    Indeed. I know the Super League proposals had people getting on the football is for the people bus again, but fucking lol, it's a morally bankrupt, genuinely corrupt, 99% closed shop shitfest. It has been for ages and is only going to get worse.

    Premier league players feel free to steal this goal celebration idea. Run to the corner flag and pick up a rainbow flag and have the rest of your teammates imaginary stone you to death.

    Even the notion that it’s for the people is laughable. Hasn’t been for decades. It does make all this grandstanding even more entertaining though.

    I don’t understand this line of thinking. The people with a problem with this takeover more than likely had a problem with all those things too.

    The 'well what about all those bad owners' argument is absolutely nonsensical. The Saudis are a state actor and are worse than all of them combined.

    It all stems from the long-term delusion up there that Newcastle is a city of note, which, post-shipbuilding era, it is not. It's inevitable when you're so isolated from the rest of the country, geographically, I suppose. You end up talking to yourself in your own little world.

    The Saudis are awful and another nail in the coffin of football. The fact that Newcastle fans are lapping them up is absolutely tragic.

    As if Kronke, Abramovic, or probably Levy have never had anyone killed. People just don’t want another player the game and are masking in this human rights posturing. As of 99% of them actually give a fuck.

    City being privately owned is a legal fiction, and they are also minority owned by a Chinese state investment vehicle. China as in them people doing that genocide. This isn't any worse than that.

    What would you prefer we did? Object to it and chain Mike Ashley to his desk? If the Saudis want to bid for it, there is nothing the Premier League can legally do to stop it.

    Lewis has it covered.

    That list of 3 is so funny. The guy that married the chick who owns Walmart and the Oligarch who captured huge swathes of state owned resources in the fall of the USSR having similar body counts is a funny concept.

    They aren't a nice lot but buying Newcastle is the latest in a long line of pisstake vanity projects (a big clock to fuck off the other muslims, the big city in a line that won't work etc).

    Regular mentions of the big bad Sauds doing bad things……… that’ll be a big fat zero.

    Big bad Saudis buy football club….. “oh my days it’s terrible and I’m outraged by them”

    Nobody really gives a shit only that it might interfere with their own team.

    Abramovich has had some Siberians done in, iirc. I was against the takeover at the time as long, long, long term TTHers will know. I'm still against him really although these days he is probably more absurd than evil.

    Are there many major companies and governments left that haven't been funded in part by the Saudis? The time to protest was decades ago.

    It's shit, but at this point it's how our society functions.

    Haven’t seen a thing about them for a long long time in any of the various forms of media where I’m reading all the crying and disgust today.

    This is the better question. There isn't even a bent property market angle like the various crooks involved in Manchester football (has anybody ever asked Gary Neville about that stuff?), which you might have got with Leeds.

    Well, I've not written any blogs about it but I've tweeted a number of times over the past 6 years about the Saudis human rights and/or how I would hate them to take over United.

    Then you’re literally not reading them. Care to mention who doesn’t talk about Saudi Arabia who’s crying today? Not just ‘them’. Thanks.

    Had to Giggles check my social media history and luckily I have called them bad but also found this which id like to share.

    I mean, I'm not thrilled about it. I'd rather we had a cool local bloke coming in. One that goes on about community and puts a real focus on the team. In the absence of that, I'll tolerate the guys that did 9/11 to run our club into a money crater. I can't do much about the Qataris building vanity projects off the back of slave labour. Or the fact that China owns a load of British houses that were built by Saudi oil-based products and concrete.

    What I can do is maybe look forward to the thing I like being worth watching again.

    Even Will Smith knew the movie sucked [but the song does not] cos he rapped about it in another track later on:

    Yo, I must have a 'S' on my chest
    I've recovered from the Wild, Wild West, yes
    Yo, I been up the creek without a paddle
    Now I'm back in the saddle

    They will own a lot of professional sport reasonably soon, unless there's cultural pushback. They tried to basically buy golf earlier in the year, but the Americans told them to do one, so they had a massive cry and bought the Asian Tour instead.

    Think they were sniffing around Formula 1 at one stage as well.

    I think as the Rashford thing shows, no problem decrying the filth, but they’re all equally happy to bathe in it, or even pay people to do that for them, when it suits.
