  1. It makes me think if 95 percent of Newcastle fans support this takeover, what crimes would a mega rich owner have to be involved in, not to have majority support from fans.
  2. The premiership holds little appeal to me. As I said if we can get to league 1 I will be happy enough!
  3. Not me I would take Ryan Reynolds and less money over these people.
  4. The funny thing is even with the money we are just as bad as we were before. Maybe some teams are just destined for failure! To be honest national league is not the best league to invest due to only 2 promotion places which means the top 10 in the league are all better than many in league 2. If you want instant success league 2 much better option with 4 promotion slots.
  5. It's mad, you now have multi millionaires owning clubs in league 2 and the national league.
  6. Surely there is a middie ground where you can hate Ashley and also hate the Saudi regime?
  7. Ashley may not be great at running a club, although there have been way way worse. He also comes across as a complete dick. That doesn't mean far worse people should get a free pass.
  8. Not recently, but out of lack of interest more than principles! My view is a football club represents so much more than all these others organisation. It's a representation of the community, it's history and tradition. Maybe old fashioned view, but I'm sticking to it. What it comes down to is that Newcastle fans can turn a blind eye to things like Khadhoggi assassination if it means they get a better centre forward. If that's what top level football is about, I would rather stay in the lower league. Our owner may have killed hundreds of people, but at least it's only in films!
  9. I will happily point fingers. I think everyone will have a line what they are willing to accept, I just can't believe anyone can draw a line which puts the Saudis on the right side. If they took over Wrexham, I would refuse to go to games out of principle. Then again I would be ecstatic just to get to league 1!
  10. So in terms of Newcastle does killing people not matter as long as they invest more money than Ashley?
  11. Isn't that indoor sports only? I am personally wary about giving the government that much power.
  12. Are you calling for compulsory vaccination? I have to say I'm on the fence about this.
  13. Not sure why Fernandes feels the need to apologise for missing a penalty, people always have missed penalties and always will. This apologizing for mistakes/misses on social media seems to be creeping in to the game, I am not sure that is a good thing.
  14. If Pep things it's a good idea for premiership teams to put B teams in the football league, he is talking complete bollocks.
  15. The thing is people remember penalty misses and forget the ones that are scored which skews perception. When players are brought on to take penalties in shootouts and score, nobody uses them to counter any argument.
  16. Surely Noble missing a penalty is just evidence that footballers sometimes miss penalties, rather than evidence that a player needs to get in the game to take a penalty.
  17. Wrexham got 8000 plus yesterday for a national league game. Also been announced as the first non league team to get in Fifa. You can't get a home football top and it's tough to get a ticket. The owners really know how to play the social media game. Just need to translate it to results on the pitch.
  18. Although of course Ronaldo joining was not the only variable that changed during the last 3 years.
  19. I honestly think of your a PSG or Man Utd player you are just happy to have the players there. You accept the best players in the world get paid more.
  20. Great signing for Man Utd in my view. His presence in the dressing room will be a huge boost to his teammates.
  21. I don't watch and just follow online for the last few years. If I was someone like Adam Cole I would be a bit reluctant to jump if you end up being the lowest profile person of 4 or 5 others all joining at a similar time. AEW is no different to any wrestling organisation in they can't focus on everyone. If I was him I would use his position to try and get the best deal out of WWE or wait untill his move may have more impact.
  22. He isn't even that great a keeper!
  23. I think the only chance Chelsea have to get Haaland is now. Once that release clause kicks in there will be too much competition.
  24. I would argue the fans are heavily influenced by the media.
  25. I think he has a lot to prove before he meets the "great player" criteria. There was all this hype about him (predominantly media driven) during the Euros, but as I said I don't think the hype matches the performance.
