Newcastle United Owner, Mike Ashley


Arsenal thumped Newcastle this past Saturday, 3-0. Now, despite being thrilled at the result and especially the stylish way it was won, the highlight of the broadcast was the clip attached below. This fat mess isn't some regular "Geordie" ( after some research realized this means someone hailing from England's Tyneside region, or may be used to refer to a Newcastle United supporter). This guy is Mike Ashley, billionaire retailer and owner of the football club. Can you imagine a nationally televised baseball game cutting to George Steinbrenner and catching him in a moment like this?:



Arsenal's Denilson, and formerly of Arsenal, Gilberto Silva and Julio Baptista

Loved the chugging, not quite sure what the video with the foreign guy playing banjo was all about.
