Rattled to hell and back.

The lack of dissenting voices from your ranks on twitter really is noticeable though. For example I saw fans from multiple other clubs (and Oliver Holt from the Mail) questioning Keith Downie's 'generally good people' tweet and lots of your fans piling in on them but none calling him on the others out on it. If you want the perception that all your fans are complicit with and support the regime then a few of you are going to have to start putting your heads above the parapet.

I don't play on twitter. I am also 100% certain that you, and those on here, do not genuinely believe that 90+% of NUFC fans support this. Twitter, FB, and pissed idiots outside the ground are not the 45k regulars attendee at SJP.

I like when this brought up. Their investment in Disney, Facebook, F1 and Starbucks proves that the Saudi regime is trying to cosy up to the West. Rather than changing their ways, they'll invest in western companies (and make a nice return). Propaganda 101.

Would you care to help me in organizing something to remember Jamal Khasoggi? With the permission of his fiancé. @mag in peace - how about you?

Happy to provide what little help I can, but wouldn't know where to start. Would be happy to put it to members of the Trust, or True Faith or whomever.

The horse puncher was a generally nice man. He was an animal lover with 3 dogs, a fish pond and likes to feed foxes over his fence in his spare time.

Aye but he only did it because he had toothache iirc.

Unlike most doctors Harold Shipman had beautiful penmanship and you could actually read his prescriptions.

He always put scripts in to chemists for old ladies and picked them up for them what a kind man he was

Not as nice as Fred West. I mean he actually dug the graves for his victims. Now THAT is thoughtfulness

Sunday's your chance to show how disgusted most of you are. Not an anti Newcastle jibe, just an anti modern football jibe.

80%+ do as only c20% have said they won’t go back.

Never mind then, generally nice folk.

The Mags will change them as they become part of their unique Nashun

Let's see how many tea towels, bedsheets, masks and Suadi flags are on display at the weekend eh.

Ok - let’s do it. I’ll pM you later this week.
@Swindon On Tour - you got any contacts at your club we could work with?

It's the Simone Biles tumble of trying to find some kind of equivalence between 3% of Disney held for less than 6 months, and 80% of NUFC. Disney probably weren't even aware they were shareholders; in the UK, only holdings of 5% or more need to be notified to the company and the Stock Exchange. It was a small investment in a quoted company, for financial gain, Nothing more. The same as every bloody pension fund in the UK.
