All that counselling the first time round wasted

Dead against that kind of rhetoric. Where on Earth are sisters and hoes?

I can’t spake

Hitler didn’t get you 5th marra

Are you a Newcastle fan?

Also Eddie is looking a bit up the arse corner with Rafa atm 😁

Not sure soviet propaganda is the route I’d take atm. Much as I appreciate the aesthetics and think it’s a cool idea

Can you smell what Darroch is cookin? 🤨

It’s not that hard to create either consciously or not. It’s like talksport vox pops - certain fans just can’t help but chomp

The real ale twats and the wacky racists have been faves of mine in the past

Almiron R oil man 😳🤯

Definitely been an angle almost universally missed. The face it’s billionaires of various persuasions using to the club to their own benefactor or malignant ends is a two sides of the same coin angle sorely missed.

Abramovic is about as clear an instance of sports washing as your going to get. I don’t actually believe Saudi are in it for the same reasons primarily. I think it’s more regional pride and part of the diversification and acknowledgment and that this oil element of the economy is on borrowed time.

I mean that’s well put together and very erudite but it opens with a quote from a fictional mafia boss who tries to escape the trappings of the life he’s in but can’t and likewise what does not acting hysterically mean practically? Dafties flying Saudi flags etc discounted. For the most part I think fans have a good dialogue on this and not many are abandoning nufc nor promoting the geopolitical rhetoric of PIF. If pulling together means not discussing it openly and being self aware then it’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed. I don’t disagree with a lot there as many attempts by media are no doubt disingenuous and with thinly veiled agenda but forming ranks because NUFC caused bother under Ashley and will do here too.

I clearly don’t mean that as the first part and you know that based on your second point so I’d sooner not dance around with the pendantry of language choice and the art of rhetorical jousting via straw men. Explain corrupted royals to me in the context of Saudi and stole what from whom? We have a bit of a problem with corrupted royals in the UK for different reasons. 😶

Except I never said that, I said he has his family under house arrest and there are forms of extreme Islam present and supported in the region/state. Imagined indeed. If you want to bat for MBS as an individual crack on but it wasn’t the crux of my point.

I defer to knowledge on matters Islamic old chum but there’s a lot more to that post than that. The crux of it was about growing global instability. I know that having leaders with family conflict in absolute monarchies at ideological odds with theocratic critics is fertile ground for revolution or a least civil unrest.

I don’t or don’t know for sure. But I know it’s there. That post was all about lack of certainty.

That said how we and and impotent government and political system react to all that is another conversation entirely.

I think people are suffering a little from normalcy paradox a little. Yes there has been relative stability based on decades old ties with the ME but we’re dealing with a leader who has his own family under house arrest and radicalist versions of Islam either supported actively or exported within the region - seemingly desperate to diversify away from oil ahead of a massive climate reckoning and struggles for global resources. I wouldn’t like to say what would happen for certain as it would be folly one way or the other but it’s not fertile ground for even short term stability.
