I think Howe would only take the job once he’s achieved his ambitions as a club manager. It would almost be like retirement taking it now.

 

Give it Brucey. I believe he's currently available…

I mean I get this totally, and I understand why the thick gammon contingent act like this, but there are actually (inevitably) a fair few sensible mackems on the SMB too. When we were taken over, my question specifically to them was do you seriously think your fans would have acted differently, would have taken the moral highground and boycotted the club etc. I didn't even goad them over the fact that really imo their fans are, shall we say, a bit less culturally refined than most other groups of fans (as evidenced by multiple episodes of blatant racism and being Brexiters etc). I just don't understand how any truthful fan could deny they would act exactly the same if it were them. Anyway, I didn't get a single sensible response from any of them, got loads of predictable abuse, and needless to say won't be posting there again in a hurry. You now get the impression that any reasonable discussion the sensible fan have and they are outed as a "Mag" and hounded from then on. So more reasoned mackems just avoid the thread altogether and it is just an ech chamber for the complete arseholes. 

 

I mean, it's really odd as well because we welcome mackems here with open arms.

 

It’s laudable that you tried to engage in a rational debate, tbh that place just looks and feels like a loony bin to me. The football forum mostly reads like crazy shit to me, the only thing that varies is the volume with which it’s either muttered or screamed by the inmates

Reliably informed that this is something Ashley was keen on when he was looking for buyers for us. He was trying to sell the club as an operating company but wanted to own the stadium and charge the operating company to use the stadium.

 

 

Thank fuck for that. Look at what a cunt he was at Rangers when he still had his chubby hooks into their commercial rights. I couldn’t think of a worse landlord for the club (with the possible exception of Steve Bruce)

Are they watching the World Cup?

Do they watch the Premier League?

 

It’s not whataboutery it’s the exact same thing NUFC fans are “engaging” in. The argument would then be extent, so a match going fan is more involved than someone watching on TV, sure but at the end of the day they’re the ones turning these things into black and white discussions and therefore it’s a right or wrong thing there’s no middle ground or lesser level of involvement.
 

The whataboutism shite is simply because they don’t want to have an actual discussion they just want to use this whole thing to retake their imaginary moral high ground. They’re welcome to it while they watch their utterly irrelevant poxy little club and we can watch one of the best teams in world football (not yet but future). 

The sad truth is that their sole ambition in “taking the moral high ground” is to delegitimise any success we have, so they don’t fall behind in their imaginary competition with us. We know it and they know it and it’s pathetic and laughable, but its all theyve got.
 

They don’t give a shit about Kashoggi, human rights, the war in Yemen,  the middle east, the rights of women, the LBGT+ community in Saudi, burning fossil fuels etc. And they never have. If we’d been bought by the Chinese they’d suddenly be experts on the repression of the Uyghurs and Tibet, having previously shown fuck all interest in them.
 

If they didn’t see everything through incredibly bitter, jealous and parochial eyes, they wouldn’t say a single word against the Saudi government, because they’re racist and ignorant as fuck and don’t actually give a shit about any of it.  It only matters because its us, how sad. I’d bet your average mackem couldn’t point to Saudi Arabia or the Yemen on a world atlas if their life depended on it.

People are allowed to ask questions, yes, just as I'm allowed to make inferences about their attitudes based on what they ask and how. And I genuinely don't think it should be normal for someone to ask where someone's from, get several replies that answer their question perfectly well - from "Hackney" through to "I am born here and am British" - and still keep asking questions like "where do you really come from?" and "when did you first come here?". Even if it's not done with malicious intent, it's definitely fucking weird.  

Indeed, grilling someone where they’re “really from” is guaranteed to make them feel uncomfortable and like they don’t belong, and given the interrogation was based on her ethnicity, I’d say that was absolutely racist.

Some purveyors of both codes of rugby still call them football 

 

What is termed football in this country was widely called soccer up until the early 80s iirc  

It was all football until some posh twat picked up the ball and ran with it. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what they call it, they’re probably Chelsea fans

“Sarker”. It’s called football (because you don’t pick up the ball with your hands)

Every single Saffa I've ever met has been a cunt, or an hilariously entitled Daddy's little princess.

 

Every single one of them. Barely managed to get through the second date with one lass, at the end of the night I called time on the fling, used the "no spark" get out clause and subsequently ghosted her. Weeks of bitchy messages, passive aggressive (and sometimes outright aggressive) texts and one brutal string of expletives left on a voice message.  

 

Now, this isn't a "Dave is a PLAYAH", it's more of a "All South African women are fucking crazy."

Actually tbh I just remembered I was talking to a South African in a professional capacity on Teams just yesterday, who also seems like a lovely person and has probably saved hundreds of lives there.

 

Alright then, except Rayvin's mate and my medical advisor, who knows of any nice South Africans? 

I know loads. It sounds like all the boer heritage cunts went to the UK. Lucky you…

I’d be sad if Howe left us for England but not concerned.  The people running the club now are more than capable of finding a top class replacement.  The mackems don’t need to worry either, Tony Mowbray won’t make the short list (or the long list) if that happens
