Those stinking Geordies and the Arabs are a match made in heaven, a country that stones people to death and is just awful, and the sweaty horrible Geordies. And they keep saying the Saudi's have lots of money... Then how come they only bought 80% of the club and not 100%??? And how come they've had to borrow money? It will all end in tears. Fact.

How much longer is this going to be the leading post on our entire forum?

We've heard the news, we've had our reactions and it's time to wind it down I think.

911 was perpetrated by terrorists mate- not the Saudi sovereign wealth fund

Most Newcastle fans will be less than happy that it's the house of Saud buying us out- but there's nowt that can be done about it so well get on with supporting our team .

Did Sunderland fans kick up a stink when a confirmed facist who celebrated the funeral of a rw killer ( a terrorist involved in an atrocity in Bologna that killed 80 people ) ... was made their manager in 2013 ?

....One or two did maybe

But the vast majority thought fuck it - let's get right behind him ....

That analogy only works if Di Canio ordered the attack. There's no comparison really-nufc are now owned by one of the biggest murdring shithouses on the planet.

You used the word "faux" which immediately classes you as a pretentious wank stain who thinks he knows better than us folk. I'm thinking you are definitely a maggish type of person

You need to grow up marra if you're going to label someone a mag because they don't agree with you. Pathetic really.

@Fitzgerald aka @Gill1000 and @Wolfbeard

Wolfy shows up after a ban, gets banned. Fitzgerald then shows up, gets banned and now Gill, who will be on the verge of a ban. The Seaham mag has been cruising for a ban for a while.

All Durham mags. Scum, sub human scum.

It's a bit banter man. Also Durham has always had and will always have thousands upon thousands of toon fans ok I agree if you so wish it's major football team is safc. However loads of Northumbrian miners moved there over the years and kept following the lads fact
 
I hope those whose morals are so high do not use the investments of these people.
If Newcastle fans are expected to give up their club on moral grounds then all those with morals over this should cease to use anything that has been invested in by this group.
Does everyone do this?

If not it is massively hypocritical and is a clear indication of the subjectiveness I mentioned.
Sorry to bring this up but fair's fair.

I would hazard a guess that some people, fans included, of all clubs, would offer resistance to this regime but the majority will avoid the politics and get on with being a fan of the football and what is on offer on that basis.

You're right. I'm not saying that NUFC are unique in terms of fans not taking any sort of a stand but, rivalry aside, I genuinely thought you were better than most sets of fans. Again, not saying I'm expecting you not to attend, I'm honest enough to say if it was Sunderland I'd still be going.

I just think that, rivalry aside, you're a pretty left wing club with fans who, certainly aside from football, are very, very similar to Sunderland fans (I've mentioned before that my dad is a mag, took him to a game v man united to thank him for helping me move house, was the 3-3 I think it finished, and took him to the strawberry prematch and it was just like being out in Sunderland before a game tbh). Your fan base have done great stuff around food banks. I genuinely think you've got a good social conscience. So its just the lack of comment on the regime. Its the number with tea towels and Saudi flags. It's the whataboutery and attempts to justify and legitimise their involvement. I thought there would be a lot more of "yeah we'll keep going, we're excited for the future, but we don't want our city, our club and our people to be used to sportswash what is a disgraceful regime". Maybe its just the way of the world now, but its disappointing there's been almost none of that, aside from one letter in a fanzine from a woman who clearly has morals.
