Yes, I think he is.

Seems a strange one. I had a disagreement with him in the comments on one of his videos and he threw his toys right out the pram.

 

Literally every comment I've seen from him is like that that I've seen. All while calling other people childish. Strange bloke.

I’m comfortable with the ownership structure, I don’t think they’ll be around forever though. Maybe that’s why.

 

My lasting thought is that no matter what happens, or how long they stay, there’s no turning back for us to the Mike Ashley days.. soon we’ll be a club valued similar to Spurs or Arsenal with a better infrastructure than both. We’re never going back to those dark days.

I thought we had two threads to keep this thing separate. One to discuss the owners direct involvement with the operations and commercial avenues of the football club and the other to discuss the overall issues concerning the Saudis owning the club. It's been that way for a good while and imo is the best way.

I take it you mean the version that MTV couldn’t play?

 

and I’d raise you the same vintage for Junior Jacks Stupidisco if that’s the case


It's decent alright but the sight of a relatively unknown Emily Ratajkowski upstaging 2 other beauts is something else altogether.

 

It was a total shitshow to release that right at the start of the MeToo movement but that makes me like it all the more. Said model/actress was quick to slag it off despite it launching her career.. there’s definitely a level of hypocrisy around the whole thing.

A journalist who absolutely hates our owners -- Oliver Holt -- has some nice things to say in todays Daily Mail.

 

------------

 

"Chelsea now sit 14th in the Premier League. They have garnered five points from their opening six games and Pochettino is already asking to be given more time and telling his players they have to ‘grow up’. There is an awful lot of talent in the squad but precious little leadership. The side does not look like a team. It looks more like a random collection of products purchased at a supermarket trolley dash. A very expensive supermarket, obviously.

 

There are other ways of doing this if you have competent people at the helm. Loathe though I am to give the Saudi Arabian regime at Newcastle United any credit, they have done a superb job in turning the side from a struggling foot-of-the-table team into a Champions League outfit. They recruited a good manager and they recruited good players and they recruited good recruiters. They had method. They chose wisely. They bought players who would take them to the next level. They are moving up step by step. The result is a team that has captured the imagination of the support-base, a team with a solid identity, a team that has spirit and hunger and togetherness, a team that is a fine blend of characters and nationalities. On the pitch, Newcastle is everything Chelsea is not. They have been an example of how to spend money wisely, not throw it into the flames.

 

It is the opposite at Chelsea. How can it be, for instance, that a regime that has spent more than £1bn on players has been left with a centre forward who has got five times more yellow cards than goals?

In fact, Nicolas Jackson has earned as many yellow cards as the entire team has scored goals in the league. If it wasn’t so dispiriting for Chelsea fans, it would be funny."
