It’s not hypocrisy at all ffs.

Think we’ll be a lot better once we get Clarke out of the team. He was absolutely horrendous for their goal. Weak as piss attempt to dispossess Gallagher immediately followed by shit marking on the cross. He’s finished.

Aye, hope we see similar every week tbh

Would put Almiron for Longstaff and play Almiron - Hayden - Fraser. Need legs in those outside mid position in this formation.

Must've realised they actually like the state cheerleading

The plan is obviously counter. The midfield are playing high risk passes rather than for possession. They're still shit at it like, but don't expect any possession from us.

I don't really get Fraser over Almiron in this system at all . He must've been awesome in training.

We are deep but pressing them well once they get to a certain line. There's some tactics on display for once at least.

Hoping it's a back four with Manquillo LB and Krafth RB but that's an awful team whichever way it lines up.

What a shit state of affairs that it's either Ritchie or Lewis for that position . Terrible.

I wonder if we might finally sign Per Ciljan Skjelbred.

Good finish

Glad those dickhead fans in tea towels have had a shit afternoon tbh.

Of course he’s got a massive range rover for absolutely no reason. Shithead.

Oh no mate, you can’t say that because the UK government that you obviously must love sells them guns!!!

Well the West obviously but I don’t think anybody here is saying they’re in favour of that so I don’t see what it has to do with this debate. If it’s your attempt at saying people uncomfortable with the takeover are being hypocritical because they’re citizens of the west it’s a terrible effort at a gotcha.

I don’t really see how western politics comes into this debate at all. They can say it’s not all they want but it’s the state of Saudi Arabia funding us. No western state is funding a football team afaik so I don’t get why they’re being brought into it.

I honestly can’t believe what I’m seeing. “Support Saudi sportswashing like me or fuck off and don’t watch football ever again”.

Andorra just elbowing players in the face and getting away with it. Mad.

Foden is taking the piss

Oh god I wish you hadn’t

Yuck! But sportswashing doesn’t exist!

Fair enough. I think that’s too far on their part.

I don’t think anybody is asking you to justify supporting the club are they? It’s fine. I hate this takeover but I’ll still be a Newcastle fan. It’s obviously an emotion I have no control over because I’d have binned it off ages ago otherwise Where it gets problematic is we have people in here (not you!) trying to justify the ethics of it (“well the UK government sells them arms so…” etc.). There is no ethical justification for this I’m afraid.
