I've said it many times over the years, I work for Aramco. They actually have paid for everything I have physically, do I agree with what happens within the country? Hell no.

But the hypocrisy is unreal on here, if you can't see it for what it is then I'm sorry.

If it was you're club, if it was Manchester United even the percentage of fans of either club that would be over the moon, would be extremely high. To say otherwise, well, is absolutely bullshit.

Not saying that the average football fan is not a shallow creature. They are and so are you.
But trust me, it is far from “absolute bullshit” for me to say that I would make a personal stand. Would it make any difference? Almost certainly not….but I would be able to look at myself in the mirror, knowing that I didn’t let the promise of ‘silverware’ to entice me from the path of moral correctness….which is exactly what YOU and NUFC fans prancing around wearing tea-towels have done.
Employment security is one thing….CHOOSING to continue following a football club even when you know the background is something you CAN do something about on a personal level.

You always felt this way or just since Nufc?

Can't help but notice that there's been a lack of outrage before.

What's your feelings on noncery and racism?

The Saudis do that as well. Just two more of the services they bring to the table.

Spot on. Whatever distaste I have for Newcastle fans’complete lack of awareness over this, I reserve my main contempt for the likes of Onwurah, Lavery, Forbes, Caulkin, Simon Bird and the like. Their reticence and/or support of this eternally shames them.
And by the way, have we heard what big NUFC fan and former Middle East mover & shaker Tony Blair thinks about it all?
I also wonder about David Milliband who had a wobbler over Paulo di Canio. Mr M is President & CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The IRC website includes a video titled “ David Milliband witnessing the crisis in Yemen”. He had plenty to say on the di Canio thing but seems a bit shy about NUFC’s grotesque owners.
Absolute spineless two-faced frauds, the lot of ‘em.

I concur. Expected more but not surprised.

Oh. look. Here's another one, straight off the subs bench. Another sportswashed, morally bankrupt buffoon. Anyone want to open a sweep on how long this one lasts?

Or instead of taking your faux outrage and trying to buy billboards etc you could actually stand up to your own convictions and support an actual cause rather than raising money to try to get one over on the mags?

Tbh, being its you if Staveley buys you a pint you'll tow the line.

Faux outrage, really, you obviously don't have the faintest idea what these medieval savages do to other human beings. It would make you puke if you bothered to look into it. Your new masters.
