I hope this guy is kidding. He probably isn't

I might be in the minority but essentially it is just a shirt. The next is pure conjecture but it must be quite worrying for Newcastle fans if somewhere in Riyadh someone is getting on the phone and saying "we want a shirt in Saudi colours next season". If they are that hands on what could be the next diktat? Don't sign Kasper sign Mohammed Al-Owais.... from my perspective every day brings something new which causes the fans to twist and turn. It is hilarious.

They quite literally have no self awareness. Majority seem to think its about the shirt & not the message it represents. They are now an arm of the horrific Saudi propaganda machine that's drip feeding them towards being sympathisers for the crimes they commit.

It's sad & hilarious in equal measure.

P.S. the authors at the Mag are thick as f***ing mince.
 
This sums up the mags whataboutery.

You can guarantee if a geordie lass was caught commiting adultery in Saudi and was about to be stoned to death, they suddenly have a problem with their owner.

They are gutless until it affects them. You wouldn't want a geordie in the trenches with you.

You're a snide.

You're having a go stating folk were not outraged pre takeover.

Watching 9/11 unfold was probably the darkest viewing I have ever witnessed .

You dislike the regime but state we only dislike the regime because of you lot . You cant lie straight in bed. I've read your posts but stayed off here a while regards posting.

On 9/11 I was watching it just before I had to go and get my son from school. I must have looked shocked because a neighbour asked if I was alright. All I could do was splutter "They've flown planes into the World Trade Center". And now we're "faux outraged" because the money behind it has bought Newcastle. I'd still be outraged if they'd bought Accrington Stanley.

How many of the Chelsea squad are Russian?
And so on.

What does the shirt represent?
We're already being told we're owned by the Saudi state and it's going to be pretty obvious we will be sponsored by a Saudi influence.
We've already been told it's all sports washing, so this is just another big stick to add to the other sticks to beat with.

I think that fickleness goes with the territory of everyone, not just Geordies.

I would argue they are of equal disdain.

Saudis commit more extreme crimes, but all in their own country. Plus all the oil.

Agri-food companies like Louis Dreyfus commit less extreme crimes, but in many countries around the world.

Saudis go all in for the murder, executions, murder, oppression etc. LDC will just go in for land grabs, displacement of local people, environmental and ecosystem damage. Murder will only be rare, if there is a particular problem to solve.

I think the Saudis are worse and should be shunned like North Korea. They have no place in British sports, and BAE should not be selling them weapons. It’s a disgrace they own Newcastle.

Companies like Louis Dreyfus just need to improve their game. Raising awareness amongst consumers about the abuses in the agri supply chain is the best way to get that change.

Louis Dreyfus still in Russia too:

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus inherited his money from his father. He is not, and never has been, directly involved in the management of the Louis-Dreyfus company. Nor is he ever likely to be. Ownership of the shares the family has (currently held by his mother) is most likely to pass to his elder brother Eric.

I think that's where your wrong.

The reason geordies are seen as a pathetic fan base is because of their lack of self awareness. Take away the North east rivalry.

Villa fans can see what you like and Everton fans can also. So it's not just a Sunderland fan bias that you lot try to hide behind. Many many people can see how spineless some of your support are

So the reason our crowds have held up in league 1 is because we’re giving out thousands of free tickets!! Oh the irony.
What is it with these fuckers? I thought they were moving on into the stratosphere with their new beheading owners, yet they come to our games and still have continual pops at us.
Their obsession and inferiority complex simply never goes away it’s constant.

6 in a row frazzled their pea sized brains, we are always on their minds, just wait until next Saturday, the obsessed wankers will be starting The Jawdie Nashun Branch of Wycombe Wanderers.

Deluded fuckwits

We’ve got them continually looking over their shoulder at us , as you say they’re very insecure 🤷‍♀️

I've never understood taking the piss out of discounted ticket prices, it gets youngsters in and hopefully hooked on the club. 'Haha look at those lot paying reduced prices'.

It's like a weird badge of honour paying full price, in a league with a ridiculous amount of money involved and on top of that at the richest club in the world - surely they should be reduced.

They pay more for their cheesy chips as well. Absolute madness.

Despite a background text on the shirt that looks like transliterated Arabic. Any Arabic speakers on here?

If they are that hands on, it makes their "promises" to Richard Masters look even more like the bullshit it obviously was.
