Let's see, he's strong, probably good in bed and handsome to boot

Absolute legend!

5 is we beat Cardiff. 8 otherwise.

Rafa spending 300 million on Neymar and Suarez, leading to Newcastle playing super attacking football and winning a shock title?

And his clan.

No point convincing you people, you've made your mind up on this. Let's move on and just hate Ashley!

And Ferdinand is so poor that if Ashley says no to him, that he'll go bankrupt and have to drink himself to sleep on expensive champagne

He's too famous to need Ashley to shill his stuff. He's a very popular person in his own right and any company would fall head over heels to get Ferdinand's brand. Are you Rio Ferdinand? No, I am David Malan!

Again, this is willful misrepresentation. There is a link between Sports Direct and NUFC, there is no link between Ferdinand's merchandise and NUFC Wilful misrepresentation? Do me a favour. We're an empty vessel of a club which only exists to advertise Sports Direct. It's the only purpose of NUFC under Mike Ashley's ownership. To suggest the 2 entities aren't linked is just laughable. Ferdinand's merch has no relation with NUFC. SD does. How can you all be so obtuse? Ashley owns both. If he is nasty about how Ashley looks after NUFC, there's a good chance Ashley will stop SD from stocking his tat. Conversely if he supports Ashley's running of the club, Ashley will be pleased and will give him some shelf room. Surely that's easy enough for anyone to see? I don't even know why I'm bothering to try to explain it to you because you're so clearly on the wind-up. No human being is actually this thick. Ferdinand is an icon. He doesn't need Ashley of all people to shell his merch. This isn't some jumped up youtuber with 1 million subs. This is one of the great English CB's.

Because they have nothing else to do in the weekend. It's not like Newcastle's a metropolitan city with lots to do, and different places to go.

Again, this is willful misrepresentation. There is a link between Sports Direct and NUFC, there is no link between Ferdinand's merchandise and NUFC What are you arguing because you are saying two different things? To both: 1) Ashley benefits from NUFC via free advertising therefore prioritising his company over the team/club making your observation strange to say the least. 2) Rio Ferdinand sticks up for him because he is in business with SD/Keith bishop. No one is saying his stuff has anything to do with NUFC. He still stuck the boot into fans regardless because he has an interest in currying favour with MA. He is in business with SD, because his merch is sold there. You're having a laugh if you think no other store would ever take that merch.

Again, this is willful misrepresentation. There is a link between Sports Direct and NUFC, there is no link between Ferdinand's merchandise and NUFC

Again, no one is denying Ashley is basically using our club to do whatever he wants for Sports Direct, but that does not mean that Ferdinand is in anyway in direct of conflict for talking about NUFC since his merchandise has zero to do with NUFC. I still don't get what's so contradictory about that
