Not really, but what we think doesn't matter one iota, does it?

What about the blacks? What do we think of them?
oh my...It's frustrating but I enjoy the way we're run.
He seriously needs to watch the documentary on Jamal khasoggis murder.is nothing to do with them being an oil club it is more the fact their outright owner is someone who is happy bombing schools and hospitals in Yemen killing god knows how many children. Then their is the whole human rights issue where being a homosexual in that country gets you stonned to death. The fact is it was Saudi Money that have funded most of the extremist terrorist groups.
I don't like that we are sponsored by a Chinese insurance company I would loathe being owned by people who are happy bombing children. The dirty money in football needs to be rooted out of football look at Woolwich how can any fan be happy visit Rawanda on their shoulder because the president of that country has made his political opponent diappear disgusts me.
It's not about race, it's about corruption and power added to the greed we already experience with ENIC.
Nothing wrong with picking & choosing your outrage. There aren't sufficient seconds in the day to be outraged by everything that's outrageous.I certainly am a bloke. A ruddy lad!
Look, I get it. These new owners are shits. Quite right.
It’s simply that football is such a moral quagmire, it’s ridiculous to clutch our pearls at this latest development. It is populated with the most greedy, unpleasant scumbags that owners like this are the logical conclusion.
We also pick and choose our outrage. I don’t expect to see ratty Neville or Twitter darling Linekar speak out about the Quatar World Cup. We’ll get to enjoy the amusing spectacle of our lions taking the knee (a gesture that doesn’t bother me in the slightest) at venues built, quite literally, by slaves that died in a country that murders gay people. But we all have our paymasters. And I’ll be watching and cheering too. Please don’t mistake my position for moral superiority. I’m as fair weather as the next man (or bloke).
I just think it’s naff. Football has been a corporate cluster fuck for about 30 years now.
The person making the thread has worded it like an idiot a little bit. Its like sayingWhat about the blacks? What do we think of them?
Exactly why I called the thread question a hot mess Admin should change the fuck out of it!The title of the thread nor many of the comments don't show that. There's a difference between Arabs and the Saudi government of Salman
Admin - I think he means youHe seriously needs to watch the documentary on Jamal khasoggis murder.
Exactly why I called the thread question a hot mess @Amin should change the fuck out of it!
I think within 5 years we will see Spurs, Woolwich, Liverpool and maybe even ManU be nothing more than cup teams. (save your "we already are" jokes...). Sure all those teams can try and get the 4th spot, but the rest will be sewn up for top 3Another nail in the coffin that is modern football.
To be honest, I've fallen out of love with it. I still watch Spurs and want us to do well, but the whole game is just one big corrupt pit. It has the sole intention to just make as much money for the chosen few as possible. All whilst not giving a toss about the fans at all.
If Newcastle won the Premier league.... It won't really have anything to do with Newcastle football club - just like Man City and Chelsea's wins, it will just be another bought and paid for title.
And worst of all..... The quality or rather the excitement of matches has been on a decline for the last 10 years.
Matches are far too cagey and dull, because the cost of losing now is so high for a lot of clubs.

Yep, might sound silly and believe me I think there's a lot that could be different but on the other hand we could be a lot worse run.oh my...
I doubt we will get taken over so that can sit well with the moral compass mob, but it means of course that our baron run of winning fuck all will continue.No way do I want Tottenham taken over.
It's frustrating but I enjoy the way we're run. Least it's not funded by blood money or oil.
Changed the title.
Looks like many people (me included) have been answering the wrong question!Changed the title.
