All thanks to Gateshead council, a town in its own right on the other side of the water, yet Newcastle claim them as their own.

They claim it as theirs but tell The Heed “ya not proper jawdies like” in the same breath

You've cited our 'defence' of Adam Johnson as an equivalence of this before. The moment Adam Johnson was sentenced there was plenty of criticism of our club. Why didn't we see that as an attack that we were determined to defend? Why didn't we in our thousands take to Twitter with whataboutery to try and justify a support of him? All of the Saudi's atrocities are there for all to see and it's still being defended.

Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

He's sports washed without even realising it.

Bollocks. You're the exception. The murderers chose you because there would be no protests against them and you would be the easiest to accept their Sportswashing with open arms. Hence the massive amounts of justifying tweets and articles and the deflection tactics. Saudi bots copping people bans who are against. It's the biggest Propaganda exercise since Hitler. And I've no doubt you would have accepted him as well. You're an idiot.

They would have been a Geordie nation of Rolfs grassing up the Von Trapps and piping AH off. They would be calling anyone jealous who kicked off about it coming up with shit like ‘You never cared about Poland before we invaded it’ or ‘aye but you’re wearing Hugo boss so you’re all f***ing Hippocrates (sic)

Are you able to confidently state as fact the thinking of each of the 110,000 signatories? Were they all dead set against any other takeover? Was the Saudi takeover the only one they wanted? Was it because they love what the Saudis stand for?

Or, did a lot of people sign a petition in the hopes of accelerating the departure of Mike Ashley from the club?

I've said it before, but the fans are defending the club as they see criticism of the club as an attack. They shouldn't defend the Saudis (or Staveley or Reuben for that matter) but they will. In a similar way to Scousers defending Suarez, or some of your lot defending Johnson. That isn't whataboutery, that's just an objective acknowledgement that football is tribal and when the tribe feels attacked, they'll muster a defence. It might be a stupid f***ing defence, but they do it. Newcastle fans are not alone in this regard.

I'm not sure that the pittance the Newcastle fanbase are putting into the club will fund global terror, but every fan has to make decision that's right for them. For some, it's too much and they've walked, for others they can see a distinction between the club and it's owners. Just as they did under Ashley.

Support what? A takeover? or specifically the Saudi takeover?

If your mates have sent you, a sunderland fan, pictures of them in tea towels, is it possible they've done it to wind you up?

I can honestly say i do not know one single person who 'defended' Johnson after his conviction.

Both the Johnson situation and PDC situation have been very informative for me since the takeover.

I live and work in Newcastle, and plenty of NUFC fans wanted in depth debates about the morality of supporting SAFC during those times, and a number of NUFC fans told me unequivocally that they would "not go to the match" while PDC was manager and / or Johnson on the pitch.
(Even though PDC had done nothing illegal and Johnson was pleading not guilty and hadn't been convicted).

These very same "paragons of virtue" - who said they wouldn't enter the ground due to their incredibly moral stance over such issues - can now be seen either gloating and celebrating the takeover, or hiding and dodging such discussions.

I expect every single one of them to be at the next home match.

Everyone was disgusted with him once he was found guilty and furious with Byrne for covering it up. The mags know their owners condone murder and are complete shithouses yet are defending them to the hilt. Fuck me man johnson would have been legally allowed to marry that lass if he was a Saudi at the time and underage marriages are still happening yet they use him as a stick to beat us with. You couldn’t make it up.. They’re a set of sportswashing bellends who have desperate deflecting and straw clutching to do, it’s pathetic.

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?

But the 110 000 willingly chose Saudi’s Arabia over Mike Ashley. Do you think MA is worse than SA? Saudi Arabia by the way not South Africa

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 Gallows Gate end
