Also the Saudis are close allies and we rely on them financially across multiple routes, not least arms sales. How can we disagree with the war in Yemen when it’s our weapons and systems they’re using?

Spurs fans were desperate for the Saudis to buy them. Before the sanctions all of the blue ticks were saying PIF should ditch Newcastle and buy Chelsea. Fuck them.

LEGALLY

It was also before the invention of the radio and the teabag had just been released. If they want to cling to that whilst I enjoy watching our new £40m midfielder score a back heel volley in yet another victory then that’s fine. 1-9 FTM MLF

Aye may as well call it what it is. A fun thing people do on twitter when people are jumping on the moral high ground is pull up their old tweets. Mackems pre takeover have zero mention of Yemen, Human rights, Khashoggi etc etc. So the only reason they suddenly “care” is fairly obvious. Also lots of fans of other clubs, including the mackems have tweets stating how excited they are about KSA investment in their club. It’s so transparent. We’ve already learned where football is concerned they have no morals. If they were that bothered about “sportswashing” they wouldn’t have been doing the “Poznań” in front of Manchester United fans.

They’re losing their minds like

They’re not bothered marra. One thing I’ve noticed is they’ve really started to ramp up the KSA/Terrorist narrative, equating anything that terrorists have ever done to the Saudis. So if you go to KSA you can walk down the street without seeing someone getting thrown off a building for being gay etc etc Let them crack on, they’d swap places in a heartbeat.

Aye a few of the lads in that thread are Basically saying they should ban the NUFC thread because it’s bad for their health. It’s about to get a lot worse lads

Quick browse on Ready To Groom and they’re hoping that the UK diplomatic relationship with Saudi Arabia disintegrates so that we get sanctioned. Not realising : A. We’d simply be owned by the Reubens/PCP instead rather than a Chelsea situation. B. If the UK relationship with KSA, who are our allies, was to get so bad as to impose sanctions on KSA owned assets we’d be seeing scenes a million times worse than what we’re seeing in Yemen or Ukraine because it would need to be a global nuclear conflict. Still as long as the mags divvent win nowt marra! C. It’s not going to happen. It’s a public investment fund legally separate from the government. There is no correlation between that and Roman Abramovic. D. They are the beneficiaries of dodgy Russian money. KLD is as dodgy as they come.

Haha Should I repaint my Russian Fuzz Factory 7 Ukraine colours? People are trying to cancel Dostoevsky and all sorts. It’s madness!

The last derby game we played was their first team against our U23s In the Checkatrade Trophy. They always seem to admit that, since then they’ve got far worse & been conned time & time again by their owners. If they played our kids again they’d lose.

Hope you put a bet on

EDGY

I hope Chelsea put 10 past Norwich out of protest.

Well if they can’t manage it on £20,000 they’ll just have to forfeit the fixture won’t they? It could have been worse, the other Russian clubs were banned outright.

2-0 to us Wood & Maxi.
