Dr Venkman Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I can tell you categorically now that the majority of our fans are idiots, but that's not unique to NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 16 minutes ago, Numbers said: Twitter is a terrible like, Newcastle fans giving Jamie Reuben pelters for saying an improved performance today. Its almost like they expected us to steam roll Palace today because Bruce is gone. By all accounts, it was an improved performance, despite some poor individual performances at least we looked like we knew what was expected. Today was an improved result, but not an improved performance. We had 25% possession, and one single worthwhile shot. They should have been out of sight.

I wonder whether it’s more likely that the pressure from the other Premier League clubs and particularly the ‘Big 6’ will result in the Premier League expelling us at some point. They will claim that we breached the separation between PIF and the Saudi Arabian state or will change the Owners and Directors test to include provisions relating to Human Rights and apply it retrospectively. The American owners in particular want to protect their investments at all costs and have shown quite clearly in almost joining a Super League from which they could never be demoted and suggesting that the ‘Big 6’ should be able to outvote everyone else that they want to significantly limit all competition.

geordiesteve710 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That banner isn't racist in the slightest like. Although it'll be interesting to see if Kick it out respond now though, they've unwittingly painted themselves into a bit of a corner re: what "could be offensive" to arab onlookers ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Palace is one of the more working class London crowds. Certainly the area of South Norwood and Croydon isn’t affluent at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
