Fans should have a political voice. There is absolutely room for politics in sport.

This would be perfect.

I hope there is nothing relating to Saudi Arabia being designed. Ah, was mentioned a minute ago.

I worry, are we catering a little too much to Bruce with all these new additions to the staffing?

Derby fans are gonna be happy to get rescued. But it's basically being scooped from the middle of the English Channel by Hanibal Lecter. Sure, you're not gonna drown anymore in the short term, but you aren't gonna enjoy that future in the pit.

Fake edits on wikipedia are lame.

I do wonder if anyone will reject us on moral grounds.

This is massive news. Utterly dominating the current news cycle. It isn't bias that the BBC have splashed the complaints story on the Sports page. It'll go tomorrow and be replaced with Bruce's sacking.

I genuinely think this might be the most important thread in the coming years. Something everyone should at least skim through now and then.

I don't think we should be criticising journalists for putting out human rights pieces, even if they never have before. The Saudi state deserve it. And criticising the news output feels very close to fulfilling the sportswashing desires of our new owners.

I really don't think Newcastle fans should praise/support/defend anything related to Saudi Arabia. In fact, it should absolutely be the opposite. I'm gonna be strongly against all uses of the club to sportswash the crimes of the Saudi Arabia leadership. And I hope others will be too. If that results in these owners pulling back on their plans or pulling out entirely... I wouldn't care less. That's as far as my mind has got on this. Will think a little more and maybe post a little update on where I land on this issue another time.

I swear we've done this already in the last 12 months.

Proper race to the bottom stuff.

Dude, this is a really bad take. C'mon.

You'll be able to get that 1 quid deal. Hang on.

You can get it for a pound a month for 6 months. I can dig out the offer link later. Worth having for recent events.

Not cool.

Fuck no.

Pardew era Europa v Bordeaux

Proper investment in the academy would be class.

Paint more of the bricks outside the stadium.
