Wonder if they were invited and turned it down or they weren't a big enough "brand" to be invited. Napoli and Boca or don’t bother imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Was going to say imagine implicitly going to bat for the Saudis on a news channel as an NUFC fan. Seeing this 'news channel' has less than 500 subs makes it even more amusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Recipe for disaster from the start, that one. It's really risky when a couple of people become the voice of the fans. Edited October 28, 2021 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I hate exceptionalism in all it's forms personally, football and otherwise. But with specific reference to football the only exception are the "big 6" or whatever that are treated differently from everyone in the media. We're not some special case. The contrast between Bruce & OGS mere days apart was an absolute joke but it's not because we're Newcastle, it's because we're not part of the group they want to succeed or who they deem worthy of success. Could equally have been Brighton or anyone. Edited October 28, 2021 by mrmojorisin75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Whinging about being hated by other fans put into the context of the reasons why everyone rightly hates the Saudi owners just makes it come across as monumentally crass like. We didn't get a say in any of it, leave it at that. No one is going to, or should want to hear 'how it feels to be hated' for supporting Newcastle.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It’s nothing to do with the fans either way really, we don’t gain any prestige and we shouldn’t attract any extra criticism. We just have new owners, which we have no choice about. I don’t get the sense that everybody hates us at all, not very helpful to stir up this issue. Ah well.

Agreed - that article doesn't read well at all, but I don't think it's true to say that NUFC fans have been treated brilliantly to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
