If they have any sense whatsoever, the Saudis should just double down on making the whole thing laser focused on Newcastle and romantic Geordie nonsense and avoid even saying the words Saudi Arabia.

Just tell him he can hit whatever he wants first time and if it goes in he gets a bag of gold

Realistically an enormous part of this is down to him and those goals at the end of last year.

Sometimes you have to dance with the devil. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good and deal with whatever bullshit that comes along on its own terms. You and you alone are responsible for whether or not you go full on Man City Qatar apologist. We are beyond good and evil. If they do something horrendous, do what you need to do and call it out.

I’ve spent my entire life windmilling against organised religion, monarchy, misogyny, racism and anti lgbt bigotry. I am not going to throw that all away because some horrible people bought us. I am perfectly well equipped to think two things at once and you won’t catch me dressing up like an Arab, going after kashoggi’s missus or pretending that the Saudis are not a bunch of bellends. But also I will enjoy every second of any success, because life is short and cruel and I would be a right sanctimonious dickhead if I pretended I was not going to have my cake and eat it.

A critical part of walking this tightrope ahead of us is not being automatic fools and parading around like we love Saudi Arabia

Could literally feel my Willy ping

Dunno about you lads but fucking up some brands feels class

Imagine being the mackem dad of a year old bairn right now. Staring at them knowing, tangibly feeling the irresistible gravity pulling them towards Newcastle. You’ll come home one day and find the bedsheets changed. That calendar you bought them for Christmas, why didn’t they open it? It’s alright son you go hang out with the lads, I’ll go to the match, no it’s fine. What about next week? Oh you’re going out are you.

Gerrard can get to fuck. Want that camera kissing loser bellend nowhere near this magnificent ship.

This woman has been sent from heaven

Anything you want, you got it anything you need, you got it Anything at all

Conte. Want slippy g nowhere near us.

The absolute opulent fucking luxury of being able to completely ignore anything this daft cunt says ever again

Spaceport

16 when he took over. So I had shearer my entire childhood.

This fuckin’ guy is gonna be the heart of everything

My hero

My brothers, today is the first day of the rest of our lives

I am the lobster in the pot

Let their bitter salty tears raise the sea level and wash away the scum and detritus into the murky depths of the North Sea

Good lad

Then we do our jobs and tell people to pack it in and get back to spunking money on shite from now until interstellar travel

It’s best it ends like this. He kept us up and kept the deal alive, he gets paid off, everyone wins.

You are under no obligation whatsoever to defend anything to do with Saudi Arabia. A human being can hold two ideas at once.
