So what was it then? The petition was regarding the PIF be allowed, was it not? Therefore, that amount at least were demanding them as your new owners.

Don't be coming on here claiming they have been put upon you man and you were all just demanding a change in ownership, any change. It was specifically to do with that bid being allowed, no others.

and you accuse us of talking f***ing nonsense

The Saudi bid was the only bid accepted. It was the only one that the PL was stalling until they sorted the piracy.

How could we demand the PL stop stalling a non-existent bid?
 

“It’s not all of the fans” “a minority” “nothing to do with the fans” ….where are the majority then? Where are these decent north east folk? The ones we shop alongside, work alongside. All I’ve seen is either silent ignorance or full on celebration.

That one really made me laugh out loud.

Actually accusing other posters on here of "making the same circular arguments" was a moment of pure comedy gold.

:lol:

And has he changed anyones view? Has he made us believe he didn't want the Saudi takeover or celebrated it? Has anyone agreed with him on anything regards this?

No

Has he completely wasted his time and made himself look like an arse?

Yes

What a f***ing life he must have. I read the Mag boards but I'd never dream of signing up to one. It's just bizzare. Fish man get a lass. Divvunt get a bloke or they'll hoy you off the Gallowgate end

You're probably right. It's just that I see the same bollocks repeated ad infinitum to the point they (regardless of how patently ridiculous they are) become accepted as fact.

"All NUFC fans want to be owned by murderers and despots" The tiniest amount of objectivity would tell you that's utter nonsense.
"You's signed a petition to push through this takeover" With not a moment set aside to answer the question why. Why did 110,000 fans sign a petition to push through the takeover. Was it because they wanted to be associated with the Saudis, or was there more at play?
"Yous are all waving Saudi flags" When it's patently clear it's a tiny, tiny minority. Even if it was 500 (which it wasn't) that's less than 1% of the ground, let alone the many thousands who weren't there.

It's just bollocks and I find it difficult to see such bollocks and not state the case for the defence.

But, yeah, you're probably right. I should step back because it's the same users, spouting the same nonsense that I end up in circular arguments with. Which is no doubt boring as fuck.

Aye but all your doing is adding fuel to the fire, Your a Mag on a Sunderland Forum. You will get some who are up for a reasoned debate and someone who will tell you where to go (And arguably rightly so), it'd be exactly the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

You are literally wasting your own time, day in, day out going over the same stuff that has been mentioned or discussed before.

We both know that most clubs have their fair share of knackers (I would say you lot more than most like ;)),but you are trying far to hard to stick up for your club, when the reality is, no matter what facts or reasoned points you make, they are just going to be drowned out by the sheer volume of responses you get.

To be honest, and I've said it before, it's entertaining for me to try and make a point that is irrefutable, even in the face of the most blinkered of internet Sunderland fans.

You're right though, ultimately no matter what facts, or reasonable points I put on here there'll be some who will contort themselves with mental gymnastics to argue the other way. Said it to Binxy (who I think replies to me more for sport, than anything else) they'd argue it was sunny if I walked in wet.

I do this while I'm doing other stuff, it's not exactly taxing stuff on here ;)

So you chose to campaign for a despotic tyrant, possibly most evil man on planet, over sticking with incumbent Fagin. Anyone but him, guv!

And if course be is a Cockney and does not get you. Lol

I genuinely cannot be arsed arguing the same point over and over again.

Newcastle fans are not unique in their reaction to the takeover. If you honestly think that no other fanbase would behave in largely the same way, you're an infant.

Mock funerals, shouting at shops, wearing head-dresses to welcome an oppressive regime owning your club. Off the top of my head three things I can’t imagine anyone but your set of absolute freaks doing.

you are different, in the worst ways imaginable.

Quite a few, myself included could benefit from this advice. I'm just going to chip in with my shitty banter from now on - there is literally no point as reasoned debate can not be had.

You and Fish are quite reasonable, but defending the indefensible, which will get picked up on our board.

Admit your fans hate Mike Ashley so much you didn't care who you got into bed with, the devil or anyone else.
Admit this new ownership stinks and a lot of your fans are an embarrassment atm.
Admit claims that we and other fans are jealous amounts to almost cult like denial and delusion.
