- Newcastle fans' big message to the Premier League – 93% still want a Saudi-backed takeover approved

Yet this was the reaction in one poll about the World Cup being in Qatar

- The survey in British newspaper The Sunday Times, which is ongoing until Friday 15 March, had, as of 2.30 p.m. (GMT) on Monday, as much as 93 percent of the 5,704 fans who voted adamant that the Gulf state should be shown the red card and the tournament moved elsewhere.

Relegation is still a very real possibility. That squad is terrible, and no big name manager is likely to take it on, knowing they can't spend till January
By January if they are still in among it no one will touch them with a bargepole, and clubs will be demanding silly money for players.

Then what?

No, it's not. We didn't pick up points playing a defensive style, we picked up points when Bruce just relied on ASM or Wilson pulling something out their arses, then latterly when Willock went on an unbelievable run of goalscoring form.

The issue wasn't that we were defensive, it's that we were deep, passive and yet, somehow, still way, way too easy to play through.

In short, we weren't playing defensively, we were playing shit.

I think the new chairman will have heard loads of fans cheering him, and gone away thinking the club's fans are happy to have him. I don't think seeing a few dickheads in headscarves will have him rethinking the sportswashing plan.

But were playing brilliantly in first 2.mins then what happened 12th man my arse 52 thoosand screaming jawdies didnt help out and were all struck dumb after the equaliser...
 
Rueben Brothers offer to match any donations to the foodbank. Perhaps they could send it to Yemen. Lots of malnourished children there in desperate need of help.
Its not like the new owners haven't already contributed massively to that so a precedent has been set, kind of.

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,

I've sent it to kevan Jones my local Labour MP

I shared this link when someone raised the old "bet you put petrol in your car" line.

He responded with "Nice charts. Now read up on Saudi Aramco and never @ me again."

This doc shows that we imported 731.4m of refined oil from Saudi:

Anyone in the oil business able to give a definitive answer?
