That's probably why I said middle eastern culture and not Saudi Arabian culture then, isn't it?

I'm starting to think you actually can't read now. Hopeless


Mad take, that. So in your opinion it's simply not possible to disagree with the owners of the club and attend the match?

Did you get to a game when those two chancers took you down to league one? Did you feel like agreed with everything they did and said by default? Or could you attend the game and still hold your own opinion on things?
Of course i was there, a lot of people were taken in by those 2 twats but they were soon found out, i wonder how long it will take for you scruffy twats to realise these saudies are not all you thought they were?
 
I've answered every question asked, except one from Pants which I missed and he doesn't seem to want to ask again.

I've only insulted Skylon, because he constantly lies about everything I've said. To be fair, I've been incredibly patient with him.

As I've said before, I'm here to discuss the takeover and all it entails with rival fans to gain their perspective. I've not defended, deflected or ignored anything the Saudis have done, despite liars like Skylon constantly saying I have.

I disagree that my club has sold it's soul too, it didn't under Ashley and it won't under these
What a wanksock you are lad
 
And there has been 5 comments on here so far and not a single bit of compassion

Don’t be an idiot.

Mag response to everything. Idiot scumbag mag in question could have refrained from pressing submit instead defend and deflect.

It’s a given. Any right thinking person recognises that a 34 year sentence is abhorrent. How long until on or you lot say she deserves it?

And yet when exile and others show their compassion for stuff like this, they kick off and call him obsessed. They just pick and choose what to attack with
 
Imagine having the richest owners in the world and joint owned by the Reuben Brothers who are worth £16BN and you’re buying Championship players for £20M. After all the bluster about them winning the PL within 5 years etc and they’re no where near. Bedsheets out soon!
Nah, i don't think they realise they have been taken for the fools we already knew they were mate.
 
What was it like in the middle east before wahabism? Genuine question.

If it was all sunshine and roses, acceptance and tolerance, I'll happily change my thousands of years to a couple of hundred. I doubt it was though.

And besides, it doesn't change my belief that an empty St James' Park would change anything in the region
It will be empty soon enough when this all comes crashing down.
I am enjoying the football (Saturday was more of an effort like) but I'm not one to turn a blind eye to the rest of it that comes with it.

I'm here to discuss the takeover warts and all, not to defend or deflect from anything the Saudis have done, but it appears that a good few of you don't want that and would prefer to lie about everything I've said
But you are defending the take over, everything is rosy at the shit tip according to you, you daft twat
When have I said I couldn't care less about human rights abuses? Please, pack it in man.

I want the funding at the club, obviously. Money rules the game now, without it we're going nowhere. I don't want human rights abuses to continue, or to be associated with my club. Would much prefer none shithouse owners to take over with decent financial clout
so money is the be all and end all?, you have sold your sold for a f***ing League cup?

Sports washing in my view is best described by Matthew syed who spoke out ages ago about abra at Chelsea.

Name a cultural asset in the north east that we cherish more than our football clubs, how much do they mean to all of us, what do they represent and how much of our identity is wrapped up in them. Folk like apple phones and Disney but the level don’t come close. This cultural importance , and the meaning this carriers across the world is what they are buying.


However it is a total one way street , what cultural assets are up for sale in Saudi Arabia (zero is my guess).
As in the documentary bitter lake (on bbc) the king of suad told Roosevelt , bring all your dollars and make your profit but leave our culture totally alone and untouched , this meeting (gun boat diplomacy) has set the tone for all western interactions.
Totally. No Newcastle fan should and can deny that the Saudi state owns them, despite reassurances from the premier league (the same premier league who Newcastle fans were claiming corrupt before the takeover) and if you were to, for example, say jeff bezos of amazon was to start policies where he didn’t employ gay people or women weren’t allowed to work at amazon then there would be a huge outcry from users and likely a huge boycott of using the service. Sportswashing works with football clubs because it’s a complete non-negotiable
