Brexit no matter what Labour would prefer to talk about. And their only route to power is now to back Remaining (or the 2nd Ref at worst). Now is the time to kick the fuck out of the Tories for all they're worth. Farage, for all his support, can't rush in to save them and his standing should now diminish. Remain needs to be united and brutal.

Not saying you're wrong mate, you're odds on to be right in fact - but I dunno, at some point, one of these stories is going to be true, and I'd love it to be this one

Yeah that sounds very plausible. I mean they waited until right at the last minute to get him as well, which indicates it wasn't a comfortable decision. Maybe we'll see Adam Johnson return as they'll be desperate enough, I expect. I imagine he'd be content playing for buttons at this point. And let's be honest, it's certainly not beneath them.

It's another long grind ahead. Plus they'll have 3 newly relegated teams to deal with as rivals. Wastes their final season of parachute payments, now they'll have to get promoted and live very well within their means. I'm really glad it's not us tbh..

I mean he made a few other tweets and you've picked the most pessimistic one, but aye He also says the timing is right, that Ashley has been known to be in talks for some time with a number of potential buyers, and that he has a personal suspicion that between Debenhams and Rafa's contract being delayed, there might be some legs in this.

I don't think anything further has been said but yeah, I've certainly scaled back on it somewhat I mean you never know, but with this club, you kinda do know.

Aye, this. Just one trophy would make it all worthwhile.

I would agree with this but frankly, they're still better than Ashley. I would literally choose Satan over Ashley.

But didn't this come out from the Sheihk's side?

Good article that one. It's pissing me off to a fair degree that if Corbyn had backed a second fucking referendum, Labour would almost certainly have won this, beaten Brexit into second, and we no one would be able to avoid talking about it.

Aye, Farage has obliterated both them and the Tories. Actually kind of terrifying. But the truth is, he doesn't have the numbers for power. Nice to see the right being split.

Farage is gunning for a GE result now. The Tories are all talking about No Deal from what i can see. One way or another, that's where they'll end up. Labour has to realise now that it can't win without the Remainers. As such, there is no other option for them, it has to be a second vote, as McDonnell seems to have admitted. Battle won for us, it seems. Now for the real enemy...

Hmm. I'm going to go back to assuming this isn't happening.

The only real problem is the Brexit Party headlining as winners. We have Labour to blame for that but its done now i guess. Please, please let there be some political honesty now.

That'd be just our luck like a glazer style take over.

As if either us or them wouldn't snap someone's hand off for 7th.

The Tories are going to go hard brexit for sure now. Labour HAVE to go Remain. The whole landscape becomes horrific for the Tories if they do. Suddenly the Remain parties are way more powerful.

Props to that guy tbf If this goes through for us I'll actually have some small sympathy with Sunderland. Fucking hell man, can you imagine a worse day for your bitter rivals to get bought out by a billionaire? Oh God, I hope it makes the documentary...! Forget what I said about sympathy, I want to see tears

The 'free speech'/dog whistle racist crowd.

They're right like, way better to be bought by a couple of guys who ran Eastleigh

A second vote is the only way. Seriously. Winner takes all, done for a generation.

Who cares, at worst it's the end of Ashley!! We can just sign a £3bn "kit sponsorship deal" if it comes to it..

No way. Just no way. I don't believe it.

Received wisdom is 75:25 Labour and 50:50 Tories, according to the graun.

75% Remain apparently. Labour that is.
