Sportswashed murderer deflecting right here.
Doing exactly what the head choppers want.

Newcastle have a longstanding interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja, but would only be able to sign one Chelsea player on loan and do not have the money to do multiple permanent deals due to the strict budget constraints imposed on manager Eddie Howe.
Newcastle’s main problem with landing their first choice targets this summer has been down to wage demands as well as limited transfer funds. Despite being labelled the richest club in the world because of the vast wealth of majority stakeholders, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the club is wrestling with Financial Fairplay rule.
The slow progress in landing new sponsorship deals following the takeover last October, has also hampered recruitment in the regime’s first summer transfer window.
Newcastle have tried and failed to sign several players in the last couple of months -privately as well as publicly - because of the budget issues and their inability to offer European football.
Sweden international Aleksandar Isak was a priority target at the end of last season, but the club scrapped plans to sign the player when Real Sociedad insisted they would have to activate the player’s release clause of £76m and pay the 22-year-old in excess of £200,000-a-week.
That is also a potential stumbling block with loan moves too. Both Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi earn considerably more than Newcastle’s current top earner, Kieran Trippier, who is on just over £100,000-a-week on Tyneside.
That means Chelsea would have to cover a large percentage of the wages of both players if they were sent on loan to the North East, which could make them reluctant to do so.
Struggling to pay the wages to loan another PL club's squad player. Am sure they were in the same position almost exactly 12 months ago with Hamza Choudhury.
we're the richest club in the world!
That Pedro guy is probs on his way there as not in Watford squad at all tonight at brum

Complicit.
We've referred to you as scum for a good while. You're confirming it.

I’m a bit thrown by that as women can drive in Saudi
I’ve wished the lad the best in his crusade, and hope he gets the outcome he’s fighting for. If I can’t be arsed to join him on that crusade and that makes me complicit, then you’re right. Fuk me, you have made me see the light, I’ve only just realised, I’m a sportswasher. I’ve been roped in by MBS and his cohorts to paint them in a good light. I’m not going to the match anymore until those sheisters are gone.
Thanks Visage, you’re a goodun.

He'll make more of a difference than you, apologist germ.
The bright lights of Chelsea maybe starting to move his attention away from you, not to mention the LIV, remember, your odious club cost MBS as much as one golfer, they saw you lot for what you are, desperate attention seeking amoeba.
That’s the thing though, he’ll not make more of a difference than me. The Saudis will change their barbaric ways when they want to. Not when a few Sunderland supporters want them to. I’m not sticking up for the Saudis (how could I). I’m just saying it how it is.

How it is?
The Saudis don't want to change, they don't like western culture. Never have.
You keep burying your head up a camels arse.

Caulkin's latest attempt at crawling up the mags arseholes. Quite a big two weeks in terms of the direction of that club, and all doesn't look as it should. Rather than asking anything awkward, he's busy capturing fan's jubilant feelings at being taken over by some of the most evil and disgusting people on the planet, marking a new low for world football in the process:
Ask them to describe their connection to St James’ and there is a faltering. “It’s everything,” Thomas Concannon says. “It’s like church — and I was brought up a good Catholic!” says Graeme Robson. “My vocabulary isn’t good enough.” “It’s really hard to describe,” says Concannon. “But I couldn’t be without this. This is what I do.”
Sometimes the doing is agony. Robson has been coming since the late 1960s. In 2019, when Rafa Benitez left as manager, he left as well, along with thousands of others. Wor Flags stepped away. “I packed my ticket in,” he says. “It sounds bizarre, but the thing I love more than anything apart from family, I started to hate. Because of Ashley. It was 14 years of nastiness.
“I try to reconcile it with myself but I can’t. Something I loved so much, I despised. I’d get annoyed at the people still coming. I just thought, ‘How can you support these bastards?’. I don’t mean the players. They’d done nothing wrong. But then as soon as the takeover happened, it was like a switch. It was instant.”
And now? “To me, it just feels like the (Kevin) Keegan era,” Robson says. “When Keegan walked through the door as manager, it was, ‘What the fuck?’. I’m getting tingly just thinking about it. That’s what the takeover was like. That’s what it’s done. You know, I find myself crying a lot. I feel like crying now. I do. I get really, really… it feels like a new dawn.”
And at a few minutes to three on this muggy afternoon on Tyneside, with the home team about to play Nottingham Forest on the first day of the Premier League season, a banner is stretched along the length of the Gallowgate, riffing on Nina Simone. “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for NUFC… and we’re feeling good,” it reads.
I don't get how Mike Ashley is continually portrayed as something uniquely awful by so many of them.
In the time this fellas been going, they've had 4 seasons under Keegan and 3 seasons with Robson where they were top 6, and they still didn't win anything.
They've done 16 seasons in the 2nd flight since 1960, only 2 of which were under Ashley.
And aside from Keegan / Robson, they've only been 6th or higher twice since 1960, and one of those seasons was under Ashley (delivered by Pardew, who they absolutely hated).
What was so awful about the Ashley era for this bloke? If anything it should have been a slight improvement on what he was used to. You never needed a season ticket prior to 92, and you've got to wonder how many games a season these people actually went to when the team was shit. Somehow or other they've got an absolutely warped perspective, anyway.

Apparently she had shown support using twitter for someone else who had been campaigning for women's driving rights. She also committed the crime of sharing other views on twitter which are at odds with the great and decent values of the Saudis. She is a student al Leeds University and had returned for a holiday.

I don’t think it was just about results and league positions regards hatred towards Ashley. Little things like appointing Kinnear (twice) when he was on deaths door and had been out of the game for years. Renaming the cathedral, the sports direct arena ( not st James’ sports direct arena btw ) and not paying for the privelidge of having his brand cheapen the look of said cathedral. Telling Jonas he was sacked after battling through cancer and getting back to full fitness. Blatantly lying to Keegan (proven in court) and fans on a regular basis. There’s plenty more reasons but I’d be here all night and I want to go to bed. But if I’m being honest it didn’t make a difference to me, apart from not looking forward to watching the match because the football was shite. I was still having a good day out with my mates no matter what.
