I've never read this conversation but you definitely can't knock nufc crowds or support

Nor can you knock safc crowds and support but what I will say is this both nufc and safc are 1 city clubs. That's the main reason we both get massive numbers it's not because your or our fans are some kind of super fans who love their club more than any other fan

Agree with this. Can’t stand all this best fans in the world shite etc etc. It’s a load of nonsense. It’s for the kids. Can’t believe I’m agreeing with sofajester.

How the fuck is that condescending? Your support is very good, I say truthfully but begrudgingly.
I, personally, don’t think we’re superior or more passionate than you, but you can shove your attitude where the sun don’t shine.

Some of them don’t take compliments very well. Get accused of fakery and snobbery, amongst all the other tripe.

As a side note, on his first match day PIF Director Yasir Al-Rumayyan was delighted when the smell of week-old camel dung greeted his nostrils and congratulated his hosts for recreating the welcoming smell. Amanda Staveley nodded vigorously and gave him a double thumbs up.

Little did he know that Newcastle fans had just been voted the smelliest in the UK and no scent had been pumped throughout the stadium.

Shame we didn’t get a trophy for this. Would have ended the drought.

He’s a touchy one, wouldn’t let it get to you.

Both clubs have fantastic support. Mags always have the bigger numbers though. Lots of variables but can’t argue with the numbers.

Attendances are 99% of the time a dick waving contest anyways. What matters is results, leagues and league positions

What matters is simply being a football fan of whatever team a person supports. All the rest of it is par for whatever course it takes.
Newcastle and Sunderland have seen massive declines in support at the stadiums over the years just as much as they've seen massive resurgences of support at the stadiums all dependent on whatever situation raises its head.

However, there'll always be oneupmanship attempts based on the past by both clubs' fans but it obviously doesn't just stop with the rivalry in the northeast, as we know.

Some fans will hate but the majority will simply banter and it's this banter that keeps interest between both clubs relevant.

Just on for a bit craic/debate mate. Nowt wrong with that. I’m sure I’ve seen fans from other clubs on here aswell.

Paranoid ???

I hope for your sake you’re right (not for mine obviously), but I think it will be somewhere in the middle. Ie, challenging for top 6 or 4 in 2-3 years.
Btw, loving the lost magpie craic on my header. Don’t know if this is standard for most mags on here (never noticed) but whoever thought of it. 👍🏼😆

Interesting how you by-passed the first bit:

"So we have had Lascelles and others in Saudi, dancing with swords. Now the “leaked” third kit which the fans have embraced (on some deluded notion they will earn millions from it), now the pre season tour to Saudi (in ridiculous heat).

If the owners weren’t rich then outcry would be incredible. But they are rich and so they embrace it."

and went straight to the end result of challenging for top 6/4. Clear evidence that they can do whatever they please in your eyes as long as you are challenging.

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:

Has what’s happening in Yemen completely passed you by? How about Khashoggi’s murder him in Turkey? I won’t even mention the involvement in 9/11?
 
From Sunderland as well...jeez

I wonder if the people of Yemen would share a similar opinion if Mike Ashley took over as ruler of Saudi Arabia “oh no this man will only spend what the country makes and will have us on zero hour contracts, how dare he, bring back bombings of civilians”

Oh how the skunks were oppressed as their training ground hadn’t been updated
 
Raker said:
Yes, and I wouldn’t be happy if Sunderland did it tbh. But going for Portugal colours for a team mostly Portuguese is one thing. Going for a murderous, blood money, outright barbaric state colours is another. Kids and woman wearing the colours of a state where if your gay your thrown off a building? Wash, wash, wash.

Portugal is our oldest ally too...

Can't influence who owns them & it's Mike's fault for selling to them.

It’s desperation at its worst to try and justify it all. They are using every excuse to try and convince themselves and everyone that they aren’t the despots they are made out to be, rather they are just misunderstood

They begged, literally begged for them to buy them. Wonder how they'd view Ashley if he sold to someone legit
