Calling it "whataboutery" is just a a smug, patronising response in lieu of a decent argument. For clarity, we shouldn't defend KSA, but it's not our moral responsibility to make the stand now where others haven't. That's my point exactly, "Whataboutery" is just a way of dismissing soild counter arguments and is very much in keeping with the current anti-intellectualism of the modern Western age. But anyway just thought I'd hoy my 2 peneth in as I've enjoyed 'ghosting' on here for the past 18 months so I thought I'd contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think it's bollocks, I think Ashely has had enough of football but interested in differing thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, Slim said: Brilliant. Never seen this. Hopefully he’ll also do a vid on the proper use of the word ‘peddle’ It doesn’t mean to sack or get rid of something as seems to get used round here a lot. You only ‘peddle’ a manager if you are trying to sell him/ offer him for sale. Like Pardew used to do with our best players. So if you are saying ‘Bruce should be peddled’, you are essentially saying ‘Bruce should be offered for sale’ or we should convince someone to buy him. I’ll get off me high horse now.

He gets his mush on 5Live (based entirely on being the person hanging around Michael Martin when he decided he couldn't be arsed anymore) to say things like, "Why are Newcastle fans being targeted about the Saudis, nothing to do with us!" which is a fair point but not when you then print a Saudi Mags t-shirt you fucking helmet. Just makes us all look a total bunch of gormless wankers. Spineless dickheads like him are the thing that makes me baulk most at jumping straight back in. He's hogged limelight for knocking on ten years about how badly the club was run, all the while shovelling money into Mike Ashley's pocket. Now he's all "We've done it!!!". If it had anything to do with you he'd have been here forever you fat Tory wank. This is tremendous. Is there a Football Ace Posts thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Man, it's already happening. Staff are being hired rather than cut. This is great. That picture of them at the long table talking to the staff at St James, spoke a thousand words to me. Engaging, approachable, interested and ambitious. So very normal but also lightyears from where we were a week ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 They've obviously come in with plans to expand the commercial and hospitality revenue. The fact they're already hiring chefs and staff is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 This week is going to be tremendous, having a club now with clear communication. We are going to have stories and news all week, hearing about them meeting the players tomorrow, kicking Bruce out, hearing further plans and all building up to the game on Sunday, where the atmosphere is going to be insane. This is what it’s supposed to be like to follow a football club. Can’t bloody wait, loving it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
