    I have it on good authority that the banana was purchased by our owners. They were due to announce the purchase of our new centre half at a press conference scheduled for next week.

    Maybe it's an indication of the total disconnect between the haves and have nots.
    People sleeping on the streets while others throw the price of a house away on a banana.
    Still.....keep voting right wing for those tax cuts for the wealthy eh?

    Fake news. The article clearly says the banana was overripe. Our new signing will still be green
