Funny how the rest of the countries “stay in your lane, you Geordies” sentiments come out in times like this. We’re not allowed to actually enjoy anything, players won’t want to come because the north is a shithole and we’re all too stupid to grasp that the Saudis have done some bad shit. I’d want to be cut adrift from the lot of them if I didn’t want to categorically smash all their football teams to bits in the next 4 years.

How does this keep getting better?!

Not a iota of criticism of the interest of a tyrant in taking over a football club

In case you missed it yesterday Weve been in bed with these fuckers for years, and post Brexit we need them more than ever. Threaten to take up a champions league space and suddenly the media has a conscience about the whole issue

I think these NHS workers are getting a bit too big for their boots. #stoptheclap

The other offer is still on the table in the same way that Glenn Roeder is still scouting Dirk Kuyt.

Still torn...I had to have several large whiskies before I could face the Tory cunts in the street tonight though so am currently in a “LETS SIGN HAALAND AND WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN SIX MONTHS YOU JEALOUS BITTER CUNTS” frame of mind

To be fair, that’s all Steve Wraith’s doing. Pretending to be Colombian by speaking in stilted English ffs

2+2 = twelvety

If anyone else is so bored they’re looking up pics of Olive from On The Buses in the nip, just know that it does pass.

Cans for breakfast?

We should buy Norwich for a laugh. Push their tinpot ground into the river.

Until it turns into How to Make a Murderer Pt. II.

Well, they'll need to make some new telly eventually, why not start with a classic sitcom.

As well as the fact the country was created and the ruling family were put in power by Western interests very much including the UK.

Oh this year I'm off to Sunny Mecca Y Viva Allahu Akbar! I'm taking the Saudia Airways 'plane Y Viva Allahu Akbar! If you'd like to stone a battyman, in some cool casbah And meet repressed women by the score, their heads are rolling on the floor!

Every time i see a picture of the Tyne Bridge my heart just beats that little bit faster It makes me so proud to be a Geordie Arab owners of our club or not, I love Newcastle, the city the people, the buildings the culture the way we talk...and well just every thing about the place. It is with out doubt the best place in the world to be from.

He's a fucking knacker, mind. Honestly don't get it but he's on talksport so maybe it's self explanatory? I think they think he's some sort of wit? By their standards he probably is but he's genuinely a bit of a boring cunt iyam.

Like any of their players could accord to live in Newcastle.

Completely forgot he even signed for us, he had that little impact

This seems to bringing everyone with even the most tenuous link to the club out of the woodwork

Wow it’s such good logic. The investment into Chelsea really saw a big benefit for Fulham, you can totally see their point. Fucking deluded wankers. The only plus for them is if the Saudis do invest heavily and make Newcastle even better as a city they may be able to use that to attract more League One players to live in Newcastle.

and to David Squires point, they were good and enjoyable to watch somewhat recently so there’d be no reason to stop following them if the Saudis had bought them.

Tbf though they are long suffering and deserve success

All it is to him is Man United, once again being pushed further down the pecking order. Which for a glory supporter must make him feel pretty stupid.

Bollocks does it [/img]

Probably thinks it’s a kind of kebab.

"t'CT is thy neighbour". This has got legs, I can tell.

This is worth a lockdown perusal on specifically why the world and most of all the US has been in hoc to the Saudis since the end of the WW2...

Too right.

But then you will discover that CT is your neighbour...

Exactly. To me its just fairly pointless gesturing, so the bloke can go on twitter and say he’s done something. Maybe he should grow some balls instead. I’m going to make a proper protest and stay away from the ground completely. That’ll show them.

"Uncertain future" Steve bruces future is probably the most certain thing in the world in its current state.

The Saudis are savages. Trump’s a cunt. I’m glad I’m a white, middle-aged English bloke. We are going to be the best football team in the world. There. Shall I post a picture of some nice titties so we can all calm down?

Justin Barnes on the phone to try to get him to do some good PR for Mike in case the spotlight turns to him accepting Saudi money. Imagine being so disliked that one of the people you use for PR is Richard Keys, a man exiled in QATAR because nobody in his homeland can abide him.

Keys really is a desperate cunt. So he’s accepted and signed everything to do with the Saudi bid, but he’d rather some other bid that Keys made up in his head would succeed. Sounds like Keys is already trying to paint Mike Ashley as a bloke trying to do good, he’s selling to the Saudis hairy hands, just let it go.

That’s never Olive off On the Buses?

The same fella who also oversaw Scunthorpe's relegation to League Two? They must have had a lot of competition for him.

There is no need to broaden the debate - I agree about a lot of the other stuff that has been said more broadly about America and its foreign policy. But the legal system comparison was plainly nonsense.

I would like to express my agreement with this statement through the medium of meme.

As has been said by most of us on here, it’s entirely possible to criticise them, and the horrific practices and beliefs they have, whilst also applying the same criticism to “more enlightened” states. The US is in a fucking tailspin towards all out civic breakdown if they carry on with The Tangerine, and he’s not the sole cause of that, it’s been building for years. They had a chance with Obama to step back from the brink and be decent, but we know how that worked out. If we’re not careful, we’ll find ourselves in a similar mess too, I fear. There’s a worldwide outbreak of cuntishness, and I don’t see anyone in power, or with the ability to get in to power, doing a great deal to stop it.

Have we bought anyone yet?

No fucker is defending Saudi btw. Im saying America are a pack of cunts too but no one seems to give a fuck because we are desensitised to it

I wasn't saying nowt, i just wanted to post a picture of a candle penis

The media put out complete nonsense like this, simply slagging off Newcastle and the North East, then expect us to fall in line with what they’re telling us our views and actions should be. Arrogant fucking belittling pricks.

Remember when Thaksin Shinawatra bought Citeh with what was obviously money embezzeled from Thailand there was a couple of reports alluding to it at the time and then nothing. He actually bought the club with stolen money and when he sold it on the Abu Dhabi group and made a huge profit again no one gave a fuck.

I don't think that articles right at all. Firstly while I agree that the actions of the Saudi's in their own county is far from something I approve of, I don't see how it's remotely the fault of anything they might own. People haven't died in Yeman so that we can win anything. They are totally separate things. I'm not burying my head in the sand about things they have done, it's deplorable. But they certainly haven't been done in the cause of Newcastle United. If being bought by the Saudi's leads to us winning things I won't feel any more hollow about it than I would have if it had come from the money of Ashley or John Hall. There's an element of wishing it could come from the fans owning the club and growing organically but that is never going to happen unless all of professional football is completely overhauled. And that certainly isn't going to happen any time soon. For me the best that could come out of this would be that we move forward and win something as a club and that it also highlights the wrongdoings of the owners and puts pressure on them to change.

First sourdough loaf. I mean, it's "rustic" but I'm happy enough with it. Haven't had a taste yet cos it's just out the oven.
