Yesterday called the new Mags ownership group "generally nice people" - which saw him take a fair bit of flack from fellow journalists before he deleted his tweet :lol:

More generally though, he is supposed to be a Sky journalist for the entire North East. He was crying on live TV when they were taken over, saying how "emotional" it was for him to see such a big club them be taken over, tweeting photos of himself with beers with the hashtag #CANS, but I can't remember him being anywhere near as excited when we were taken over. Despite it pretty much saving our club (not that he would know, because he barely bothered to report anything about our plight under Donald and co)?

On his twitter and he has tweeted about the Mags 43 times since he last tweeted about us, Gateshead, Hartlepool or any other NE club...

I appreciate they are Premier League, but Sky have the football league rights as well and we have a lot of fans and therefore will have a lot of Sky Sports subscribers. Is it asking that much to want a bit more coverage from the leading sports news broadcaster in the country?

Can anyone remember his comments about PDC?

Nice to know I'm so impactful, but 20 from 900 is still only 2%. Meaning even if you think there are 4 other Newcastle fans who each are the cause of 20 pages there are 800 pages of Sunderland fans speaking about Newcastle United in the last 2 months. Which proves the fairly self-evident truth; you lot care about Newcastle, just like we care about you.

4 other Newcastle fans? 🤔 I think Pancho banned that many in a short spell the other day! 🤣😂

A quick look back and it's around last Wednesday on page 355 when the news about the ban on BEIN Sports being lifted broke and then Luke Edwards talking about his change on mind on the takeover possibly happening. The takeover has hugely bloated the thread by over 500 pages in a week. It was also bloated due to the recent CAT case and all the other antics the Mags get up too. Now given the 1,000's of posts on twitter and the 100's of articles on various media/other websites then what do you expect people on here to do? It's not as if people aren't still posting in other threads about no Mag related stuff.

That along with the trolls coming on with the usual deluded drivel and then being told about the fact the deserve fuck all as NUFC has done nowt for decades apart from big spending in the 90's and the low crowds they had before that. Not fortgetting the piss taking and that isn't caring about Newcastle at all, it's for our entertainment to laugh at you 🤣😂

You need to think about why you (and a shit load of other Mags) are on here discussing it in the first place instead of a Mag forum? 🤔😂

I've just searched my own username in this thread and the maximum 5 pages of results show it go back to September 13th yet your 5 pages only go back to September 23rd. I also noted that it shows 40 posts per page so that's 200 posts so it's actually 8 pages you've posted on here in the last few weeks, not 4 pages so nearly 1%. Now add in the multiple responses you'll have got then you're looking at shit load of pages given your posting style contributed from just you alone.

Your recent posts about thread size to imply we care about Newcastle is yet another perfect example of trolling as you're spouting shite and having to have to have things spoon-fed to you (hence the size of my post). We don't care about the Mags at all but do keep an eye on them given you're our rivals and thanks to the antics of your fans, even given our League 1 status, we're still able to laugh the loudest! 😂🤣

Though I guess you enjoy the attention you get on here anyway, like some other Mags but all while being on a rivals forum is a bit sad to be honest 🤪

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?

Perhaps you should direct that question to one of the 5m people in Yemen who are suffering from a famine as a direct consequence of Saudi government policy or Jamal Khashoggi's family or the victims of Saudi sponsored terrorism?

You'll have to explain in what context your using the term "nuance": a verb or noun before I anwser the second part of the question

The new owners put more eyeballs on the north east football and therefore he will have more work and more money.

It’s a story of interest to the rest of the UK.

It is what it is. I don’t get why our fans are being so sour about it, and I don’t get why their fans first thought is to rub our noses in it.
They should just be happy and enjoy the moment. And we shouldn’t care.

Yes they’re a diabolical bunch of bastards but let’s be honest, we’d be over the moon if we were suddenly going to have Man City money.

Speak for yourself mate, and I'd also add when City got taken over by Sheik Mansour, he hadn't been identified as
Ordering the murder & disembowlement of a journalist
Headed a government that sponsors international terrorism & responsible for a famine effecting 5m people.
Not to mentioned Saudi Arabia internal suppression of human rights.

Exactly.

Sky went on the war path over the Super League and telling us that the Glaziers of this world are killing the game. They kept telling us about the corrupt Russian and Qatari World Cup bids. Not to travel to Poland and Ukraine because they are racists and homophobic.

Funnily enough Sky didn't have the rights to any of those events. :lol:

Sky won’t mention human rights at all on Sunday, neither will the panel, or it’ll be quickly skated over. Doesn’t suit their agenda on Sunday.
 
Think it's about time Sky shifted him on. He's just a regional reporter but he seems to misjudge things a bit too often and its hardly great publicity to have other journalists actually laughing at you / criticising your poorly judged social media outpourings
 
Lets be honest the Saudis would have preferred a better club than the mags but they would know their supporters were the least likely to kick off if they bought them.

Most decent fans in this country would not want murderers or people who chuck gay people off tall buildings or chop kids hands off running their club.

Their morals are lower than the belly of a snake.

Hopefully premier league clubs will target them.
