You know it's not going away don't you? Just accept it and ignore those posts because snidey posts like that make you look, like your name, foolish.
This sums up many NUFC fans (based on my experience). Can't enjoy their own "success" but instead what others to fail.

Aye. I think when they comment on it, in their own mind they are deflecting it back to Exile as if he's somehow the bad one here.

I actually think the issue runs much deeper.

Of the 52k screaming Jawdess, statistics suggest that 1.5% are gay (source ONS). Then when you consider the wider fan base there must be 1000+ households where this is causing tension? I am not going to be the cliche and say I have loads of gay friends but of two examples one left Singapore because of their views on homosexuality and another has turned down work trips to the ME because of it. I must admit I work in a fairly liberal setting so I am not stereotypical but I am the father/uncle/godfather/family friend of someone with a gay son/daughter I couldn't gush over NUFC when owned by Saudi. I am just really surprised there is not more dissent.

To be fair to them forgetting they had any principles or morals resulted in their owners rewarding them with Chris Wood and Dan Burn. So they’re winners really

That comment was more for people in general (especially a good few on here) rather than just you.

I took it that way but my last "claim" was copy and pasted by deluded......but my first interaction with PIF was when they were less than 10 staff. They are huge now with lots of excellent people....mostly Liverpool/Barca fans as it happens amongst the senior staff. They just took on a tonne of grads and their heads may be turned. Who knows. Very few supported Chelsea or City in Asian in 2000 but now they are everywhere.
