NUFC/Sportswashing - Summer 2022

[geordiedan]

Go and find another club?? I guess if you don't embrace the cult of Saudi and their murderous regime you are not welcome! Just like I said, brainwashed to full effect.

I hope it’s more successful than the Ashley protests.

Hmmm

You had to edit that profound statement?

 

[Thatheaderman]

I'm sure, if they were brutally honest with themselves, every single mag would admit to wanting to be in Sunderland's position instead. It's obvious, isn't it?

Well I wouldn't swap wi yous. Ya brainwashed man.

You mean like standing outside the Sports Direct shop inadvertently holding a Sports Direct bag. Nothing beats free advertising

Fair play to these

“We’ve got to be patient,” Hird says. “Little by little. We’re not saying tomorrow we’re getting rid of them but if you ask me at the end of the day we’ll get them out. The longer they stay they’ll stain the reputation of Newcastle – the club and the region.”

That's the fella who's launched the Hailstones in the desert fanzine. Good set of Lads

He’s incredulous at the idea of demonstrating against the owners! They literally did it to their last one! And once again, conflating owners from a country, with owners ruling a country!

 

[geordiedan]

They are in denial, simple as that. But now the penny has dropped they are starting to backtrack on everything, manager, players etc. Desperation is creeping in but they are finding it hard to admit and accept. It’s like the Fonz being able to say the word sorry on Happy Days

Used to love that show. Happy days indeed.

 

[Mackemed]

Slates the Glazers but said fuck all on the Saudis. Went down a lot in my view.

I feel he's got gradually worse as a pundit and is now pretty shite.

You’re being very naive if you think this lad is a nufc supporter.

Sportswashing Derby. I like that.

 

[geordiedan]

I agree Howe is doing a half decent job for you to date, however, and this is where your delusion kicks in, I can categorically tell you that he was not your second choice. And although you won’t admit it, you know the same

Categorically, interesting. You one of these ITK folk.

The comment’s from all the mags on this is the exact definition of sport washing, they are completely implicated in it all and their very existence is now being frowned upon.
Its actually brilliant to watch, if they sign this lad from Watford its going to be hilarious.

 

[geordiedan]

Everyone was passes a negative comment lives in their heads - Agbonlahor, Merson, Simon Jordan, Ferdinand, Tariq Panja....but everyone says something positive is adored - see Di Marco and Ben Jacobs.

That’s probably true of every fan base tbf. See Caulkin, Downie and Holt, Crafton.

Aye they’ll be giving him the kind of reception their owners gave to gay people in Saudi. Definitely worth a tenner on Grealish to get booked or sent off if he starts.

Or score

Plenty more examples of that kind of thing over on twitter

It’s bullshit really. History suggests you can’t keep an unhappy player. If RM want him - they get him - simple as that.

Any player at any club in the world is going to yes to Real/Barca. It’s that simple. This isn’t a Bruno/nufc thing. Btw he won’t go......yet.

No escape clause hahaha sounds like he really wants to be there.

No escape clause shows commitment from the off. Having an escape clause shows doubts about being there. Hope that clears that one up for you.

He’s overrated from the little bits I’ve seen of him.Another Jermaine Jenas with his flicks and 10 yard passes.

 

[shrek]

3 players signed, 2 from relegated clubs. 1 a gk, 1 a 13 from 71 striker... If this was Ashley there'd be protests! But today its "the project".

 

[geordiedan]

He's the best player they've ever seen . He's started 13 games for them. 13.

I can't see Real Madrid being interested in a 25 year old who has had a couple of years at Lyon and a dozen games for Newcastle...I love Eddie Howe coming out and making a fuss of how he isn't interested in selling him to Real Madrid .

If Real Madrid want really want him, he's gone, and there's nowt Eddie Howe will be doing to stop it.

In other news, Alex Neil has come out and told Man City that we have no intention of selling Luke Onien to them.

He might be the best player he’s seen at the club tbf. The twitter lad might only be a teenager. If he is, he’s not had much to go off over the years.
