And a keffiyeh makes a good alternative place to a t-shirt sleeve for keeping your tabs in.

Might Mike Ashley, in fact, be a genius?

Thank you.
There is no such expectation or rule here, largely because having one would be seen as an invitation to all and sundry to overwhelm the police with dubious complaints. There is an obligation for them to accept such complaints, but a reasonable proportion of them are never acted on at all.

NUFC Pride have made a statement backing their new owners against protests from pride fans of the three clubs they’ve played so far ferchrissakes. Talk of collaboration to prevent future protests if and when they hear of them! Even the more unwoke element of our support are laying into them over it on our forums though their motivation may be as mixed up as the NUFC Pride idiots brains obviously are.
How many times can one shark be jumped?

NUFC Pride are normally strong on trans issues AFAIK, which I doubt go down well with the owners.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 08-11-2021, 17:00.

Is that 'United with Pride' or another group? I've looked on the former's twitter and can't see a statement, though did find out they appear to be a club sanctioned/run supporter's group so are pretty bogus anyway.
By the way if there’s another organisation that I’ve confused them with or may have caused someone else to do so then my deepest apologies.

That surprise has since turned to disbelief after United With Pride wrote to the other clubs’ groups to say they would not join any public protest asking for improved conditions for LGBT+ people in Saudi Arabia. United With Pride asked that anyone planning a protest against PIF tells them in advance so they can alert the club “to ensure stadium security are aware”.
Some opposition fan groups feel this information would be used to try to silence them and are adamant they will not be giving Newcastle any kind of warning. United With Pride’s stance is that they would rather try to change things by talking to the owners privately than making public protests.

And I'm sure they'll let us know when those private talks have resulted in LGBTQ+ liberation across Saudi Arabia. We get the same shit here from Bayern Munich when they're criticised by their own fans (a huge protest banner was unveiled at Saturday's game with Freiburg) for holding training camps in Qatar and having Qatar Airways as their official airline. "Oh, don't worry, we're changing the system from within." Right, so how's that going? Are talks at too sensitive a stage to comment just yet? No worries, I'm sure Oliver Kahn's putting in the hours out there and is set to unveil Qatar as a multi-party, transparent democracy any day now.

They’ve a pretty stiff set of fixtures leading up to the January window. His promotion from the second flight experience may be whats required if he doesn’t hit the ground running. Though I suppose all fixtures are stiff when you’ve only got three top half Pl quality players at your club. ASM, Wilson and Willock. Motivating the rest to put themselves out of a job at the biggest club most will probably ever play for is going to be his most difficult thing.
