I think I was in shock last night, trying to take it in but not really feeling much. Today, I just want to read all about it and am enjoying all of the stuff captured last night Can't wait for Spurs. I've just spent the day absorbing it - like a dream to be finally rid of Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a wonderful time to be alive. It's like having 'It's a Wonderful Life' ending on a loop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sweet, we're now hated because we're a threat to their closed shop at the top. Lets really p*ss them off and offer Salah mega bucks to join us lol! !!

After Olympics and before winter Olympics in China, all the Chinese/Russian/Arab investment in scores of English clubs and businesses, World Athletics Championships in Qatar in front of 20people, World Cup in Russia, World cup in Qatar, PSG, Man City, WWE, Boxing, F1 - NUFC is the point where the fight back against taking the money of unpleasant regimes begins?! So they can all benefit but we cant? If we were the very first I'd agree but this s*it started 30years ago man.

Fantail Breeze Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 We’ll have to start getting used to it, it’ll be thrown our way forever. This discussion will become the new “takeover will or won’t happen” on here. Our club and entire city is going to benefit immensely due to massively needed investment. Thousands of lives will change for the better. New jobs, increased production and a successful football club. I don’t agree with the human rights in KSA. I’ll happily voice that on here and in life everyday. Hopefully the takeover may positively benefit progressions in KSA, maybe the Trust could use their voice when liaising with the club to keep it on the agenda.

Superior Acuña Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I can't be fucked with people long entangled in blood-stained modern football calling out Newcastle fans as apologists for human rights abuses for supporting NUFC. But also totally welcome this being used to shine a light on SA abuses. The more done to counter the sportswashing intention the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Liverpool supported neavau riche Blackburn's quest to overhaul the hated Manchester United in the mid 90s. I guess because it wasn't sustainable like Chelsea, City and us that was okay. On the latter, Jack Walker, and John Hall were similar wealthy owners. Of course Blackburn bought their one and only title, Looking at it, they are the original premier league blueprint, for buying PL title. I watched a documentary on something to do with the PL, where the then admin girl who's still with Rovers to this day explained, Jack Walker told her and the Staff that Blackburn will be premier league champions, she said they all laughed, but it happened in two seasons.

I have..... and, apart from the peasants down the road, it's definitely Liverpool fans that are taking it the worst. The fuming is delicious. I particularly liked this one... "This lot have always felt deserving of being at the top table. Even in the 70s (mad pitch invasions) and throughout the first Kevin Keegan circus in the 80s with helicopters arriving in the middle of the park, they’ve always felt they were something that they weren’t. They were always “more passionate and better this and better that”. Bollocks of course. Of all the so-called “sleeping giants”, this one has always been a wankfest of a club. Wolves, Leeds, or even Sunderland have better credentials than this shower. They’ve rammed home the argument so much that they’re so passionate and loveable and this and that that the press have bought into it and every man and his dog think that they “deserve” it. Well they don’t. And I’ll make a total U-turn on the way I felt only a few months back about the Super League. Anything to keep these nouveau riche arseholes out. Hope the new signatories to the new Super league stipulate at least 2 European Cups won in 2 different decades. At least the red Mancs have got the credentials. That’s one place this lot, Chelsea and PSG can’t buy their way into." "ME, ME, ME!!! I'M THE ONE WHO'S SPECIAL!!!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
