Tbh I’ve no real issue with it other than its crass as fuck and makes us look like sports washed dickheads I mean we are like, minus the dickheads, nothing was going to stop us supporting Newcastle and we all want to have our cake and eat it. I just don't think there's really that much difference between the half-arsed fairytale Adam P's telling himself vs what we're doing, but each to their own and all that.

He is taking their money to promote the country and, by extension, their state. Isn't that the exact objective of sportswashing? Using the club and fanbase to cleanse the image of dickheads in charge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's half arsed at best, neither here nor there. I really don't imagine that whoever approached him to do the video, will be impressed one bit by his "I don't like it any more than you do". Would be a shame if he lost future perks and future revenue from it. Pretty dumb of him. Edited 10 hours ago by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to us who are largely giving them money and by extension their state. I get that the distinction is that we're not overtly promoting Saudi while supporting Newcastle, I just don't think that distinction is big enough for anyone to be getting on their high horse about Adam P. Based on what happened when the takeover happened, I'd hazard a guess that the hard line people claim they have would soften significantly if it meant improving their material interests.

Turnbull2000 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) He's on the back page of The Times today. Awkward I don't mind him tbh. He's a Newcastle fanatic and enjoys what he's doing. Though not sure if he'll remain impartial now. Edited 8 hours ago by Turnbull2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way he can stay home and have a clear conscience, or alternatively he can pay his own way and be as critical as he wishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago A Leeds podcast has took the piss out of our fanbase because of his video. Now my mate who’s a Leeds fan is being relentless about it. Cheers Adam. Made us look like a right bunch of sportswashed cunts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From looking at YouTube, he's got 50k subscribers and most of his videos have somewhere between 5k and 20k views, that surely isn't bringing in much money per month? he will live with his mam and dad. Not sure he’d be capable of independent living tbh. Don’t want to make fun of the lad as he’s quite clearly SEN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
