NUFC/Sportwashing

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Make your own mind up, but yes it was a indeed an attempt at a sarcastic response to GrumpyOldMans extensive history lesson on the UAE he posted to me.

You said it before GOM explained the history of the UAE. IIRC GOM was saying the Abu Dhabi Group were a private investment group that isn't owned by the UAE. You tried to be smart and said that Abu Dhabi was the king of the UAE.

 

[Scunny Dan]

Thank fuck. You’ll be sweating when you have to go a little bit without looking on here

I doubt it. I'll be sat in a nice air-conditioned office advising the hoi-polloi what they should be doing via e-mail.

No I didn't FFS

Does this Downie saudi licking creep sit in the press box at our home games

I wish he and his ilk would just do the decent thing and f**k off away and stay away from the SOL. Same goes for look Newcastle (except Jeff) and Tyne Tyne tv.

One of two things will happen with the media.

A) Everything will settle down and Newcastle will be seen as no different to Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, etc.

B) The actions of the Saudi State will be associated with the club.

I think, in all honesty, it will be the latter.

Even the most enthusiastically biased pro-Newcastle journalists will eventually realise the whole thing is rotten.

It's like when you fork out for a flash sports car and you quickly suspect it isn't what you hoped. But you put the roof down, get out in the sunshine and blast down the country lanes. You try hard to convince yourself it's just what you've dreamt of but you keep checking the guages and praying it doesn't all blow up in your face.

The Mags think they're flying along in a Ferrari but I don't think the road will be too smooth.

I think the fact that the circumstances of the whole thing going through being as shady as they have been just makes it even more suspicious and quite frankly ridiculous.

I followed the thread. It wasn't a joke, nor was it a sarcastic retort. It was, however, amusing.

Be interesting on Sunday with sky there. Will Keane, Souness and Neville be allowed to speak their mind whilst sitting in ISIS park?

You won’t need to be back, you never leave this place

"Nice day today eh Bill".
"Is it bollocks! There was a spot of rain earlier! Always knew you were a closet Mag! Get back on your own board!"

I thought all they wanted was a team that tries?

Someone send that to him and time how long it takes for him to block you

He needs to be bombarded with this stuff. Make him own his shit.

And investment in the region...

Well they’ve sold tha toon oot of tea towels bed sheets and Arab costumes so I suppose that could be loosely construed as boosting the lercal economy. Wish I’d a garage full of stuffed camels.

I dont expect you to give up your club. I just find the waving saudi flags and discussing changing religion to Islam a tad offensive.

I would go f***ing ballistic if it happened to us I really would.

The government and FL are a bastard disgrace. They have spat on the victims of this disgusting Prince and his army of torturers and murderers, that's inclusive of the 5 men he butchered whom he backheeled khashoggis murder on .

And don't forget selling the weapons to do it

I thinly getting Amnesty International involved, along with supporters groups across the country and doing a major fundraiser for Yemen would be a great idea tbf. Some good could come out of it, and I do think you'd get a lot of mags donating. It wouldn't be seen as jealous fans lashing out, but would instead be a reminder to the Saudis that their sportswashing won't work and that football fans are generally good people who are never going to share their morals.

Great shout as Sunderland supporters we should lead the way in setting up a Just Giving page and providing a summary of what if has been set up, getting football supporters across the country from all clubs involved to show the Saudi’s up.

 

[Botchie]

I hope Bruce is in charge on Sunday. It'll make it worth watching just to see how they make complete titof themselves.

if it doesn’t end his career it should absolutely mean him and the other NE jorno’s crawling up the Saudi’s arses are banned for the SoL.

Sorry if SEB, but the bit about Bruce getting a cabbage thrown at him had me in stitches.

He was talking about the owners he has met. He can't talk about those he hasn't. It's worth noting that whilst Hardy is putting the boot in here, he happily accepted an all-inclusive paid trip to Saudi to watch the boxing.

Messi

‘Everyone agrees that Argentina would have won three consecutive World Cups between 2006 and 2014 with Bruce as our national coach’.

‘When we heard he was struck by a cabbage thrown by an Aston Villa fan, there was a national day of mourning in Argentina’.

The diminutive playmaker signed off the press conference by leaping on top of a podium and belting out ‘The fog on the Tyne is all mine’ by Geordie folk-rock band Lindisfarne.
