Where anywhere or anytime in history has a "new" country, become "westernised" within 100 years ????

Saudi is a new country to the same extent that, say, Italy is. Its rulers and ruling culture goes back far further than 100 years. In fact they're stuck in the 7th century.

They have no intention of changing either, you dense infidel.

Saudi Arabia as a country may be only 100 years old, but there has been civilisation there for for over 1500 years, Saudi Arabia being the amalgamation of 4 main regions.
Islam was born there in the 7th century, they were far more advanced in mathematics and science than the west at that time, so that gives them a bit of historical precedent…..

Oh, you already said that better than me 👍

Why are we as fans being castigated 😂😂 petitions, parliament, Saudi flags, Arab costumes, ‘richest club in the world’ taunts.

"There's nothing the fans could do about it"


Also
90,000 Newcastle fans sign petition pressurising the Premier League to allow Saudi take over, and MPs in the region get involved, demanding the Premier League to yield.

This whole sports washing business is utter shite.

Saudi Arabia is less than 100 years old as a country, formed in one of the harshest environments on earth and as a result I would suggest made up of the harshest of people.

To expect a new nation, especially in that part of the world, to conform and adopt "western" standards and become a benign society like ours, that developed/matured over centuries, is preposterous.

Is what happens there awful, of course it is, by our standards, but to compare it to what we experience in the west is pure folly.

You can't just flick a switch, it took 200 years for our monarchy to finally move from absolute to constitutional, why should we expect different elsewhere. Even after our centuries of societal development we didn't outlaw the execution of minors until 1908. As Saudi was being formed 1932/33, we were administering India and at that same time, under our governance, average life expectancy in India was 28 years old, twenty fecking eight. Women couldn't vote here until 1928. In my lifetime (yeah I'm old) black people couldn't even get on a fecking bus in the USA.

We're not that great ourselves.

We have to engage and guide and mentor, not use the big stick otherwise we see what happens in that part of the world.

Saudi Arabia has been around for the blink of an eye in historical terms in its societal development.

Meanwhile in this beacon of loveliness we call the UK, we have circa 3000 foodbanks and 200-300 folks a day die of Covid due to government mishandling, at least the 81 who were executed had a fair trial according to the laws of THAT land, our covid victims not so much.

Dear me. It's embarrassing that you spent time writing that drivel. You even went as far as citing COVID victims? Absolutely mental.

'He is still the only man to have been capped over 100 times for the Soviet Union and is also their record scorer with 42 goals from 112 appearances.'

I appreciate geopolitics isn't The Mag's strength but you'd think they'd understand why nobody has recently clocked up 100 caps for the Soviet Union.
 
It's the hopes to see an end to all wars bit that got me. When the owners he begged to buy them and fully supports with whataboutery are committing Genocide daily. I'd imagine he's your Stereotypical Mag from Fenham who wears his Brown Ale top and hacky grey joggers every day. Nothing else in his life but NUFC. A complete moron.

Reubens are big Tory supporters and donate millions of them. Your club is rancid from top to bottom, whether it’s at home or abroad.

I can just about tolerate Mags on here when it comes to actual football banter, but the moment they start attempting to justify anything concerning the activities of KSA they should be banned immediately. Glad to see this is happening.

I know. It’s getting silly now. They are on Twitter arguing with amnesty international
