Might Mike Ashley, in fact, be a genius?

    Worst start in club history stats wise and yes performances as well as results match all previous relegation seasons seen 1978 onwards. Reasons for optimism being been there and quite recently under Rafa. Comfortably avoided relegation and that without major improvements in January. Think they will be forthcoming this time. Enough to get above bottom three.
    I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

      Cracking up at this: seems apposite that this mawkish shite would get posted during Big Poppy Season. Imagine kissing billionaire arse this much. Could never be me.

      (As it happens, KateStewart22 popped up right at the start of the takeover farrago with a strongly pro-Saud agenda and was, if I remember correctly, quite thoroughly outed as some Arabia-based PR shill/bot concoction.)

        Oh yeah, this is the one:

          And then there's shite like this, which is assuredly not cracking me up.

            I love the Glaswegian Geordie who's got in on the replies there.

              Staveley = Christine Hamilton?

              But more seriously, it's genuinely scary that the Saudis have bots and other cyber attack dogs set up to swamp journalists' DMs. Putin-like (or substitute name of any other totalitarian fascist). I'd be getting jitters if I were involved in any online writing under my real name.

                  Sportswashing as "positive influence to improving the conditions for the LGBTQ+ community in Saudi Arabia" update:

                  Newcastle United’s LGBT+ fan group, United with Pride, has decided to leave the Pride in Football network.
                  You may be surprised to note that the spokesperson for United with Pride comes out with some remarkably mealy-mouthed shite.

                      It’s turning a tad sinister up there. The #nufc Twitter feed is revealing some very strange people……and some of them aren’t even our lot on a wind up.

                        From a few days ago, can't believe I have only just seen it.

                          Crikey.

                            Crikey indeed.

                            And catching up with the latest Viz, I see Rick Spangle has been bought out at Fulchester United by Darth Vader.

                              Please tell me these people aren't allowed to vote, or use electrical equipment.

                                  I hope they enjoy their preseason tour to Saudi, perhaps then they might come to their senses. *

                                      Erm, that's just optimism, surely. Probably (hopefully) misplaced...

                                        Quite apart from anything else, are they saying "washing the chips"?

                                            I stopped watching after 27 seconds. Couldn't bear it.

                                              The performance appears to be led by two women, who clearly have no idea what life would be like in Saudi Arabia for themselves. Unlike their male chorus they don't appear to be wearing particularly modest clothing for example.

                                                They don;t care do they? They are just happy to be rich. Who gives a shit where the money comes from. And anyone pointing it out is clearly just jealous

                                                  True they either don't know or don't care. But the costumes suggest they do know where the money's coming from.

                                                    Obviously we want them to go down but they are going to stink out the Championship for (at least) a year in doing so. OTOH it will be interesting to see who would be willing to sign for a second tier doped club.
