Yes. Steve Bruce turns people into Nazis, he's got a long history of turning people into Nazis. His whole career is based on turning people into Nazis...

Jesus wept.

In fairness Amanda Staveley has turned you in sympathizers and supporters of a murderous tyrant.

 

[KarenDent]

It was awful from the home fans. Away end was bouncing. Best chant was 'You're getting stoned in the morning' to Bruce or whenever a player misplaced a pass

They were very loud

And my crackpipe

Had to read that twice, thought it said cack pipe. I'm going for a lie down

Irrelevant to the question.

Also irrelevant to the question.

Also irrelevant to the question.

The question being:
I'm Spartacus said:
I’m not sure if the Saudis are thinking this is brilliant or what the fuck have we just bought? The scenes yesterday were beyond cringeworthy. Grown men in Arab garb, waving Saudi flags and chanting they’re the richest club in the world. They’ve sold their souls to Satan and made a complete twat of themselves in the process. The entire country has just seen them for what they are.

I don’t think this will end well for them.


To which I replied, below.

What makes Newcastle a fantastic football club ???

Can’t stop laughing at the kids face .

They know exactly what they've bought. They've bought a fantastic football club in a fantastic city. A one club city..
They also know the squad. Stavely and co are not stupid. They know it needs a massive overhaul to get anywhere near the set up of the elite clubs.

It may not. Only time will tell on that.
However it's certainly looking like it will fare much better than what Mike Ashley could offer it and like it or not, the overall feel good factor is returning which can only be good for the restructuring of the club and city.

Pity the new owners arent as concerned about the feel good factor or restructuring of the entire nation of Yemen isnt it. Never mind though, what does the bombing of children and the destruction of an entire country matter compared to possibly winning a few trophies. Who cares about human rights, they cannot compete with the chance of maybe qualifying for the Europa Conference League.

it’s a typo - he meant fascist fans club.

He’d love to get his lips on my cack pipe if I was a Saudi citizen but he’d have to get past Keith Downie first

SMB's. Saudi Murdering Bastards.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Is it something like 3% of the UK supply comes from Saudi Arabia? I might start asking where me petrols from when I fill the car up

And then they'll say it all gets blended in the refinery anyway.

 

[Harbour Boy]

They were very loud

It was a great atmosphere, everyone was up for it in the Spurs end. A real siege mentality and a will to spoil the party.

 

[The Great MES]

They have always kissed the black and white hoop right back to the non trophy winning entertainers.

No that can't be right. Jake Humphrey is the only one who "gets them". All the rest say nasty things about them.

I just tried to send this to what would have been my local MP, if I still lived in this country.
I got an automated response saying that I need to leave my address etc.

Anyway, if anyone else wants to do it, my email was this:-

Hello Grahame,
I am sure you are aware of what is happening at Newcastle and their takeover by the Saudi Government.

I have two issues with this on a political level .

First is the Govt involvement with the Premier League, when Johnson allegedly made sure that the deal went through. It is alleged that we wouldn't be able to sell alms to slaughter Yemenis if it didn't happen. Apparently the minutes of the meeting between Johnson and the PM League chairmen have been redacted. It would be nice if some transparency would be forthcoming. Perhaps you could ask him why.

The second issue is your colleague in the Labour Party, the MP for Newcastle Central, Chi Onwurah. The amorality is astonishing, her vitriolic attack on the Saudi Govts murder of Kashoggi three years ago, has given way to her appearance at St James's Park yesterday in support of the murderous regime. The only thing I can say in her defence is that she didn't wear a tea towel on her head!
This is far more important than football, heaps shame upon the region, and perhaps you can query this in some way?

Best wishes,

It's absolutely standard for MPs to accept correspondence from only their constituents. Even then, it can take at least two weeks to reply if the matter isn't urgent (which means either time-critical for the constituent or relevant to a Parliamentary debate in the immediate future).

 

[Georgewhitt]

I've never lived or worked or even been to the Middle East. There are a few posters on here that have, and from what I can glean from some of their posts, is that the Arab nation really see themselves as superior to westeners, morally and intellectually.
From what they saw yesterday, with fully grown supposedly adults, mocking their culture, dress, and stereotyping them, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that they have gone home with no intention of ever putting themselves through that again.
The Jawdee nation basically said thank you for "rescuing" them from Ashley, by humiliating, mocking and abusing them.
To them it must have seemed excessive in its ungratefulness.

Don't be surprised if the expected bankrolling is not quite as forthcoming as you had hoped.

 

[gipetto]

And yet he keeps getting jobs.

Wish I had mates in the media, I reckon even I could have had a solid League 1, Championship career out of them.

We were complaining that we were playing deep and passive (and still conceding). We weren't complaining about defensive football under Hughton or Benitez.

Of course we'd love to play attacking football, but football that gets points on the board is even more appealing.

That's rubbish and you know it. You picked up points past season playing a defensive style, knowing you'd invariably create a few chances and if you scored you were setup tight enough to defend the lead.

Your fans were actively complaining about the defensive style, had it been Benitez it wouldn't have been an issue even though the style of play was all but the same. Now you're playing a more open game as demanded by the fans you're getting cut to shreds by the better sides. You don't have the quality to play a more balanced game, very few clubs in the bottom half have that luxury.

Thought you were a Sunderland fan?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Ah! I see - I forgot about the late finish.

So essentially they were down until Nathan Jones 4W', 4D's & 1L?

But the mags think he can do what Bruce can't do in the Prem?

Exactly

Half my family are Spurs and half are Sunderland. Managed to get a ticket yesterday so went along with the North East Spurs branch.

They've just been taken over and were supposedly in a jubilant mood, as soon as Spurs went ahead they hid and went quiet, in the end reverting to type and they couldn't hep but boo Bruce and the result, despite supposedly being the wealthiest club in the world. They are never happy.

Spurs fans were singing "is this a library", it was totally embarrassing and swathes of empty seats could be seen after 80 minutes.
