Because ultimately - rightly or wrongly - people will defend the club ahead of any player, despite how previously popular they may be. Even if the club is rotten to the core and run by absolute c***s with no morals. Except its not in the clubs favour if he's hounded out. I quite agree, but it's the same any time a player is looking like they might leave for any reason. They transform into greedy/hypocritical/shit bastards almost overnight. The club have it so easy it's unreal. 100 per cent. It's like clockwork.

Hearing Bob Sloane of Wallsend Boys Club has passed away. Not sure if anyone on here will have known him but he was a lovely man. RIP.

I agree, but the fans do fuck all these days. Same goes with the results, pardew, all the other shit, the fans just turn up and Ashley doesn't care. Wonga are a shit company, so are SD, Pardew is a shit manager, Kinnear a fucking loon it goes on and on...Cisse isn't helping things, if he's that bothered hoy in a TR and let us all move on. What his game is I haven't got a clue, don't really care, i just want him playing next season or him off the books and new strikers in willing to play for the club. Without players willing to play we are completely fucked. This just reminds me of when Keegan sued the club and people were delighted when he wanted to take £20m off us, yeah, that is really going to help. Madness man. Keegan had every right to sue the arseholes who fucked him over and regarding your other post I drew the line at legalised loansharks, as did you and many others. It doesn't mean I'll stop watching football like, but it was another kick in the balls I wasn't happy with. Same as you, I won't wear the logo and am disgusted at us yet again. The fact we are having problems because of it now is yet another reason to detest the decision.

Who has defended Wonga? For me its about wanting what is best for the club, ans what is best is Cisse drops this so we can move on. Season starts in a month ffs and this is still hot topic and that is down to Cisse no one else. The club are defending an odious company like Wonga by insisting a player wears the sponsor despite his moral/religious protestations otherwise. We haven't simply jumped into bed with them, we're now in the business of defending their commercial interests and reputation too. Shouldn't have agreed the deal in the first place.

Boremations.

I was pissed off when Wonga were announced as sponsor and this standoff is ultimately another consequence of that as far as I'm concerned, no matter what your theory on the situation is. Even if you're on board with the theory that he's being opportunistic and wants away then he'd be gone or on the transfer list by now if it wasn't for that piece-of-shit glorified loanshark. If he's a genuine problem with it then the bad effects are obvious and we're stuck in this stupid situation effectively without a decent goalscorer on the books. Sad times when our great club are defending the reputation and interests of a company like that.

He'll offend the general Muslim community (the one he's trying to protect from the very bad wonga) by being in a casino. How is he trying to protect the Muslim community? . Aha.

Essien role.

Red card. :lol: And fights all over the place. We really are the most idiotic football club on the planet.

It's kicking off all over the shop.

Absolutely dying for my girlfriend to stop procrastinating so she needs to borrow my laptop to do her coursework, so that I don't have to watch this shite anymore. Hurry up you lazy woman.

Back to square one.

So difficult to turn your phone off or ignore it like.

Bad craic this like, it's a bullshit slant on an already damaging story and it's our own fans fuelling the fire on it.

I don't either, but my point is - why are you even thinking he's bargaining for more money? He lost all of his money at the casino and needs more money.

NO is ran far more efficiently than NUFC tbf.

Hmm OK, I'm aware of all of that. Who knows if Cisse is? Anyway the stuff in the Quran is centred around lending money with interest attached only as far as I know, not the other unscrupulous practices that most mainstream banks have been involved with at one time or another. Maybe his belief begins and ends with interest rates, he's just not a strict enough Muslim to think no money should be lent out whatsoever but his tolerance doesn't stretch to rates of 1000 per cent plus or whatever.

If that's where he draws the line, that's where he draws the line. Seems possible to me. Doesn't think that money should never be lent out at all but objects to obscene interest rates aimed at the poorest people in society. You'll have to fill me in on the Barclays thing as I'm not sure what you're getting at. Maybe Cisse doesn't know either.

Wonga charge far higher interest rates than Barclays. If Cisse's main objection is excessive interest rates then surely there's your reason why he opposes one sponsor and not the other.

This guy can fuck off.

Imagine buying someone for the going rate who has 3 or 4 years left on their contract and no clauses and hasn't fallen out with their club. Must be well weird.

Aye, and my company help their clients send copious amounts of DM and email to their customers just because we wouldn't want anyone to miss out on such great offers.
