Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

[jrb]

I’m not buying into this ‘oh they deserve a bit of success’ shite that’s coming from a certain corner of our fan base, and on this thread.

Newcastle fans are like rags/scousers, they believe their club is somehow holier than thou and they have some god given right to success. They’ve sneered at City over the years and now all of a sudden the racist judging of our ownership has gone out of the window now they’ve got a few quid.

I hope it blows up in the fuckers faces, bollocks to them.

On the other hand I’ve always found Sunderland fans to be a friendly and reasonable bunch - always had a bit of a soft spot for them, a bit like West Ham.

I have to agree.

Since Sheikh Mansour bought City, and City have been winning trophies, Newcastle’s fanbase has become pretty bitter towards us. Let’s be honest, they’ve hardly been gushing about our owners, club, and fanbase. Admittedly they aren’t as bitter about us as the Red Shirt fans. The Geordies will come to the Etihad this season giving it the big one after the takeover.

Why should we welcome the geordies to the top table, we was made to feel like a turd in a swimming pool. So fuck em let have to deal with the shit City still do today.

There is zero evidence that it has impacted our ability to attract sponsors etc though. Each year we sign big commercial partnerships, we have the CFG which is going strength to strength and we sign world class players each summer.

I don't see anything wrong with Pep speaking to Khaldoon, the UEFA battle was before his time so it's reasonable to have the conversation.

Well, you dont know what talks City have had with other parties which came to nothing, and why. We hear only about successful talks.
Nothing wrong re Pep talks nor implied by me.

Having said all of the above it would be properly hilarious if they signed Salah at Christmas

It’s possible to be annoyed about how something is done, rather than what was done.

It’s also possible that we’ve agreed to attend the meeting but that doesn’t guarantee we will say what the Guardian is implying at that meeting.

I wonder if the club will come out with a statement on it, either condemning it or welcoming them to the league.

City never say anything. They only came out and made a statement about the Super League due to the backlash from our fans, other football fans, the Government, etc.

Our owners are here to do good business and make this club the best they can. I can totally understand them not wanting an extra threat to our success.
On the other hand us, as fans, can see the positives in the Newcastle takeover as it will affect the teams in red a lot more than it will affect us. Plus the more magnanimous amongst us will take some pleasure watching the long suffering Newcastle support enjoy a ride similar to the one bestowed upon our team.
Good luck to the Geordies and I live in hope of a season soon without a team in red in the top 4 - although when it happens watch them change the rules, but that’s for a different thread …

Apart from continually waving bank notes at the Etihad, slagging off our support, and the club. Bar that, they are a decent and friendly bunch.

I found the waving of banknotes rather amusing tbh.

Where were you.....

Some vocal attention seeking ones have, but that could be said for any club. All the Newcastle fans I know, and its a fair few, have never had anything bad to say about us. So best of luck to them.I’d rather them fet some success than many other clubs .

I know a few Geordies and they were all ok with our takeover, they were happy we broke the “sky sports 4” cartel.

No doubt Sly sports will have an hour long interview with Klopp this Friday on the subject.
When really he should be talking about his own team's fixture that weekend.
I reckon it will go along his normal lines of "i've not been able to sleep because of this" and "it's a bad day for football" blah blah.

Do me a favour Klopp and put the glasses back on.
I never wanted to see Deidre Barlow without any nor do i you.
It makes you look even more pyschotic
