What do those American owners have to do with the American government?

Your majority shareholder has links with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
You can give me all of the whataboutery you like it doesn't change the fact that your club is owned by one of the most deplorable regimes of modern times.

I assume, though do not know, that Nissan have no business interests in Saudi Arabia

Possibly.
She may just be uncomfortable in front of a camera and nervous, but it just came across a bit like the words didn't match the behaviour. Not that I'm a body language expert but you don't shake your head when you're sure of something imo.

I watched part if it earlier and funnily enough I got the same vibe. Very defensive and nervy.

Slow, so very slow…
Many here are “joking” about the death of a journalist in Turkey…allegedly committed on the orders of a foreign government…
I assume, therefore that American ownership of sports will now be questioned as the American military allegedly killed 11 civilians in Kabul recently

The drone striker that the American's unreservedly apoligised for? The one they thought was a car bomb about to kill dozens of innocent people?
Yeah, it was a tragic mistake, but was done with the best intentions then reviewed the evidence and accepted full responsibility and apologised.

Compare that to the people the Saudi regime kills, for no good reason at all, then never owns up to.

Now tell me about the Civil war raging in the Yemen right now and ask why the Saudis are even involved, carpet bombing half the country.
I could go on, but you already know all this. You post is just whataboutery deflection from something that cannot, ever, be justified.

I get it, you want rid of an arsehold owner. We've both been there. Some of us twice in the last decade. But jumping out of the frying pan into a bag of hot death isn't an improvement to be proud of.

Digby Jones having a pop at the Mags on BBC News 24. He seems incredulous that Newcastle have fans "who have an enormous sense of entitlement. Though God knows why".

Always amuses me that their delusion has become nationally recognised. They'll be hated & ridiculed more than Man U fans in a couple of years.

Someone wealthy called Digby sneers at Northerners. How predictable.

Fair play marra, I couldn’t watch the interview one is was stomach churning for any Sunderland supporter to watch but it was also very awkward how she was answering questions. Like to say, hardly convincing in her responses

I thought there'd be an uproar about saying 5-10 years to win the Premier league.

To be fair, Di Canio didn’t have a dissident journalist kidnapped, murdered, and chopped up with a bone saw.

Yet the likes of caulkin was churning out articles highlighting his anti fascist, socialist, principles and demanding an explanation on some comments di canio had historically made.

But with an owner that kills kids and orders journalists to be chopped up; not one critical word.

Hope the f***ing hypocrite never steps foot in the sol again to write about us.

You're forgetting Mike Ashley and his zero hour contracts mate. Makes the Saudi's look like a canny bunch of lads he does.
 
Have they signed/kidnapped/blackmailed Mbappe yet?
