Nobody in there for people to argue with. That is the point though like. A forum is for debate and arguments. It shouldn't just be an echo chamber, people should be allowed to give an opposing view or outline why a particular post is wrong, like HTT's above

Yeah. I'll smoke some of that Absolute nonsense

Schalke keeper absolutely shite

Brandt and Hakimi are class

Schalke are bad

Brilliant goal

Why did BT put McManaman on this? Painful

that seems like something that shouldn’t be historic. Is there something sacrosanct about late afternoon that precludes scheduling football matches? You've surely noticed this before? None of the 3pm games are ever shown on UK TV. Its to protect lower league clubs I think

That mid Saturday afternoon search to find a stream

So you think your work is representative, but the forum with loads of people from all walks of life isn't? Surely it's the other way round. Not my point at all, and I know you only pop in here for argumentative reasons. I was only saying there are about 5 people on here who constantly bang on about it, but I don’t hear it from anywhere else. I don’t take you opinion any higher than anyone else’s though, should I? You will always get a minority of people with what may appear to be strange beliefs that don't fit in with the majority I like people having different takes/beliefs that don’t fit in with the majority. Just think the calling people stupid for not having the same outlook is not needed at all. That's not what it is though. It's not because the opinions are different, it's because they're seen as being stupid. And like I said earlier, it’s stupid comments on both sides that make the whole thing just a big pile of s**** and not needed. Like that Yemen kid comment. He never got called out for it though, even though it was lifting. I mean that's completely out of context. The bloke was basically saying he doesn't care about how it's done, he's got to 69 and he wants to win a trophy. What's the problem with highlighting that there are more important things going on than Newcastle not winning a trophy? Because it was a cheap throwaway comment to try and come across the better person, not to highlight anything. You are a much better poster than that Triggs. Maybe I shouldn't have said it, I remember I was debating it at the time. I just found his attitude a bit annoying, trying to make out like its the worst thing in the world not to win a trophy. Maybe I picked it up wrong though

You will always get a minority of people with what may appear to be strange beliefs that don't fit in with the majority They aren't strange beliefs at all like. If it was Man Utd getting taken over by the Saudis, I bet at least 50% of the people on here would be complaining about it. Not wanting a horrendous country to take over a football club is not a strange belief A Newcastle fan not wanting to get rid of Ashley and not wanting the club to compete is a strange belief though. Therein lies the conflict. Everybody wants rid of Ashley, I don't think anybody has said differently. It's like getting rid of cancer and getting AIDS Not a great metaphor. It’s more like having cancer and getting the best treatment, paid by Nazis. Treatment that also brainwashes you into defending the Nazis

I didn't, and I don't think anybody else on this side of the argument did either. It's not gone the other way either, it's a very small minority on here that is opposed to it

I'll stay like I have the last few years. Watch the game if I'm not doing anything else not really caring about the result. It's obviously harder for people from Newcastle

It's not worse at all. Petrol is until recently pretty much a necessary thing that has been in people's lives forever. When you buy petrol there also isn't a Saudi flag on the pump telling you to visit Riyadh, you don't know where it's coming from. The second this goes through Newcastle Utd will become Saudi Arabia United What absolute bollocks. How? We'll still be called Newcastle United. I doubt very much if the club crest will be replaced by the Saudi flag, but feel free to call me out if I'm wrong. Any success will have nothing to do with Newcastle, the only reason for the club existing will be to help Saudi Arabia's image

Are people genuinely expecting Mbappe?

A Tory MP opposing the Saudis and a Labour MP arguing their case is weird

Sounds cool. Have always been a lot more interested in how individual players are playing/what they're doing rather than systems when watching football matches

In one of the years he was here he started 35 games and did not get a goal or assist
