BergenMagpie Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 What a difference two days can make! So weird being on this forum with an optimistic view. Will take me some time to adjust. Gotta make some plans to finally visit Newcastle now. Might just get a one way ticket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with the views necessarily, either, but I know someone giving fans shit for this who absolutely loves Obama (I like him too, FYI), seemingly forgetting his drone strike record.

healthyaddiction Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Apparently, as part of the deal, in the short term the SD signs have to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will just need a different manager now as Rafa is at Everton. I wouldn’t be shocked if they at least try to get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Seen some images on whatsapp, of our fans waving the Saudi Flag outside the ground yesterday We don't need to add fuel to the fire, with the Human rights stuff etc. The regime is abhorrent, waving the flag around is not a good idea and the haters will jump on anything they find.

The tea towel/head stuff I expected from the mungs. But the flag itself, represents something much worse. It certainly makes me uncomfortable, and the takeover challenges my moral compass enough as it is. Edited October 8, 2021 by Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejeck Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yeah, the Saudi flag waving is just shite and makes me feel uncomfortable. Rightly or wrongly, I'm not that arsed about people hoying tea towels on their nappa because you can just brush that off as banter, but the flag waving is dreadful.

Mike Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 hour ago, ManDoon said: They need some big scouting upgrades, there are decent scouts there but they need more and like other clubs they need to station scouts in other countries. Hence why I’ll be putting my name forward ? Aye slip my name on the application as well. Heard there's good players in Medellin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I keep crying! I was at the ground last night, and it was like an earthquake, singing and dancing with strangers. On the way, there were a couple of shell shocked looking students (presumably non local) coming the other way, saying "what the hell has happened?" to each other. Spurs at home is going to be sensational. This whole city is about to take right off again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
