Jesus wept, do you report anyone on here with a black and white view? How many is that you’ve gone running to the mods about, including me? You spend all your day looking at Twitter for something to report. You only post about Newcastle, NEVER your own club. You’re an embarrassment to the decent posters on here.
You claim to have me on ignore, but someone will “tell you” I’ve replied.
Take a day off man, ffs.

Fitting that he’s a baby considering he follows 14 year olds on Twitter.

Not more lies, surely? Quote where I said I had the same beliefs as them please.

What I did say is that they want the club to be successful, I'm well on board with that notion



They want to raise their profile and image on a global scale. Same reason for the Man City and PSG takeovers

No. I'm separating the human rights record from the club. Two different actions

They are linked by ownership they can’t be separated morally. That’s what sportswashing is
 
I bet if I went back to before October 7th I'd not be able to find many If any posts about human rights issues in Saudi Arabia.

Had this been any other club or Sunderland themselves there would be little to nothing said about it on here.

As a fanbase we Newcastle fans should not defend the actions of the saudi government or MBS (which 99% don't anyway) while supporting our club, we as fans can do little else.

The simple fact is though you lot never cared about what goes on in Saudi before but you do now, simply because your rivals could be playing European football in a few years and are going to leave you even further in the dust than we already have, it's faux outrage to justify the fume.

Search Saudi Arabia on here and you'll plenty of threads pre your takeover.
You just keep telling yourself that its just the bitter Mackems though and there's no wrongdoing. You ARE Saudi Arabia, bon appetit.

The human rights record of Saudi Arabia doesn't often come up at the match to be honest, but if it does, I'll condemn it

It comes up every match. That's what your matches are all about now. You're either too much of a coward to back up your claims of condemnation or you're a liar and you're perfectly happy for kids to be bombed if you might get some entertainment out of it. More likely a bit of both.

No they're not. It's a game of football, same as it ever was. You're confusing and conflating my support of one thing, NUFC, for support of an entirely separate thing, the human rights record of Saudi Arabia. That's your issue, not mine

Ha ha ha. 'All pulling in the same direction' doesn't sound like a condemnation

I don't condemn the investment in my football club. I condemn their human rights record. They aren't the same thing
