The difference is that they have completely different goals when they buy Newcastle United and when they buy shares from Uber. I dont understand the mental gymnastics around this. Can't we just accept the truth, take the critisism and get on with it?

It's not the same because... ITS NOT THE SAME. As in they are putting their money in Twitter or Uber for completely different reasons.

Just a guess but I’d assume the average subscriber to The Athletic might be better informed on things like human rights in Saudi Arabia than the average fan.

Oh sorry, it wasnt pointed at you. Just to the individuals doing stupid shit like that. But I disagree, those idiots need to be called out. Not ok.

Thought that article was pretty spot on myself. If you go jumping around SJP in a Bin Salman mask you do need an article or two to tell you what to do. Because you are an idiot.

So...first of all my opinion is that there's nothing we can do about this and we should just enjoy this ride. But There is zero doubt that our new owners are the absolute worst people in so many ways. It's fucking wrong that these people are allowed to own major football clubs. That's a big probelm in football. Yes, other clubs have bad owners and own clubs for all the wrong reasons but make no mistake, ours are by far the worst. That's just a fact. But Its not our fault. Its the football authorities and goverments that have allowed the situation to come to this in modern football. But Dont fucking go jumping around St James' in Bin Salman mask or wave a Saudi Arabia flag. Thats fucking terrible in a 100 different ways. No, just dont. Even though its not our fault, people will give us shit. And they have the right. Dont push back and argue, cos they are in sense right. Its a small price to pay for what we're about to have.

This feels so weird. I'm just seeing twitter posts like below and think FUCKING HELL I MADE THAT POSTER and several other Ashley Out posters and banners. I felt proud then seeing them at SJP but it seriously feels like a lifetime ago and now that feeling is just coming back accompanied by tears. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL! Fucking love you all! Now to book flights.

I'm just gonna have a drink and read the last 20 or so pages of this thread and smile my ass off. WE DID IT!

LFEE

I havent been online since noon. What the fuck happened here?

Something seriously fucked up with that country.

Creating so many chances now. Should be 0-4.

Cant get a much clearer hand ball penalty.

Congrats boys <3

VAR would have never given that if it wasnt given by the ref initally. Harder to overturn it.

That would've been a red if it wasnt the 9th minute.

VIVA LA FRANCE! Win by four please.

Oh boy Dubravka…

Shit match from Finland. But we were singing in our end for 30 mins after the game had finishes and then the Finnish players came back out to sing with us. Brilliant night regardless of any results and it keeps on going.

St Petersburgh has been brilliant and absolutely fucking mental. Maybe partly to do with the fact its awesome just to travel again but my god what a week.

Sorry Swedes, in the Slovakia end so got a do my part.

Soaked in beer for fucking nothing….

He’s a beauty alright

Border with car was like 3 hours
