NUFC/Sportwashing

[Georgewhitt]

Can I support Newcastle and be glad of a takeover AND be disgusted that my club has been taken over by a cruel, vile regime seeking to Sportswash their crimes?

Or is nuance forbidden?

You need to find a different word for what you want mate.

Nuance definition:
"A subtle difference of shade or meaning, expression or sound"

Vital word there is subtle.
There is nothing subtle about the way you are looking at this.
You want your cake, and to eat it. Not the way the world works mate.
You either support them or you don't, and by association, you will be forever tarred with the same brush as the regime.
You've made your choice, now deal with the consequences.

That ok MODS?

 

[The Fish]

Pleased you can laugh about it. Not surprising mind, sportswashing having an impact already.

It? No. You? Yes.

How many sunderland fans on that one mate?
As most of this thread is debating with mags on here. If there were no mags this would be a bit smaller.
Also, I've never been on, but is it a shit forum?
The brentford forum has a 15 year old thread on their rivals qpr with far less than 700 pages.
And also, it may be due to us not really doing anything remotely mental.
I mean, if our owner was the literally one of the most evil tyrants in the world, a murderer and a human rights abuser, someone who gave teenagers the death penalty for going on pro democracy marches, someone who gave aid workers 20 years in prison for tweeting against the Prince, someone who made laws to kill gay people, someone who exported wahhabism and terrorism to the world, your thread on us maybe much bigger.
Maybe the fact that you have little to talk about us shows that as a club we do little wrong, where as you lot holding fake funerals and supporting the Saudi regime by wearing f***ing masks of the despot who owns your club means we have far more shit to talk about.
Get your house in order, don't be an utter **** of a club and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't discuss you lot as much.

This, 1000%

Every football team has its knackers but NUFC fans are world renowned for acting like kids desperate for attention

 

[offmenut]

Both of those things are true. But saying you lot don't care about us, or we don't care about you is stupid.

Thank you care a bit more.
Just had a look and over 200 posts on this thread alone. f***ing hell boy
Take a break
You seem to care about 15x more than me.
I'd be surprised if any poster has contributed more than you and the other couple of nufc posters
We all care, but for you it's honestly a bit worrying.
Self loathing isn't nice .
Take care pal.

Teams won't need to raise their game to get Newcastle relegated - they're not very good and are genuine relegation candidates. Even with a big pile of cash to spunk in January, they might end up in the Championship.

Think I'd actually piss my pants with laughter if this happened.

I can support the club without supporting the Saudis.
I can be proud of my country without being proud of the government.
I can think some of Michael Jackson's songs are good, while thinking he was awful.

How class would it be if KLD publically disowned Marseille if PIF took over

Wonder how quickly they’d discard Newcastle if they got their hands on Milan and especially Marseille, as that’s where they’ll pump the money into to compete with PSG.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Deplorable murderous regimes aside, it's quite nice to see the clubs willing to fuck over every other club and 'legacy fan' in the country throwing their toys out because they might end up with some competition tbh.

 

[Az*]

If they don’t give a fuck why are they protesting so much? Asking to be left alone?

The real mags know this is a f***ing disaster, especially for a fanbase obsessed with being liked

Do you have any active subscriptions to the Conservative Party or any paedophile rings though?

 

[Squat]

Aye, it matters. It's 9 years old and smaller than the thread we're currently posting in.

To claim either side don't care about the other is f***ing lunacy.

there's 20 users logged on there now. 650 on here. can you work out why our threads are so much bigger yet? there'll be more mags posting on this thread than theirs

Sunderland have KLD

The mags have MBS, Amanda Starr and Wraith

Was wondering if Tottenham fans were bothered about Newcastle’s takeover and whether they would be saying much on Sunday at their televised match at St.Butcher’s Park. Seems they will be!

There’s some really serious stuff including a Saudi dissident group planning to protest at every match Newcastle play, asking Spurs fans to get involved in their protest on Sunday including holding up a banner of the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi and someone suggesting taking in thousands of fake bank notes with Boris Johnson and MBS’s heads on to scatter from the elevated away end of the ground.

The match header on The Fighting Cock site, instead of just saying Newcastle:away, says versus The Entire Sovereign Population and Government of Saudi Arabia aka Newcastle Away () and many comments suggests we aren’t the only club disgusted by the takeover, eg:
“Let’s hope we don’t win or they may fly planes into our new stadium before we’ve paid for it”
and on Spurs Community site:
“Pathetic club becoming MBS’s plaything, low life
playing in a shit, overrated town full of bright orange women”.

Maybe a few posters on here want to go on these sites and put some of the stuff that’s appeared on here of late like Sky reporter Keith Downie’s tweet, Olly Holt’s reply and Downie’s retraction and the subsequent cartoons of Saville, Thatcher, bin Laden and Prince Andrew! Plus @cheeses of nazereth new NUFC badge, think that’d take off on their sites.

Seems like other clubs feel very strongly about this issue too, as well as some serious political groups. It’s building all the time as it sinks in.

It's fuck all to do with us - this forum is becoming a Mag forum. It's just wall to wall Newcastle shite. We've got bigger fish to fry than worrying about what's happening up the road.

Appreciate the obvious moral quandaries that have been flagged up but this is zip that we can do as fans. Sure there's some legitimate concerns about who now has their fingers in the Premier League pie - but a lot of it just looks like envy over the supposed funds they're going to have masqueraded as "morals".

Please get this Mag crap off the board and just focus on what we've got to do. What will be will be with them.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Sorry but that's far too simplistic. We hate Ashley for many thubgs:

Treatment of Jonas Guttierrez, Alan Shearer, Kevin Keegan, Chris Houghton, clumsy attempt to rename SJP, using ground as a marketing vehicle for Sports Direct whilst paying nothing for said marketing, appointung cronies with no football experience being their competence (Lambias, Jiminez etc).

You've forgot to mention zero hour contracts.

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

I posted this in the Spurs well up for Mags away on Sunday (Sky TV 16:30) thread as I saw a link to the forum and noticed this post. It's to the "Santa Claus is coming to town" tune

You'd better shut up
Or you're going to jail

Bin Salman is coming, for YOUUUUUUUUU.

Top class - really hope Spurs sing this continually on Sunday

 

[Dilligaf60]

Is there a limit on what they can spend in January?

Seemingly. Although as they are now owned by the KSA with the support of the UK government I’m sure accommodations will be made. After all, that’s how the loppers and choppers got the club in the first place.

Spurs are usually shit v the Mags at the best of times.
Mind you, could be a sombre atmosphere as most mags are conflicted and will be showing support for Yemen and the LGTBQ community....oh hang on? I'm hearing they actually won't and will be singing pro-beheading, anti-gay stuff

I can’t see past a win for ISIS Utd at the chop chop arena unfortunately.

 

[MackemTonyG]

Can I put forward a motion that the mag Saudi apologists be forever know as Mohammad’s useful idiots or MUI’s please. Just seems right and is easy to type

 

[Georgewhitt]

I can support the club without supporting the Saudis.
I can be proud of my country without being proud of the government.

Nobody can or should be able to control what you think.
Pride is an emotion which no one can or should be able to control for you.
SUPPORT is a considered physical action, ie buying a ticket etc. By doing that you are actually helping to fund the murderous regime that has bought your club.
You cannot pick the bits you like, and ignore the bits you don't if you want to be taken seriously.
In the eyes of many that is what you now are.
Deal with it. It's how it is going to be.

Unfortunately I think Al Qaeda will win this one, they're buzzing at the minute and feels like Spurs have stuttered after a gold start.

New name for the Quayside

The Al Qaedaside.

Calm down, it’s the international break and nothing else is happening.
