Despite my dislike of him, I love Jenas's vs Man United in the 2-6.

Christian Poulsen, arguably the big 6 as he played in Holland as well. I Googled that btw.

Oliver seems to have a very low threshold for something being ‘classy’... Not to say it’s not obviously the right thing to do by Everton, it’s just that they’ve probably only done something that will become inescapable in a week a or so. https://www.football365.com/news/football-charity-coronavirus-opinion

Belarus league is great like.

Walton was a shit Aaron Spear.

Seen some cunt walking round earlier with a half and half Disney/Warner Bros scarf, embarrassing.

Disney are a public company, hence why they can buy shares so easily. Having a bit of a mare with my choice of words here A football club is a community club, look back at that Bobby Robson quote, "What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It's not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city." You can't compare a football club to normal companies I wish people could hear themselves arguing this position. Barking mad.

Can you take this shite to the takeover thread please, this one is for personal grievances only

Miss, miss! Miguel went to Amsterdam and observed the local laws, miss! Fucking losers.

Why do people have some weird urge to like the owners? The 13 years of Ashley's neglectful ownership has engendered the defensive discourse you're seeing across our fanbase It's a symbolic break from an era of failure, no real surprise there's a desperation to repel anyone or anything that seeks to undermine what may be before it even gets going People should remember the glee that greeted Ashley's arrival because nobody could be worse than Shepherd and maybe temper themselves a bit. It's not some sort of betrayal to view potential new owners with a significant degree of suspicion.

Absolutely. Which football club are they buying again? The one you didn’t care about last month The UK Government are buying us are they? According to the logic of "nobody complained about the Saudis buying Sheff United!!1!", they already own us.

Never seen Wigan play at home?

"What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors..." "Can I stop you there Bobby, it's a business like any other and should be treated as such." Didn't expect this position to be warmly embraced by Newcastle supporters but here we are.

Aye, its the worst argument of all time. Awful. Not really the worst is it though If you think the takeover should not be allowed to go through on moral grounds (which btw is a stance anyone is entitled to and it's understandable) but then you happily view/consume content/products in which they also have investments it's hypocrisy, now some people are comfortable being selective and again that's their prerogative but the hypocrisy can be called out No it is not hypocrisy at all. These things are not comparable. I have to put petrol in my car, and even if i didn't I get the bus, so that consumes petrol. I have to get home from town, so I use an uber. There are things that you use in a society because you have to. The argument that I should quit using uber is ridiculous. If we applied that logic unilaterally, nobody could disagree with anything. Hate capitalism mate, well you've got an iphone! Check mate! Take away the essential products then, you don't need Disney products or need to use Facebook or need to have Starbucks etc That's where the hypocrisy lies, I don't expect people to stop driving but if you object to the takeover on moral grounds but you blast through Disney+ then aye that's a bit dodgy and selective So what you're saying is that Newcastle United is the same to you as any other business? That's fine if that's your position but it's a bit of a weird one for most football fans. NUFC is the worldwide representative of my city so I'm inclined to want to be able to feel proud of it and what it stands for. The only way it's comparable with Uber or Disney is if you have an emotional stake in those businesses. I couldn't give two fucks if they went under tomorrow so it's not the same in the slightest. I don't give a toss who owns Uber. I do care who owns Newcastle United. Is the difference between those two positions genuinely difficult to understand? I care more if someone kills my wife than if someone kills your wife. That's not hypocrisy, it's life. I care more about things I care about than things I don't.

If I didn't despise our current owner so much, I wouldn't want this to happen tbh. I'm quite uncomfortable with it. I'm very confortable with it as it happens. If someone wants to carry on with mike then that's their own decision but opinions shouldn't be forced on to others. After all this is a football forum and not a human rights forum or mumsnet. What does that even mean? Self explanatory isn't it? Who is forcing their opinion on you?

What football discussion did you foresee in a thread about a business transaction?

Her gran's from Pennywell.

Well if she's not, there's only one conclusion we can draw... What do you think that conclusion is? Come on now, we all know the answer...

I take it back about doing no moderating. Get the fuck out of here.

You say moderator like I actually do anything. I ask someone else to fix the search function when it breaks and every four years I make a sub forum for the World Cup. It's hardly Stasi territory. I'm just an idiot with an opinion and time on his hands, same as all of us. Exactly, and although this is true, I have had no interaction with Shak, at least not since the last time he stayed at mine.

I think it's probably more because Greg and neesy HATE Newcastle United and all its fans.

I also shouldn't get involved in this again because it's very tedious. Suffice to say that if you think the negative coverage is not because the potential owner is a murderer but actually because everyone hates your football team, and that the media are just pretending to hate murderers as a cover for their hatred of Newcastle United, then you're a genuine danger to society and shouldn't be allowed out in public.

Have you read Miguel Delanel (Chief football writer at @independent) tweets and compare his coverage of NUFC vs MUFC? Wow. One journo I reckon the media would love for this to go through, as it would create loads and loads of stories, both positive and negative ones, now and in the years to come. One example. Feel free to show us his tweets in favour of Manchester United being bought by them. No thanks. Feel free to look through his tweets yourself and come to your own conclusion. Ok. Conclusion reached.
