Topic: Newcastle - RIP Jamal Khashoggi; Free Salma al-Shehab

[JRed]

Yeah, I know what you're saying - though have seen much worse and not get punished at all. So, with the ref changing his mind after looking at the video, is it classed as a straight red.....thought I saw him bring out a yellow again, then red or was that a mistake ?

They bring the yellow out again to show they are cancelling it, then show the red.

[sinnermichael]

Apparently there's a feature before the game later with Carragher asking their fans questions about the club "on and off the pitch".

I'm sure they'll all condemn their owners and not just turn a blind eye to it.

Looking forward to Carragher and Neville calling out the PL for allowing a disgusting regime buying into it and calling for riots.

[Barneylfc∗]

This is pathetic

[Barneylfc∗]

Already fucked off the Saudi 'debate' and have moved on to splurging their blood money.

Carra is pathetic and Sky are pathetic

[FiSh77]

What did you expect, sky will be wanking themselves silly once they start spunking hundreds of millions with not word said about where it comes from

Hope we win the lot then I can be done with this shitshow for good

[scouse neapolitan]

Thoroughly dislikeable club and supporter base. This lot are so up themselves it's untrue. Their manufactured support, plastic flags, nicked songs,overflated sense of self and enormous anti-scouse chip on their shoulder towards us and our city has always made them enormously disagreeable.
Recent developments have only made them worse though I suppose they and  their new owners totally belong with one another. They'd love to be us and have our  support and history.  Take the Makkems any day over this lot. Bring them back to earth please Redmen. Give them a reality check.

I don't get that vibe from Newcastle at the moment. That's Man City you've just described. No doubt they'll become more and more like them as the years go by, but not at this moment in time. Not in my opinion anyway.

[scouse neapolitan]

Have a read what they have to say about us.

[Lycan]

I have mate. A small fraction of their fan base. There are still loads of Geordies who have a soft spot for us. The club they can't stand on Merseyside is Everton at this moment in time. The scouse mackems they call them. As I said, as the years go by and the more money they spend, I've no doubt their venom towards us will grow. Just as it did with the Man City fan base. But they aren't at the level you described just yet.

Agree, would be lovely to win everything this season. I have this weird sense, that this is the last season for football as a sport before it turns into true commercial show business. Super leagues, states against states, competition changes only to generate more and more money, etc. The only bright thing in world top football is Jurgen Klopp and us, I truly believe that we are the only ones competing within our means

Isn't that just a way of flattering themselves?

The truth is that Everton are a far more illustrious club than either Newcastle or Sunderland. And Liverpool FC don't even belong in the conversation - even by implication.

Partly yes. 

The Newcastle fan base was one of the few fan bases who never wanted Man City to win the league to 'save football'. They were also one of the few fan bases who weren't screaming "null & void the league" simply just to spite us. We also had a good number of Geordies who used to post on here for many years who were sound. This is all starting to change now of course, and it'll only get worse as time goes by. But I just don't think they're at the stage scouse neopolitan has described, just yet.

I haven't met a single Newcastle fan yet that has an issue with being owned by despots. The ones that do have an issue are a very tiny minority.
They're disgusting. Vile club from top to bottom.

Black and White Paul does (not that I’ve met him!).

[Barneylfc∗]

I know, haven't met him either. 

I know a fair few Newcastle fans here. All of them come off with the same shit
"We don't have any say who owns the club"
"Yeah sure Americans human rights record is top notch"
"We deserve success after years of suffering"
"The PL have said we aren't owned by the Government"

Same shit the likes of Paully was coming off with before fucking off. Hopefully he stays fucked off.

[Red Beret]

"We deserve success after years of suffering"


Whenever I hear that, I wonder about all those people trapped in dead end, minimum wage jobs, struggling to make ends meet. I'm sure they're expecting someone to just rock up to Tesco at midnight as they're leaving work after a 12 hour shift and say to them, "Hey, how would you like a job where I pay you a hundred grand a week to do absolutely nothing?  Except say nice things about me when people ask what's happened to my business partner?"

The day Newcastle win the league is the day I give up on football. Some of them might have a soft spot for Liverpool (you'd hardly think it on a match day like), but wait until we're an obstacle between them and a trophy.

[Jack_Bauer]

I don't get why they feel they should be a regular contender as if they have some massive history like us or United. Didn't they last win a trophy in the 50s? They have been pretty shit for most of my lifetime outside of the two brief spells under Keegan and then Robson.

That's a whole load of shit. You'd think he was the reincarnation of Tom Hicks the way they carried on about him.

Yeah what a c*nt he was, got them to the PL and kept them there.

[Red Beret]

Yeah what a c*nt he was, got them to the PL and kept them there.

He got them relegated too, mind.

Ashley was not a good owner tbf, but he was far from a bad owner either. If the Toon want an example of bad owners, they could ask Blackburn  or Blackpool, or Bolton or Burnley.

True.

They seem to forget they were in a financial mess under Hall and Shepherd they got to the top by doing a Leeds.

Problem is if you dont maintain CL footy on a regular basis it becomes a problem if your wages are high.

Ashley left them debt free to my knowledge and as he rightly pointed out how do thet expect him to compete with a countries wealth ie Man City or Chelsea.

Huh?  Community driven?  Is that after he's finished executing the community members that don't conform to their ideals?

[AndyMuller]

Shite c*nts. Why didn't yous put in half as much effort against Everton a couple of weeks ago?

[I've been a good boy]

Was observing their fans throughout the match, they really are utter gobshites. And the Saudi flag to top it off. A nothing club, and they will remain so even after all their purchased success.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Why does Southgate always sit next to Staveley? Seen it a few times now. Lovely bit of sportswashing.

Their fans have a bit of the Everton about them. Seemed like 90 mins of booing and moaning over every little thing.

Yes, I saw that too. 

Sad horse camel punchers.

I'm on the same boat with you

Surely given Carragher and Neville's social justice concerns, then they must have something to say on the scum that own Newcastle?

But I suppose that's downplaying the brand that pays their wage...

Wish she had bigger shades on,big enough to cover them both.
