They look at the $$$$$$. Eddie Howe doesnt care that he is technically complicit in the affairs of the Saudi murderous regime. As long as he gets his willy stroked by $$$$$$.

Whether he agrees or not, his hand may as well been on the gun that killed the 81. The keys that lock up young women. As anyone who has anything to do with Saudi does. All for the sake of football results.

81 young men murdered, buy yay toon got a point.

[MJD-L4]

Is this the same Eddie Howe who responded to questions about the execution of 81 men with "My specialist subject is football. It’s what I know and as soon as I deviate from that into an area where I don’t feel qualified to have a huge opinion I go into dangerous ground so, at the moment, I prefer to stick to what I believe I know"? Glad he feels qualified to sympathise with Amanda & Mehrdad for being near to an incident that might have caused them harm but didn't...

I don't know how these people look at themselves in the mirror.

Quite liked Howe @ Bournemouth and thought he seemed like a decent bloke.

Obviously I was mistaken as he is, quite clearly, a massive c*nt.

[Tobelius]

Not as scary as having your head chopped off.
A shame Eddie doesn’t give two fucks about the safety of the citizens of the country that own his club.

Was about to say,little less scary than being killed and dismembered in a consulate by order of your crown prince or executed for whatever reason or sent to prison for decades for typing your opinion of your government or being gay or....

Did you miss the winner?

[Peabee]

so scary - please sympathize with us!!

I bet it wasn’t even anywhere near them either. They wouldn’t have been among the pedestrians.


I wish they’d show more sympathy for the citizens of Saudi Arabia being executed for the sexuality they were born with.

[Max_powers]

Go by any busy street at dinner time and at least one food delivery driver is gonna wizz by you on his scooter or motorcycle. I bet there is a family out there waiting for their pizza to be delivered, kids gone to bed hungry and these twats want to garner all the sympathy. I refuse.

Apart from Fat Frank I can’t think of anyone In football whose face screams “Tory” as much as Howes.

Although lots of Tories would draw the line before being puppets for genocidal racist fascist regimes. So eddies on his own even in that company.

Newcastle have always been an irritating bunch of c*nts. They’ve always done the sign on shite. For some reason they think they’re a big club when they’re just not. Their claim to fame is a big ground. Good for them it’s slightly bigger than Sunderland’s (and Sunderland have more recent success in big trophies). They’re a glorified yo-yo club who got lucky with Keegan and lucky with Robson. Absolute shite. Steve fucking Bruce was too good for them. They’re like Leeds and Villa; think they belong at the big table when they’re shit. (Granted Leeds and Villa both have major trophies in the past). In the PL era they’ve had one good player. Prior to that fuck all too.

[Tesco tearaway]

If memory serves he was not happy with the new regime or the way football was going in general.

He was quite happy with the way things were going post "Fat Bastard Mike Astley" as far as I can remember.
He was cheering a couple of their wins under the new regime iIrc.
Fucking hope it's my memory going astray; he is/was a cracking lad.

I know he stopped going games under Ashley and pretty sure he was against the Saudi owners.

[Stubbins]

Sam's been sportswashed.

It's striking that the Geordie Bruce Springsteen, the down to earth working class lad with a profound social conscience, can't bring himself to be even the slightest bit critical of the Toon's Saudi owners. A touch hypocritical perhaps?

Never mind, the plastic flag producers of Tyneside will get a bumper pay day when Sam appears at St James.

[mikeb58]

Another shite result for them, 1 win in 6, mid table dross.

[Jack_Bauer]

That's what they always will be as long as Eddie the Tory is in charge and let's face it they deserve it and all.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

But weren't the horse punchers always telling everyone that they "deserved" success?, nothing about buying well and being properly coached, they deserved it, why?, just because, that's why.

[Jack_Bauer]

Of course they "deserve it" for all that suffering under Fat Mike.

[Terry de Niro]

Of course they "deserve it" for all that suffering under Fat Mike. the trophy-less years since they won an egg cup.

[rushyman]

Geordie I know is something else.

Absolutely Rabid about Liverpool and the city, racist as you want calling everyone of every colour and ethnicity everything going, but is perfectly happy about his owners

Absolute piece of shit he is. Tries to come off as a nice bloke but he’s brimming with hate for everyone and anything.

[GreatEx]

Nice to see them get fucked by VAR, still haven't bought they way to protected status... Yet.

Not even been a year yet. Though give it time and it will be just the same as it is with City.

They really did suffer under Ashley.
Didn’t he used to imprison them for 45 years for posting on social media?
I’m sure I heard about him confiscated all kids Christmas presents that had rainbow colours on them too.

Yeah, I've never understood this idea that they deserved success. Is it because they had a few very good seasons in the 90s? Because nothing in their history says they are some sleeping giant. The season before their 90s renaissance began they finished 20th in the 24 team Second Division and had spent most of the 80s in the Second Division. They've won four league titles throughout their history, which is the same as Sheffield Wednesday. Three of which were between 1905 and 1909. The last one was in 1927. They've won six FA Cups including three between 1951 and 1955. The last major honour they won was the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969. 

Newcastle are tied with Everton for FA Cup final appearances, but then again Everton have won more league titles than Newcastle. Even Sunderland have won more league titles (6) than Newcastle and their last one was more recent (1935/36) and nobody is saying either of those teams deserve success. 

Newcastle's "success" since the PL began has been due to two managers: finishing 3rd, 6th and runner-up twice during the Keegan years and 4th, 3rd and 5th under Bobby Robson. Their average position during the PL era has been 10th and they've been relegated twice. They have a big stadium and passionate fans, but if they hadn't been bought out by Saudi Arabia their fans likely would have viewed success as winning a League Cup or FA Cup.

I think a component of the love in for Newcastle is down to the personality of Keegan and Robson, blithe decent,  omitted football men.

Bobby Robson was a decent fella, can't imagine he'd have been overly enamoured with the Saudi takeover and subsequent Sportswash

[scouse neapolitan]

Their support is no more passionate than that of Leeds, Sunderland or even that of the Evertonians. I mean, a one-city town that size with an enormous catchment area should be passionate. They've built the narrative up to such a point that they really do feel aggrieved that they're not mentioned in the same breath as us. With the help of the national media, they've always had their egos pumped up.  Plus the fact, they don't do modesty.

They're passionate now that things look to be on the up but like most football crowds when the going was tough, St James' Park was like a library for a long time, on their own admission. Nah. Give me the mackems any day. Same part of the world but less arrogant and they've always come across as more savvy than the horse punchers.
Agree 100% about Bobby Robson. Great bloke and true gentleman.

They won’t stop until they have taken over all popular world sports so they can use them for whatever suits their purpose.

Well, at least they win the World Beheading Championship every year...

[mikeb58]

Two SAFC's in the North East now...

Sunderland Association Football Club

Saudi Arabia Football Club

Even before the take over, give me The Mackems version any day.

[Linudden]

That's right. Give us Sunderland and Middlesbrough (who incidentally play each other tonight) and send the Sandcastle back to the Championship in exchange. Heck, even Hartlepool, Darlington or Gateshead would add more to the Prem than the Saudis do.

You'd surely take that over Saudi FC though?

[Thepooloflife]

Had the misfortune of having a look to see why Sean Cox was trending on twitter last night. The stuff posted by their fans about him, heysel and Hillsborough was vile some of the worst I have seen. Reported it but it's still there this morning but my account is suspended because I called them c*nts.

Not on twatter, so I don't know what they said, but I can well imagine........what a horrible set of numbskull twats they are - not an ounce of decency in any of 'em.
