Kid Icarus

f***ing hell, absolutely embarrassing. Yes Miguel’s made a right t#%t of himself embarrassing to say the least. Hopefully he gets demoted to tea boy. a journalist has an opinion (which has no affect on anything in reality) therefore he's an "embarrassment"? Everyone’s entitled to a opinion, however when you ram that same opinion relentlessly in people’s faces it over steps the mark. The bloke won’t even listen to a different opinion, he is right fact every time. I would suggest for a journalist you should at the very least be balanced. So in my opinion yes he is an idiot, but that’s not fact just my opinion. Good enough for you. Your opinion has overstepped the mark, please stop posting it In your opinion, sorry you don’t agree but I couldn’t give a s#%t what you think Okay, just please try not to overstep the mark in future.

You say debunk, but disagree probably works better, as its people’s differing views, not those being wrong and you being right. When someone does something like conflate the Saudi State who are buying us, with the UK government who aren't, or they conflate private Saudi investors who bought Sheff Utd with the Saudi state who are buying us, that's a differing view but it's still also wrong like. This started back up after HTT’s post, and not sure if he did mention those points as I really couldn’t be arsed to read it all. But some people agreed with it and some didn’t. Fair enough I guarantee more people read my shit than the tedious crap you post. Your arrogant and condescending posts are more insufferable than ever, which is a shame because when you’re not being a dick/being faux political you’re a good poster (football only mind). I mean, only you could try and school US forum members in US politics, policies and issues and try and lecture them and only you would feel you’re entitled to do that because you’re part of some bull shit delusional false as fuck network you’re that stupid you actually believe your input or membership in might contribute to one day saving the world or rescuing the US and it’s people from whatever sandstorm you think they are in and that they don’t even know they are in. Which you and your like only can let them know. Save me/us from your own crap please! In here and GC. Are you actually fucking kidding? HTT[/member] You're posting all that toxic shit specifically at me because I fucking laughed at something you yourself laugh at yourself about? Something literally everyone on here laughs about. Jesus fucking Christ man, have a word (or several hundred thousand) PS, re the US politics thread, I take it the irony of it all taking place on a Newcastle-based forum is lost on you then. You haven't got the first clue what you're talking about either btw, not that I wanted to get into this shit over here, over a fucking emoji.

Because some folk twist for the sake of it. Sure Don’t think many would care, unfortunately.

You're right, it was actually 4 years ago https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=97318.0

Ahhh, so this is where cancel culture has brought us.

Apologies, *murderers Oof, all of them? Just the ones he was referring to. Just responding in kind to what was quite obviously bait tbh. Think our future chairman is a canny lad actually, no murders or anything. I'm sure he's sound. MBS on the other hand...(if it's still there that is)

It's been answered a few times and I can't speak for anyone else, but I won't be giving them any money, for the nothing that it'll change, yeah. Presumably the people who didn't boycott the club while hating Ashley are hypocrites as well then? Ahhh I've not read every reply but that's fair enough Hypocrites in what sense? That they now choose to boycott the club? If so, then no I dont think they are, I totally respect peoples objections to the takeover and I'm not taking the stance that they're wrong or "stupid" for those objections. I object to the notion that "whataboutery" is a redundant argument because I just dont believe it is, because for me, funding that regime is just as bad as supporting a club owned by it. Either own your hypocrisies or take a more thorough stance against it rather than objecting loudly pre takeover and getting in line for a season ticket post takeover. I cant get my head round protesting loudly but then putting money into their bank account anyway. I'm not sure if we've got crossed wires here, but the second part of my post wasn't just for those now boycotting, I just mean anyone who did the bit in bold with Ashley as the owner. Do you think the people who hate Ashley (all of us) but have continued giving him money for the last 13 years are hypocrites? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Absolutely. Which football club are they buying again? The one you didn’t care about last month The UK Government are buying us are they? According to the logic of "nobody complained about the Saudis buying Sheff United!!1!", they already own us. Or should I say

Also, thank you for the TL;DR

The amount of unbelievably thick people on the forum has been growing and growing for a while, but this whole thing was obviously cat nip for them. Yet you’re the one winning Worst Poster of the Year award every year. Why do you think I think you're all thick? I don’t? Nah man, it's a joke. I'm just making a joke about that being the reason I think everyone on here's thick.

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. Well the people opposed to the deal are in the minority, as you say, so I'm not sure why it wasn't. Which is the best way to deal with ridiculous points like that. Instead of jumping in all the time and keeping the same shit argument going and going. Things could be decent discussion wise if the ridiculous comments were just left/ignored and not jumped upon. I'd agree with you but the same stupid points, especially the one about being a hypocrite if you oppose anything while functioning within society, are made over and over again tbf. I can only speak for me but I know I've held back on a lot of the things that have been said in here, but overall I think the objection to all of this has been really, really mild on here despite the high level of defensiveness to it.

I don't think there was an overriding forum opinion like, aside from hating Ashley it's nearly always split innit. I know I didn't want Man City to beat Liverpool to the title.

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. Only when you frame it that way. It's just as easy to frame it as a strange belief to want the club you've supported your whole life and have great pride in to be owned and forever associated with murderers/terrorists/baby bombers/whatever you want to call them, all because they'll buy success. Just as easy to frame it from the other side tbf.
